Typo alert! AT ~0:43, it should read "dependent," not "dependant." Thanks to rhtcguru!
Hai
I am big fan of you
Your english speaking is very good
OK
YES
Oh my goodness, Im trying to help my daughter with homework,,, I watched this video 13 times, fell asleep a couple times, drank some coffee, watched it a few more times, got a headache, took some aspirin, watched it 5 more times, fell asleep again. After all that, I still don’t get this. They all look like sentences to me. I think I remember why I went into the trades.
😂
!!!
LOL
😂🤣😂
*I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS AND MY ASSIGNMENT IS DUE TOMORROW*
Great video!
The phrases that I caught are: " the author" = noun phrase, " at the book store" = prepositional phrase, " at midnight " = prepositional phrase and " to be rather eccentric " = prepositional phrase.
Writing the dependent clause in capital letters to illustrate it...BRILLIANT!
This really helped me after my big test ,thank you .
We're so happy our video helped - thanks for letting us know! Congrats on your hard work. 💜🦉
Hi! I am 55 and trying to help my grandson with his English. Prepositions, Clauses etc. Did I fall asleep all through my English classes, when I was at school? I cannot, for the life of me, remember any of this.Thank you for this channel, it is kinda helping him and myself. I just need to try and understand it myself first, though. Thanks again

From Italy
grazie molto! Thank you for watching! :)
This Channel is just amazing. Thanks !
Simply superb
Thank you. Could you kindly make your next video on the main theme or story of The Merchant of Venice ?
I wish Socratica was around when I was growing up.
That is so nice of you to say, thank you!!
We think that all the time - can you imagine how different school would have been if you could have just looked up a video about something you didn't understand?
I recently went back to school to finish my degree. Socratica helped me pass my Ancient Philosophy class. I think channels like this are really wonderful supplemental learning aids. Especially since some students process information better through visual and verbal assimilation. Keep up the good work!
That's fantastic - it's never too late to learn! For many people, they stop learning at age 18 or 22 and that's it for the rest of their lives. We never have to stop! :)
Thanks so much for letting us know about your story - this really inspires us to make more videos. :)
Thank you so much
I understood everything 🙂🙂
Keep it up
good video
thank you so much this is very helpful
Thank you for your teachings and your beautiful looks.
How beautifully you said here they are❤❤
Awesome lesson..
We're so glad you enjoyed it! :) Thanks for watching!
You would say "has been," because of how the verb "to be" is conjugated.
I have been
You have been
He/she/it has been
We have been
They have been
This is very cool!!!

1:01, Mistake! "So" is a coordinating conjunction used between 2 Independent Clauses.
*_So that_*
I am big fan of you
I love these videos and sharing some on Twitter. but I have a complaint. The white shirt-tail showing below the dark sweaters is distracting.
So phrases are "the author, at the bookstore, at midnight?" Those are all the phrases that I can find out.
Right!
tq It was soo useful for my English examination
the phrases are rather eccentric.Is the answer correct?
OH MY GOD THANK YOU
I THOUGHT I WAS GONNA FALL ASLEEP OR WATCH ANIME BC I HAD NO HOPE OF LEARNING THIS BEFORE A TEST
Oh jesus, you are so smart. I follow you in socratica for the brazilian guys and i learning english. What you think about a i see yours videos in english ? is good to learn more ? cause i dont know so much things and i fell very confusie when i see the videos
I Have a some much question but i dont remember know anyone kkkkk
Gosto muito de você e dos seus videos
Hi , there , are there any words in the clause that doesn't count a dependent clause ? One of my colleges said if a clause contains these words " For , And , Nor , But , Or ,Yet , So " , then it's not a dependent clause . Is it true 💁♀️ ?
Disponibilizem a legenda em português... seria muito bom!!
Are you saying that dependant clauses are complete sentences but they can’t stand on their own because they don’t make sense on their own? For example: “I am”. This sentence is complete because it has a subject (I) and a verb (am). However, it can’t stand on it’s own because it doesn’t explain what I am.
I like the animation.
So sweet you are darling! Thanks!
She's so pretty and smart.
YOUR CONTENTS AND DELIVERY SKILLS ARE JUST TOO AMAZING
"to be rather eccentric" is an Infinitive Phrase; "is known" is a Verb Phrase; "at the bookstore" is a Prepositional Phrase; "at midnight" is a Prepositional Phrase.
How'd I do?
I love your videos, will you please make a tutorial about Conditional types and when to use them, thank's.
"The Author", noun Phrase
"is known", verb phrase
"rather eccentric", adjective phrase
"arrived at the", verb phrase
"bookstore at midnight", prepositional phrase
Is that all correct? What are the right answers?
Did you misspell "dependent" in the video??
@ ~0:43 in
Aaaaahh good eye! That's a typo. :( Elsewhere it is correct, dependent. Will pin a comment about this, thank you! :)
Where are you from?
Love from India
hi i know its a big ask ! but can you guys get into more details !
when a sentence have an introduction words, phrases, clause, and appositive connect together............ I will usually get confuse.............and I will put all these grammar order wrong in a sentence...............
Hey..u make it so easy , you're beautiful, funny..you are awesome!!😊👌
Não entendi nada. Mas adoro a sua voz.

Clauses and phrases are NOT parts of speech.
Mashallah
