Here are my examples: 1. Being as one of the illegal drugs in sports competitions, doping is still used by many athletes these days. 2. Having completed the Master of Education in TESOL program at Ho Chi Minh City Open University, she went to America to continue her further education. 3. Adelaide, which has been voted the most livable city in the world, is the fifth largest city in Australia. 4. It was your sister-in-law who I met on the way back from work yesterday. 5. It was in 1987 that Princess Diana changed attitudes to AIDS by shaking hands with a man who was dying of AIDS without wearing gloves. 6. Started in 1945, Vietnam's illiteracy eradication policy was aimed at opening classes and launching diverse learning activities to help learners develop both their reading and writing skills. 7. My essay on Artifical Intelligence, which I found quite difficult at the beginning, got a really good mark in the end.
Thanks for your answer, Vy Ngo! Here are a few suggestions: 1) 'Doping' is the act of using drugs, it is not a specific drug. 2) '...America to further her education,' or, '...America to continue her higher education,' not, '...America to continue her further education'. 3) It wasn't covered in this lesson, but for this sentence, you want to use 'whom': 'It was your sister-in-law whom I met on the way back from work yesterday'. Hope this helps!

Hi. I'm teaching English in China. I've encountered a certain problem with Chinese teachers here. The thing is they teach that SP, ST and SK/SC followed by a vowel should be pronounced SB, SD and SG, respectively. Examples are 'spider', 'spoon', 'skate', 'scatter', 'scone', 'school', 'star', 'stone' and so on. Would it be possible for you to make a video on this, please?
Good. Please post a video on literary sentences of classic writers, e. g. Bunyan, Swift, Lord Macaulay, Hazlitt, Jeremy Taylor, Herbert Reade, Hawthorne, Melville, etc.
Wow! That would be quite the video. Although that might be a bit too specific for this channel, we might be able to incorporate understanding sentences that are similar in future lessons!
Hello. I am an aspiring author. I would like a detailed and comprehensive course in sentence construction. Can you please guide me on how to go about it?

Hi there. thank you a lot for sharing such great videos. May I put the second example in this way; being the earliest well-known example of financial bubble,Tulip mania can be used as a term to refer to... is it correct?

At 6.34, can I write "Being introduced to northern Europe in the mid-16th century, " instead of "Introduced to northern Europe in the mid-16th century," ? Do they have same meaning? Thank you so much!
Hi Dave, good question. Since these ideas are in the past, you want to stay in the past. You could say something like 'Having been introduced...' but 'being introduced' does not have the same meaning. Hope this helps you!
Thank you for your answer but actually I wanted to know if I can change passive -ed participle clause to passive -ing participle clause by adding "being" in front of -ed participle clause (if two action happen at the same time). Are they the same?
Hello, could someone help me please clarify on this grammar? "The company (I work with) cannot hire (whom you recommend)," is that a SIMPLE SENTENCE even though there is a relative adjective clause in the subject and the object is a noun clause? or "the company can't hire" is an independent clause and "who you recommend" is a subordinate clause, but "who I work with" is connected to the subject, not to a clause.
Hi Rakesh, we have many lessons on writing essays for English exams that might be helpful for you. You can find them here: www.oxfordonlineenglish.com/?s=essay.
In the cleft sentences , you wrote IT WAS IN HOLLAND THAT TULIPS STARTED TO BE CULTIVATED, in 1593 . CANT WE WRITE "it was in holland WHERE tulips started to be cultivated in 1593". Or in the next example "it was in 1593 that tulips started to be cultivated in holland". Cant we write "it was in 1593 when the tulips started to be cultivated in holland." If we write like what i said , will we place a comma before when .... is it a relative clause that i am making and that is why its not a cleft sentence?? WAITING FOR YOUR REPLY.
Excuse me sir , could you tell me why we couldn't use the word that instead of which in non defining relative clauses. For example : Babylon City, which ( that ) is 85 kilometers south of Baghdad, is a popular tourist site .
Hi there. That is the rule: When we have a non-defining relative clause, we are adding more information but it is not necessary to understand the main idea. Therefore, the clause begins with 'which' and not 'that' because 'that' is not placed after commas that introduce non-defining relative clauses.
Hi Muhammad, you can grammatically use that structure. However, it changes the meaning of the sentence and puts emphasis on where it occurred instead of when it reached its peak.
Hi Harry. Sure. You can find more information in our other lessons: www.oxfordonlineenglish.com/grammar-lesson-1-sentence-structure, www.oxfordonlineenglish.com/sentence-structure.
Thank you for watching our lessons. You have some interesting questions. For your other comment, that is the difference between present simple and present perfect. We have some lessons to help with that: www.oxfordonlineenglish.com/present-simple-verb-tense, www.oxfordonlineenglish.com/present-perfect-verb-tense. For these questions he 'got fainted' is not a correct phrase. 'He fainted' is correct. Also, 'he was killed' and 'he got killed' have almost exactly the same meaning, and are using the passive voice, which you can learn about here: www.oxfordonlineenglish.com/passive-voice. Hope this is useful for you!
Thank you for the suggestion, Rajkumar! We might be able to do something like that in the future. We also have these lessons on sentence structure which might help you: www.oxfordonlineenglish.com/sentence-structure, www.oxfordonlineenglish.com/grammar-lesson-1-sentence-structure.

Thank you oxford online english ,Iam from 🇱🇰 sri lanka
This lesson is so helpful to improve my skill of sentence structure,which troubled me for a long time.
Here are my examples:
1. Being as one of the illegal drugs in sports competitions, doping is still used by many athletes these days.
2. Having completed the Master of Education in TESOL program at Ho Chi Minh City Open University, she went to America to continue her further education.
3. Adelaide, which has been voted the most livable city in the world, is the fifth largest city in Australia.
4. It was your sister-in-law who I met on the way back from work yesterday.
5. It was in 1987 that Princess Diana changed attitudes to AIDS by shaking hands with a man who was dying of AIDS without wearing gloves.
6. Started in 1945, Vietnam's illiteracy eradication policy was aimed at opening classes and launching diverse learning activities to help learners develop both their reading and writing skills.
7. My essay on Artifical Intelligence, which I found quite difficult at the beginning, got a really good mark in the end.
Thanks for your answer, Vy Ngo! Here are a few suggestions:
1) 'Doping' is the act of using drugs, it is not a specific drug.
2) '...America to further her education,' or, '...America to continue her higher education,' not, '...America to continue her further education'.
3) It wasn't covered in this lesson, but for this sentence, you want to use 'whom': 'It was your sister-in-law whom I met on the way back from work yesterday'.
