Your lessons give me an impression that you are a very conscientious teacher. You deal with every subject thoroughly and concisely . Thank you so much.
Thanks for your great explanation. No sooner had the taxi stopped than he jumped into it. The original sentence: As soon as the taxi stopped, he jumped into it. Why did we use past perfect with inversion?
Hello Professor Thank you so much for your help and advice, i really appreciate your job. I wish you peace and happness under the sky of prosperity. All the best. Take care and have a good time. Your Student from Algeria.
I have little bit confusing regarding a sentence that " Pooja saw him dangling her son from the balcony" In this , I have two confusions 1. Whether Pooja saw from balcony or her son was dangling from balcony? 2.' Pooja saw him 'mean whom saw Pooja either her son or any other individual? I'm looking forward your reply

@@AngloLinkEnglish According to the rule we have to invert . We have started with a place adverbial. Here is a place adverbial. Here comes the sun . I would be grateful if you answered my question .

Thanks a million for your lessons. They are the best way to master English ever. YOU deserve to be graded as a 🌟🌟🌟⭐⭐⭐⭐ teacher. THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR GREAT EFFORTS 💐💐
Dear Teacher, It's fantastic! Would you mind guiding me through sentence 7 of the exercise. My humble knowledge says that if we are to use inversion in the expression 'Not only ... but also', there should be parallelism, i.e., there should be two clauses: Not only is she intelligent, but she is also diligent. Isn't it incorrect to say: Not only is she intelligent but also diligent. Looking forward to receiving your kind reply! Dear Teacher, Thanks in anticipation.
Hello teacher. Thanks for your great lesson. Could I ask you which of the following sentence is correct? I’d highly appreciate your help. 1. Behind the house was the car I drove. 1. Behind the house is the car I drove.
What a great video! Thanks for helping me in gaining new insights. I just wondering if the creator could give me enlightenment about the note which stated 'Inversions after prep. and adverbs of place do not happen with pronouns e.g. There he goes'. However, on exercise No. 13. Why did the structure of inversion not similar to the note; Given: There it goes ----> Inversion: There goes (why was it not: There it goes (no change). Did I miss a key to understanding the structure?
Actually, the question is: "There it goes; your lovely cat". She didn't use inversion for "there it goes", she used inversion for the part "your lovely cat". The sentence in the exercise is just trying to confuse you. So if you want it to be clear, we can write it again "Your lovely cat goes there", and we have the inversion "There goes your lovely cat". I hope you get the point.
Man, are you brilliant person! Not only are you brilliant, but you are broad-minded as well. More important than reading news is conversing with you. You are really outgoing and talented personality, as is my cousin. Had I not got acquainted with you, my speaking skills would have been modified more sluggish. No sooner had you written me than my interest to speak was piqued. At home lives my nephew. Seldom does she hinder me to study. Only when she sleeps do I have possibilities to work on myself. At no time have I been overseas, but it is not a reason not to get high score. Under no circumstances should we stop preparing for IELTS. May all your dreams come true, me too. Here is my desire to you, be happy.
Thank you Minoo! But suddenly appears a question.(accidentally I have used inversion). Can we use Past Perfect verbs in a separate phrase where there is no other past action? Your example with "Seldom had Fred met such an intriguing person" shows that this is OK! Am I right? And why didn`t you wright "Seldom did Fred meet such an intriguing person"?
You're welcome, Eugene. You may see the Past Perfect stand alone if the other action or time frame has already been mentioned and is still valid. This example would come from a story where Fred has just met a person and this has been mentioned in a previous sentence.
Thanks so much!❤️,I'm Chilean and you help me a lot with your British accent because my school speak USA English so I have some problems with others accents.
Welcome back, you are the best.. I can understand anything with you If you don't mind could you recommend the best ielts prep book or package to use,,, thanks
Sir this is a strange question Because I have just started learning English so please help "(if there is used for inversion in a sentence and it is showing Adverb of place As. There stood my friend.(Inverted form) If this same sentence is added to a subordinate clause, will it become dummy there? are there any such rules in english As. .......Which there stood my friend.)) Will there be a dummy subject here? Please reply 🙂🙂
The correct relative pronoun is 'where' not 'which there'. I'm not absolutely sure, but I can imagine that in a literary piece, you may see an inversion: He ran to the spot where stood several tall trees.
Tomorrow I have a test at english and this help me to understand the inversions. Thank you so much and go on with this, because you do a great job. Thumbs up!!!!(I am 7 grade)
GREAT JOB I have a notice considering the conditional clause ( 1) especially the word ( should ), because it is the first type it must be ( shall) .isn't it? .thanks
Thank you, Ahmad. Logically yes; however, 'should' is the modal verb that is used in Conditional 1 sentences to lower the possibility of the 'if' clause: If you should need any help (but I don't think you will), I will be in my office. That's why in the inversion we use 'should'.
Just wonderful. I like the way you explain things...you make things easy to understand. Have no word to admire your teaching style. I am from india and I often watch utube video on english learning to improve my english. My love for this language make me google the new ideas so that i could be more familiar with this language. But the more I watched the video the more i confused. I found it difficult to understand when it comes to word inversion and many other things in advance english grammar, but after watching your videos on that topics things got changed. Now i can use that in my day to day speaking. Thanks a lot Mam...you are simply awesome. Salute you...:) Please correct me if i made any grammatical mistakes writing this short note. I would highly appreciate if you could upload more videos on different topics. Thanks once again. Stay blessed !
Thank you! I'm glad my lessons have been helpful to you. You have written very well. There are a couple of small errors (possibly typos): My love ... make >> makes me.

13:02 Question! I see the inversion sentence included 'had' between No sooner and The taxi stopped. But the original form was "As soon as the taxi stopped" So the inversion sentece had become past pefect?
Hi! Can I ask a question? If the first part of the conditional sentence is passive, how should I invert the sentence? E.g. If scientific statistics were shared to the maximum extent, scientists would be able to speed up their research processes. A. Were scientific statistics shared to the maximum extent, .... B. Were scientific statistics to be shared to the maximum extent, .... Which sentence is correct? Thank you very much.
Both sentences are correct, but as the Active sentence is 'If ... were shared ..' rather than 'If ... were to be shared ..' I would keep the Passive to 'Were .... shared ...'
Hello mam I have a question "There word" is used in Inversion for adverb of place and THERE word is also used for existence as dummy subject . As. There stood a suspicious man . There lived a man in the forest. In both sentences how to decide It is used for existence or inversion of adverb of place. Please reply 🙂
If you can also put 'there' at the end, it's an inversion: There stood a suspicious man. >> A suspicious man stood there. Otherwise, it's a dummy subject: There lived a man in the forest. >> You can't say: A man lived in the forest there. There exist many possibilities. >> You can't say: Many possibilities exist there.
"Little did I work on the weekend" -> Is this full inversion or partial one? "Here comes the bus" -> Is this full inversion or partial one? Can you explain more about the difference between full and partial inversion?
As always it is, very comprehensive lecture regarding inversion. I have a doubt @5:19. I might be wrong. Please correct me if I am. type 2: "Not only was it a long process, but it was also quite complicated". According to parallelism, i know that one should always put the same parts of speech after 'not only' and 'but also'. For example, I have not only done home work but also cleaned my room. She is not only beautiful but also intelligent. As per my understanding, I think that the sentence above mentioned should be written like this: "Not only was it a long process, but it also was quite complicated". I hope Minoo will correct me, if i have wrong understanding here.
Thank you, Faisal. That's an interesting question. Parallelism here clashes with another grammatical rule: word order. The adverb 'also' must come after the verb 'to be'. If we had any other verb, this wouldn't happen. In this case, I would give priority to word order.
Thank you Mino, i appreciate your effort and time putting into teaching of English. if it is not that much trouble, could you please explain that with an example in a sentence. I mean, what do you mean by 'If we had any other verb, this wouldn't happen'.

Dear Minoo, the lesson is very useful and clear (as always). However, as I am not a native speaker, I would like to ask about the pronunciation of "were" (the Past Simple of be). It sounded to me like /weə/ at the beginning of the sentences you read. I know we have to read it /wɜ:/ but maybe I didn't hear it well.
Hello Ivan, You're absolutely right. When I isolate it, I drag it out too much, and it sounds like 'where'. I should have said /wɜː/ not /weə/. My apologies!
Can we use Adverbial "THERE" "Inversion" in subordinate clause in (Inverted sentence used in Subordinate Clause in this below sentence) As :- 1) This is the time when"THERE" was the man. Please help me with explanation. And Q1 ) Is "THERE" word still "adverb of place" in this sentence Help Please

Over the clouds jumped Steven... and over the same clouds... was John kicked / kicked was John
No, only 'was John kicked'.
Hi! Can I ask a question? If the first part of the conditional sentence is passive, how should I invert the sentence?
E.g.
If scientific statistics were shared to the maximum extent, scientists would be able to speed up their research processes.
A. Were scientific statistics shared to the maximum extent, ....
B. Were scientific statistics to be shared to the maximum extent, ....
Which sentence is correct? Thank you very much.
Both sentences are correct, but as the Active sentence is 'If ... were shared ..' rather than 'If ... were to be shared ..' I would keep the Passive to 'Were .... shared ...'

Hello mam
I have a question
"There word" is used in Inversion for adverb of place and THERE word is also used for existence as dummy subject .
As. There stood a suspicious man .
There lived a man in the forest.
In both sentences how to decide
It is used for existence or inversion of adverb of place.
Please reply 🙂
If you can also put 'there' at the end, it's an inversion:
There stood a suspicious man. >> A suspicious man stood there.
Otherwise, it's a dummy subject:
There lived a man in the forest. >> You can't say: A man lived in the forest there.
There exist many possibilities. >> You can't say: Many possibilities exist there.

THANK You again and God Bless Ma'am
I was a lot of confusion but now,I could study each vedio. Thank u so much teacher. You are great teacher.
You're very welcome!
Dear Minoo, the lesson is very useful and clear (as always). However, as I am not a native speaker, I would like to ask about the pronunciation of "were" (the Past Simple of be). It sounded to me like /weə/ at the beginning of the sentences you read. I know we have to read it /wɜ:/ but maybe I didn't hear it well.
Hello Ivan,
You're absolutely right. When I isolate it, I drag it out too much, and it sounds like 'where'.
I should have said /wɜː/ not /weə/. My apologies!
Can we use Adverbial "THERE" "Inversion" in subordinate clause in
(Inverted sentence used in Subordinate Clause in this below sentence)
As :-
1) This is the time when"THERE" was the man.
Please help me with explanation.
And
Q1 ) Is "THERE" word still "adverb of place" in this sentence
Help Please
