Thanks a lot for the very good explanation of grammar structures, thus giving us opportunity to improve the usage of English as the second language. By the way, there are different schools of teaching English grammar with the different terminology and depth of analysing phrases and clauses. 🙂🌻
You're welcome! When I did my first degree in linguistics (many many years ago), I studied at a Canadian university and we drew more syntactic grammar trees than I care to remember. A decade later, I was at a conference chatting to some fellow teacher trainers in the UK. I remember how confused they were when I mentioned grammar trees. I had always assumed they were a common starting point for anyone studying linguistics, but no! Like you say, there are lots of different approaches.
Good explanation. I am now able to understand these phrases well. I can now differentiate them which is a noun phrase or verb, prepositional , adverb or adjective phrase.
I think 99 percent of English native speakers don't know what a noun or verb phrase is or even have ever heard about it and still they can speak English fluently. I will see how this kind of knowledge is going to help me speak better English.😊
I completely agree with you. Honestly, I feel that minor mistakes are quite natural. It's when those 'minor mistakes' end up affecting the meaning or causing confusion that they have to be addressed. Using a variety of sentence structures is more about creating your own style of writing and making it more interesting, and therefore more engaging for the reader.
@@TheOnlineEnglishTeacher-Anisa Yes I have been studying English since 2003 ( I took English classes back in my native Lithuania in 2003 for one year ) mainly on my own. I am good at reading and can get by in writing, well I am not talking about professional articles or books writing I mean the writing which meets my needs. I am not bad at speaking trying to brush it up as much as I can and even living in English speaking country I don't have many opportunities to speak to somebody in English and I am still struggling sometimes to express my thoughts, finding proper words and having doubts about the pronunciation of some words. English I would say it's not easy even If one tries to learn it on a daily basis.
Wow! I commend you for continuing your studies and not giving up. So many people believe the claims that you can 'become fluent in 30 days'. It's definitely possible to learn enough to survive on holiday for a few days, but I've never met anyone who achieved 'full fluency' in so short a time. Fun fact: my dog's mum came from Lithuania (both the human mum and the canine mum).
I definitely love comparisons when I am trying to learn new things myself. It makes it easier for me. Adjective: A simple explanation is good. Adverb: I like a well explained grammar point. I like teachers who explain things well.
You're welcome! Some of the collocations you use tend to be noun+noun patterns, so you naturally create noun phrases. The next video in this series is going to level this up even more, to be extremely impressive in an IELTS essay. The key thing to remember is that not all the sentences should be equally long and complex. Giving the reader a break by throwing in some shorter, more simple sentences adds to the rhythm and flow of the text.
The noun "period" (or "full stop" in British English) has several definitions. One of them is "a point used to show the end of a sentence or an abbreviation."
It's funny that I said "full stop" for years, but changed to "period" in my late teens. Normally North American English is more transparent in terms of meaning (traffic circle, sidewalk, waste paper basket, etc.), but in this case, I feel the Brits have coined an appropriate term. What do you normally say? Or, does it depend on whether you're talking about punctuation versus the end of an argument?
Thank you! I really appreciate it. Feel free to ask any questions you have. I'm trying to create a supportive community where people can learn for free and help each other improve.
you have provided great study materials, I need to watch this video 5 times to get into it. one request🙏 i have been working on tenses + voice conditionals Reported speech i have been reading about them since long time, referred different materials but i am unable to make them of mine. i wish i could use them in my conversation smartly . Please suggest me, what i should do ? any way out for that! any tricks and tips for effective practice with Regards
Hi, I didn't notice this message, so I apologise for the delayed response. Your question is interesting because it covers a range of different levels. For instance, 'tenses' can mean the easy present simple at A1 level or the more difficult past perfect continuous at B2 level. The best 'tricks' are not really 'tricks' but common sense. There are different theories of language learning. I personally believe you have to be exposed to as much language as possible (songs, podcasts, TV series, articles, books, etc), but don’t worry about understanding 100%. That is obviously going to be impossible if you are not an advanced student. When you study the rules in order to produce a language (writing or speaking), make sure you have a firm foundation. So, go back to the beginning and review the basics. When you're reviewing the past simple, make sure to focus on irregular verbs and phrasal verbs. Then when you've done present simple and past simple, start with passive voice of just those tenses. Targeted practise on one grammar point at a time will be the most useful. Answer lots of questions using that one form before you progress to the next. Imagine you are studying the first conditional. Step 1) The structure: If + subject + present verb, subject + [will/may/might/can/should/have to/must] + base verb. Step 2) The use: for very likely or possible situations Step 3) Practise, Practise, Practise: If you see your neighbour tomorrow morning, what will you say to them? If it rains tonight, will you go out or stay at home? If Anisa’s dog is naughty, should she punish it? If your friend calls to invite you to a party, will you accept or decline it? If you want to book annual leave from work, who must you notify? Etc. The best advice is to keep watching my videos, of course!
Mmm home of delicious food and wine! I had an Argentinian roommate for a few weeks. Then my Mexican friends laughed at me because I picked up the "shh" pronunciation 😆
In a sentence like, "He has been doing this work for a year", he - subject, 'has been doing - verb phrase, this work - noun phrase, for a year - prepositional phrase. Am I right? Or, is it that the entire part "...has been doing this work for a year" is considered verb phrase? I think perhaps you said so, or I understood so. Could it be clarified?
Hi, I hope you are doing well. May I ask you when pronouncing "clock, conquer" we pull our back of the tongue back when saying first k, do you do the same on the second k sound? Thank you very much. Have a great day.
Hi! It's great that you are paying so much attention to the position of your tongue when speaking. That it the key to mastering intelligible pronunciation. If you just make a single /k/ sound, the back of the tongue raises up to touch the top of the back of the mouth Chris kicked Ken. If you make an /l/ sound, the front of the tongue raises up to touch the top of the front part of the mouth. Laura loves Len. The tongue has to quickly rise up at back to make /k/ then glide from the back position to the front position to produce the /l/ 'clock' Clare cleaned clogs.
I am Thai,and teach English in Thailand just like your ways,so can we connect with each other to be a partner or I need to be your quest interviewing me on your channel. What do you think about it?
I love connecting with other teachers. Feel free to send me an email (anisa@theonlineenglishteacher.co.uk) or connect on LinkedIn (www.linkedin.com/in/anisadaud/)
Thanks for your generosity of giving me your contact email,and I will send you an email to talk more in details to see if we could be a partner to teach English on RUclips or TikTok together to boost your chanel for Thais in Thailand.
Thank you for your interest in a course. I'm glad you like my style of teaching. I do teach private students, but you can learn well by following my free videos on RUclips and asking questions when you don't understand something. I believe good English tuition should be accessible to everyone.
Ahhh! 😖 I noticed that after I had posted it and wondered whether anyone would pick up on it! I always tell my students to review their work and I should practise what I preach!
I'd love to be able to edit a few mistakes on this. My computer was out of commission and rather than delaying the post, I thought I could finish editing and upload it from my phone. Big mistake! As far as I know, you can't edit a video after you've published it. Please let me know how if I'm mistaken 🙏

Yeah, these are, I think, studied as part of syntactical analysis.
Never had I seen such an amazing teacher in my life..Thank you!

Thank you!! praying for you that you will be continually a channel of blessing for many people !!
