    Thank you a lot for such an advanced grammar lesson Mr.Adam.
    I always thought that my English is good, but after watching this video I’ve found out how much more I got to improve. I’ll keep it up, rewatch this video, and move to the next parts straight after mastering this one.
    Thank you again!

    2. Secondly, the lack of essential nutrients in fast food increases abnormal cell mutations, which can lead to cancer.

  • @williamoverly1617
    @williamoverly1617 4 года назад

    Commas are critical to clarification in comprehension. The classic example: "Count out one thousand two hundred and seventy. " (Count out 1,270- or count out 1,200---and then 70 separately.) The comma before "and" makes a significant difference. Technical writers especially are notorious for failing to use commas when clarifying meaning.

    May I respectfully ask if the use of commas in the following sentences is correct? I know that we only use comma when the subordinating conjunction begins a sentence; whereas, no comma is applied when the SC is used in the middle of a sentence. But I was told by some professors that sometimes this rule is not applicable, especially for parenthetical elements.
    1. The physical opening of schools will depend on the risk severity, pursuant to guidelines of the Department of Health.
    2. The Secretary is authorizing the holding of Saturday classes, through the conduct of. . .
    3. The learning intervention shall formally open in August, while the program duration…
    4. Marissa went to the party, though she would see her former lovers.
    5. The students decide to play computer games, when they can use their free time meaningfully.
    6. I stay positive in the course of global health crises, despite the lack of support from the government.
    Thank you very much, Sir, for sharing your knowledge.

    Example: Annie comes back down, seeing a light on.

"In the past, schools encouraged boys to pursue engineering and they encouraged girls to pursue the arts" - I still can use a comma here, can't I? Or because of it being a compound I can't? Then why we used a comma in "...they must be native born, and they must speak all the country's official languages..."?

    I'm not expecting an answer as this is 2 years old already, but your first example is confusing me. There's a big difference in 'A,B, and C' and 'A, B and C'. In the first one you're naming 3 groups, in the second B and C belong together, and can't be seperated. Or should you use or in that case?
