    I am an English teacher in Peru and I have discovered that the primary reason that students are not becoming conversational is because the language institutes are not teaching them how to write; only how to pass grammar exams.
    More and more my focus is becoming how it is that I can begin to introduce effective writing techniques into the curriculum. I've watched a number of videos on sentence structure and if I had to make a recommendation on the best video to watch, I'd say go to "Writing is Painless."
    I never thought that I could get so excited about something that is so important in impacting the lives of students. Teaching them to write effectively is so fundamentally important to their future, it boggles the imagination. What a tremendous opportunity we have as teachers.
    Thanks a bunch for your videos.
    Phil

      Thank you sir,
      Your students are very lucky to have you as their teacher. You can make a big difference in people life. I always remember my chemistry teacher and appreciated him. I did say thank you to him until 22 years later while I was doing an electorcardiogram on him to check out his heart rhythm. I told him because of him that I am able to work in the hospital.

    Thank you so much. I am 40 years old and I have a hard time learning to write.I will watch all of these videos in hoping to become a better writer. My whole life has been a struggled when comes to writing. As you might see what I have written above, I’m sure there is some sentence structure error.
    I really need to learn how to write properly since I did not learned or taught properly in elementary or high school.
    I hope I can teach my daughter in grade 2 to write from what I learned so she does not have to go through what I gone through.
    A MI DA PHAT (best wishes),
    Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

    Not even a complex-compound sentence is that hard with the prepositional structure . To be honest , there are some details that we need to be aware of. Our language consists of prefixes n suffixes that are by far harder than. I'll end up with the fragment. I need the commas right as part of the structure . 🙏👍🏻 I ' m almost there . I have learnt so much. Highly appreciate .

    Meaning to ask - in the (1) "Susie sings." (2) "She writes." example, does reorienting these as (3) "Susie sings and writes." (4) "Susie sings and she writes." represent (3) and/or (4) being compound sentences, despite omitting punctuation or conjunction as connectors in either?
    [I realize this is a completely different element of writing than discussing Sentence Structure, per se - but I have on occasion found it useful to employ one of all four of those sentence iterations, depending on the desired function for the sentence. I can't seem to locate a link to your blog - does it cover this sort of matter related to writing?]

    I've been on Maria's channel on the basics. I wish I got the acronym lists to learn. Can we use prepositional forms like in fact, n why is that? Is it included because it is inevitable to become a conjunctive adverb. Maria F's .You are great, thx.
