I’m curious to see the physical piece of paper and how folding it this many times works. Are you using front and back? I’ve played this game online as Gartic Phone but was trying to figure out how it might work on paper to possibly have as a game at a baby shower (with all sentences having to relate to a baby or baby items). I like that the folding keeps everything together, but am having a hard time envisioning how you can fold a regular sized paper this many times and still have enough space to use
@mr.armstrongteaches59452 ай бұрын
The folds are never perfect, but good enough. I usually suggest pre-folding a standard piece of copy paper. If you fold it in half (top to bottom in portrait) then in half two more times, you end up with 8 sections. Sometimes we use the back, but most often we just start and the top and fold one section back at a time. The more times you do it, the more bunched it gets, but it works well enough. Hope that helps.

Thank you for the explanation. There are many examples in books also in articles which I have trouble with. They put examples, like I am going to London for a week. as an adverb then you'll see a different sentence but with the same phrase for a week as a preposition. It is confusing. Would you care to clarify?
@mr.armstrongteaches59452 ай бұрын
It's hard to say without more specific examples, but usually it depend on how the phrase is being used in the sentence and what it is modifying. To make matters more confusing, sometimes the phrase can be more than one thing. It gives the grammar police something to argue about.

Hi! I have some questions. I hope you can answer them. According to my book, in the sentences "I´m (on a diet)" and "I poured the drink (down the sink)" the clause structures are adverbials, but I don't understand why. Thank you :)
@mr.armstrongteaches59453 ай бұрын
Great questions! They are both technically prepositional phrases that are modifying verbs which makes them adverbials. In the first example "on a diet" is modifying the verb "to be" in the contraction "I'm" (I'm = I am). That one is a little confusing because it is related to a state of being instead of an action. It describes "how" the person is "being." The person exists in a state of dieting. The second example is more straightforward. "Down the sink" modifies the verb "poured" answering the question of "where" the verb took place. Hope that helps!

it is always a headache trying to differentiate between phrasal verb and prepositional verb, if you have a tip I would appreciate it a lot.
@mr.armstrongteaches59455 ай бұрын
That's a tricky one. The best tip I can give you is just to remember that with phrasal verbs the object can come before OR after the participle (if it's not a pronoun), but with prepositional verbs, the object always comes after (like a prepositional phrase). But it's more complicated than that. The explanation here is the best one I found: www.thoughtco.com/prepositional-verb-1691667 Good luck! 💫

Thank you for your explanation. I have a question this paragraph is first, second, and if its third which one? “John woke up to the sound of the rain tapping on the window. He knew that today was the day to prove himself on the track, and he had been training diligently for this moment. As he stretched, he could feel the adrenaline coursing through his veins. In the room next door, his coach was nervously pacing, knowing that John's performance would reflect on all of his hard work and guidance”
@mr.armstrongteaches59456 ай бұрын
This is third person omniscient because it knows what 2 different characters are doing. With greater context, it could later be shown that John can see or hear his coach pacing in the room next door. If that were true, it could be limited to John's perspective. But with just this excerpt, it seems like third person omniscient.

@youlose1054 I can't seem to reply directly to your comment right now, so hopefully you'll see this. I think the best way to explain "since" is with a few examples. It deals with time and works like any preposition in a phrase. Ex: We have travelled since my birthday. "since my birthday" is a prepositional phrase. Ex: I've been hungry since Tuesday. "since Tuesday" is a prepositional phrase. Both of those examples are followed by nouns. We use "since" as an adverb when the time of reference is already understood. Ex: We fought. We haven't spoken since. "since" in this instance modifies the verb. To make matters even more confusing, "since" can also be used as a subordinating conjunction: Max failed the test since he didn't study. Hope that helps! Here's a link to a more detailed explanation I like too: dictionary.cambridge.org/us/grammar/british-grammar/since

hello sir, lovely video! I want some advice: I have been writing for years, self-taught! but this has been a big issue. I am writing a fantasy novel with many action and characters, but it is in 3rd person LIMITED. it is difficult for me to move the plot along AND give depth to each character without it dragging on or being redundant. Is there a hack you can please give me so that I can only stick to one character's head AND be able to show their depth and how they impact my plot? Thank you!
@mr.armstrongteaches59457 ай бұрын
Because of the epic quality of most fantasy novels, 3rd person limited presents a challenge. It would be a much easier to write a short fantasy novel that way. Another way a lot of writers choose to employ 3rd person limited in fantasy is to tell the story through multiple characters changing the perspective from chapter to chapter. Is there a reason you have chosen 3rd person limited for this project?

@mr.armstrongteaches59458 ай бұрын
Wow! These ones are tricky and I like them! I think that "up" is functioning as an adverb in both examples. In fact, I think "of milk" is the only prepositional phrase. It's hard to explain why beyond that it just "feels" right, but also if you isolate "up a chair" and "up a gallon", they don't really make sense on their own. "Up" is modifying the verb and adjusting its meaning slightly. I'm sure there is a counter-argument, but that's my take. Thanks for the question!

The first one is an adverb modifying the verb: Take. And I would call the second one a preposition in the prepositional phrase: over a vast empire. If I was an editor though, I would remove the word "over" from the sentence completely. "He rules a vast empire," would be a better sentence.

It's a debatable gray area unfortunately, and it could be argued either way and I'm sure that some scholars would delight in doing so. "Over" could be seen as modifying the verb, thereby making "empire" a direct object, but I would still say it's a prepositional phrase. @@iftekharulislam4364
