Absolutely remarkable way of teaching. I am literally overwhelmed by your intriguing way forward teaching. Being a teacher, I would be deeply honoured if you recommend any authentic English grammar book which should essentially enable me in gleaning commanding grasp on English grammar. Looking forward to having your valuable guidance in this regard.

[@JeanietheEnglishTeacher]

I'm glad you are benefitting from my videos! I would recommend the grammar texts by Betty Azar, published by Pearson. There are three books in the series, for beginning, intermediate, and advanced levels: Basic English Grammar, Fundamentals of English Grammar, and Understanding and Using English Grammar. I hope that helps!

@@JeanietheEnglishTeacher ....As per your recommendation,I have started practising grammar topics from Betty Azar books but the prepositions topic is not covered in any of those books...Could you please suggest any good books for prepositions?Prepositions topic is very difficult for me

[@JeanietheEnglishTeacher]

@@theprince9035 Actually, prepositions ARE in the Azar books. In "Basic English Grammar," prepositions of time and location are addressed in Chapters 1, 2, and 3, and there may be more. I remember phrasal verbs being at the end of a number of chapters in "Fundamentals of English Grammar." Those are important uses of prepositions, so if you haven't practiced those yet in the Azar books, I recommend you do so. I don't have any book that is specifically about prepositions that I can recommend. Prepositions are difficult, and it's important not to try to translate from another language when learning them because they operate so differently in different languages. It requires a good bit of memorization, lots of input (reading, listening), and lots of practice.

[@fwwryh7862]

So are these prepositional phrases or an adverbial phrases?

[@JeanietheEnglishTeacher]

They can be both at the same time. If a prepositional phrase functions like an adverb (such as describing time or manner), then that prepositional phrase is a type of adverbial phrase.

I have a question , please.

[@JeanietheEnglishTeacher]

When you are speaking, it is polite to say, "I have a question." When you are writing, do not do that. It is more work for the person who is responding to have to respond to you more than once. In writing, ask the question directly, the first time.

Hello ma'mm, i love your teaching way . i believe you are right person to reply of my queries. example - Miss Gold lost her job. She, therefore, had no money. I confuse to understand such type pattern in complex/compound sentences .words or phrases put starting or last and separate by commas in complex and compound sentences. could you help me to understand the same.

[@JeanietheEnglishTeacher]

Hi Amit - I'm afraid I'm having trouble understanding your question. In the example you gave, there are no compound or complex sentences. There are two simple sentences, and the second simple sentence has a transition word (therefore) that connects the two ideas. Transition words always need to be set off from the rest of the sentence by commas. I hope that helps.

[@amitgupta696]

@@JeanietheEnglishTeacher hello Ma'mm this is Amit once again from India. I want to understand the pattern like. Words and phrases keep separate by comma befor to sentence. Example all afternoon, he lay on the sofa thinking about life. I want to understand the role of " all afternoon". . Actually i am not able to understand the pattern of such type phrase .

[@JeanietheEnglishTeacher]

@@amitgupta696 When you have information before the subject of a sentence (usually an adverbial phrase), you usually place a comma after the adverbial phrase. So, find the subject of your sentence and then see if there is information before the subject that should be set off with a comma.

good

[@JeanietheEnglishTeacher]

Thanks!

[@theprince9035]

Please clarify my doubt... I will watch the movie next Sunday.... In this sentence 1)what is the part of speech of "next"? 2)Is "next Sunday" a noun phrase/adjective phrase/preposition phrase/adverbial phrase I have same doubt with the phrase "last Sunday"

[@JeanietheEnglishTeacher]

"Next" is an adverb here, and "next Sunday" is an adverbial phrase of time. The same is true for "last" and "last Sunday." These add time information to the clause, which is one of the functions of an adverbial phrase.

[@sufiaamir2348]

Function of adverbial. When How Where How much How long Something happened

Madam, I have a doubt, that is; what is the difference between "Compare with" and "Compare to" ? Please try to tell me about it. I hope you will try to reply as soon as possible. I will be looking forward to your reply.

[@JeanietheEnglishTeacher]

In modern American English, there is not much difference, but 'compared to' is more common than 'compared with.' There is a nice explanation with examples here: grammarist.com/usage/compared-to-or-compared-with/

[@JeanietheEnglishTeacher]

Both of your examples are adverbial phrases, which are often also called reduced adverbial clauses. They are not full adverbial clauses because they do not have a subject and verb. I hope that helps.
