I am a new graduated mechanical engineer and I look everything in a sight of engineering while learning how to write an essay. Because I know if one wants to do something perfectly, he or she has to dive into it completely and look all the minute detail inside.

[@johnoirie]

Thank you so much for these invaluable lessons. Keep the videos coming, much appreciated.

[@gulzarchynalieva]

I don't understand too much because is not my level but I have learned one new rule no comma after that! Thanks Adam for your lessons 👍

[@mariamkinen8036]

I know all the points better than well, but not all about the comma. I love this work. Again, very good.

[@kelleyannbart8348]

This video is really informative and helpful. I have learnt important information on the correct use of "that" and "which" in commas. Thank you.

[@lucianorimonato9054]

Looking foward to the third part S2 thanks

[@mariamkinen8036]

This is very good work. I'm getting the point . Something that we don't learn at school as for its specific nature. English English .

[@mariamkinen8036]

It is obvious that the comma goes with the phrase , instead of that. Much appreciated . As a prep instead can be separated with comma . Not as a conjunction followed by S+V. A clause. Thanks .

[@sandeepparda]

Eagerly waiting for the third part.

[@Ab-ih3cl]

Very good - you use more realistic challenging sentences than others.

[@mariamkinen8036]

I'm enlightened. TY it can get pretty tough to discern n think like you, though. I learnt a lot.

[@evgeniym3215]

Hey Adam, we are all waiting for the third part! Thank you in advance

[@wei-rungtseng883]

This video is of great help. Thank you kindly. I am still looking forward to the third video on the usage of comma and more videos on punctuation.🙏

[@dharmakisku8224]

Each second of your video is meaningful..absolutely helpful.thank u...Adam.

[@littlesarasdiary.5380]

So important ,helped me a lot to prepare for LLN Test.thank you

[@ashishwayanad3214]

your classes are interesting and most informative

[@mlprasad79]

I don't think 3 rd part is released. Anyways, bottom line is if the phrase or clause is essential, no comma; if it's non essential, comma; if any interpting information, use comma. It is really helpful. Thank you for such an amazing video.

[@MYfriendsknow]

THANK YOU. THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO I FOUND ON THIS SUBJECT. Is this correct understanding??? comma that , that ? used with unnecessary info interrupting the sentence. Juanita , that girl over there , is actually my former roommate. Also, no comma that when / no comma used with the word that when THAT specifically gives info directly about the noun or verb. Example: Sally said that she was going to buy a new dress.

[@overwatchpadawan1954]

are we going to have part 3 of the comma usage videos?

[@camellyya]

Thank you so much my professor Mr.Adam.

Hi Adam! Thank you for the tutorial. Please do upload the third part.

[@AnaHernandez-gz7hv]

The comma is great, but why are you soo cute?? Did I use the comma correctly?🤣

[@mariamkinen8036]

I'm in a much clearer state to understand this. Be back . 👍🏻

[@saimaahsan6387]

Thanks Adam for all your wonderful lessons. Could you help us in ways to develop paragraphs. Thanks a lot.

[@appiah9694]

very insightful

[@jhoannamariedemesa168]

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. Marissa went to the party, though she would see her former lovers. 2. I stay positive in the course of global health crises, despite the lack of support from the government.

This, is, a, really, good, video.

[@kenji_mobilelegends]

11:08 Can we replace (,) with 'then' I'm in a bit of confusion whether i should use then, along with if or not?

[@dileepa1901]

Thank you very much Adam ...

[@mohammadaminparchami7462]

The bottom sentence at 12:30: "Whether it is a treaty member or not, any country that wants to give a speech at the annual open house, may submit..." I can't understand why there is a comma before "may". Is it just for easier reading?

[@techyjohn3386]

A great explaination on comma sir. Have you made part 3 of use of comma? You told in the video that you will be making it soon. I can't find it anywhere. Eagerly looking for this part 3.

[@jennyli4856]

I love it

[@Islam_makes_Peaceful_soul]

I get across one point. Conditional or if also can usible , for example: if he, who did this, comes, call me up. Or if he comes, who did this, call me up. What do you think, which one is correct. Thanks a lot!!

[@humbertoborges3105]

Thanks for your lessons, Adam. Could you talk about the use of comma with connectors, such as "besides", "also", "hence", "in addition" etc, on your next video about this subject? You talked about "so", "yet" and "for" on the first video, but I don't know if the rule is the same to these other connectors. Thank you!

[@asaadalsaadi8238]

You're awesome Thanks for the lessons.

[@japhetanciado7999]

thanks a lot. im a slow learner but ill eventually understand

[@vitaliibalandin3877]

Hello, I'm interested in it, can an author omit commas in this case, "Fitzgerald's debut novel This Side of Paradise is not widely known."?

[@uwinmyint6849]

I sometimes notice commas are used before such conjunctions as when, because, although, etc., especially in novels. When and why is a comma inserted before such conjunctions?

[@jemarbailey3916]

I think thats because these words are examples of Subordinating Conjunctions that usually begin Adverb clauses which are dependent clauses.

[@mariamkinen8036]

The interruption is an entity of its own despite that clause. I get it. The participles i struggle with.

[@TM-yd2kt]

The separation of noun clauses in a sentence becomes quite a tricky if it is a part of a larger sentence.

[@hadialmayahy8627]

Awesome video thank you so much .

[@Altafhussain-pl4qr]

Any country (which or that) wants to give a speech at the annual open house, whether its is treaty member or not, may submit a request no later than six months in advance. question is could i use which instead of that?

[@RafaelNascimentovevo]

Thanks Adam. How can i exercise my writing everyday? I'm a terrible writer, even in my native language 😞

[@finestmahakumara6898]

Hi Adam. I've just subscribed to your channel. In your sentence (Whether it is a treaty member or not, any country that wants to give a speech at the annual open house, may submit a request............ ) could you tell me the purpose of the second comma in that sentence. Many thanks.

[@10xupindia]

@adam, do you train people for PTE?

[@rakeshkumarmadella7955]

Thank u sir😚👏🏆

[@TM-yd2kt]

Sir, why have you put comma in the following sentence mentioned in the list of your examples: Whether it is a treaty member or not, any country that wants to give a speech at the annual open house(,) may submit a request...

[@tahirali3467]

Hi sir, I am one of the subscribers to your channel. Would you please write to me about the difference between conjunctive adverbs, conjuncts and subordinate conjunctions? I am totally confused in these areas .

Be back in a minute. Essential= relative that -clause no comma. That never a comma . Which always .ok. I got it. Takes some more time to really work it out.

[@tonyyeung5276]

This is confusing, you are saying essential to use a comma. The man who lives next door is a doctor. shouldnt there be a comma?

[@Ninashalawa]

At 3:34 are you saying that we better use that with essential clauses and which with non-essential?! You kinda lost me there Adam. I believed both can proceed essential and non essential clauses

[@providencedavid]

Fyi: You used “to” when the correct usage was “too”

[@Mmm.5255]

I really like most of your presentations, but this one is just wrong. Valuable info. Poor structure. You want us to follow your narrative instead of showing clear problem-solution sequence. If your target is native English audience then it's all right. For non-natives this kind of explanation sounds at least boring and unclear. Too many unnecessary details that make us, foreign learners, lost in translation. I mean why or why would I need another academic-like lesson when there are tons of grammar books with much better structure? I think the whole point of a visual lesson is to share data that otherwise is hard to digest. What you've done here seems more like memorising a grammar book lesson and presenting it in video format.
