Why did you consider Time as a noun first,then as a pre-modifier second ?!

At 1:51 it should be *after the noun it modifies* in Post-modifiers, there's a writing error I guess so.

Your videos are good :) thanks for sharing your knowledge. At 3:06 "My, your, his, her, their, our" These are possessive adjectives not possessive pronouns. Possessive pronouns are "Mine, ours, yours, his, hers, its, theirs".

It might be a typing mistake. Thank you for the kind words. 🌸

I thought these are personal pronouns, what do you think about it?

[@qiumilk3334]

hi, I wonder know when a ed participle as a post-modifier, e.g. the building bulit last year is a good one. Is "built" an adjective? And if I use the ed participle as an post-modifier, is it necessary for that as a adj? Or it is all ok? Thanks you!

[@EnglishWithAshish]

Yes. It's an adjective. Participles can come before and after a noun to modify it. • I don't want to drink in a (broken) glass. • The glass (broken) last night was very expensive.

[@qiumilk3334]

@@EnglishWithAshish Thanks so much. one more question. I found dictionry that built is not an adj, or it act as an adj in the sentence? and are all the ed-participle could act as an adj? I am confused especially the post-modifier, i alway think there should be a "be" verb; like the building was built that is a good one. If it becoms "the building built last year is a good". Is it omitting the "be"?

[@EnglishWithAshish]

It's a reduced adjective clause. Look at the following two sentences: • The building (that was built last year) was amazing. • The building (built last year) was amazing. Anything that gives information, that modifies a noun is basically an adjective. When a participle modifies a noun, it works the same way; it also works as an adjective. Hope you understand this!
