[@TheInkPitOx]

Thanks a lot. I kept being asked this in high school English but never knew what it meant. The teacher wouldn't tell me anything.

[@JamesSabonjohn]

That’s ur fault. U had 3 years of middle school to learn this

[@TheInkPitOx]

@@JamesSabonjohn I was in a private school for middle school. They didn't focus much on grammar.

[@miryam5250]

You deserve a big like

[@Nooo893]

Really good video. It helped me a lot in understanding this. I have one question: Does this sentence contain a predicate nominatice? "It is my dog." I'm just wondering with that possessive pronoun whether it is or not. I'm learning Italian, and there's grammar rules around this, so I'm clearing up any confusion.

[@Grammar-Monster]

Yes. My dog is a predicate nominative. (It is a noun phrase.)

[@bgponline421]

thank you! this really helped!

@Anoud SMS nothing y i am just jk around

[@thatMikhail]

Do I get it right that in the sentence "What is this?" the predicate nominative is "this" while the subject is "what"?

[@dadoferreira8021]

Good question! I have some sort of insecureness when it comes to separate predicates and subjects in interrogative statements. Specially when it’s combined with question words …

[@adhemwael8025]

Awesome

Serious question...you said that language changes. Does it change or are people using bad grammar?

[@Grammar-Monster]

Ha ha, great question. The answer is both. Bad grammar is usually efficient, and efficiency always trumps dogma. It's why "whom" is on its last legs. It's why "hence," "whence," "wither," and "hither" are dead. To use these properly, you need to understand how they are used grammatically, but the ungrammatical versions also conveyed the meaning so the grammatical versions faded out of use. Sorry if my karma ran over your dogma. (That captures it.) :)

[@byebyeoldusername]

not an expert, and the guy making these videos obv knows a lot more, but from what i know, language is incredibly fluid, and the internet had had a MASSIVE effect on that fluidity, between the fact that new slang words can be created and spread nearky instantly. I hate to sound like an old person, even though i am the exact age this effects the most, but “the words kids use these days” moves so fast, because it can be spread. it’s also been documented how words being slinged together more often by “the youth” can be due to typing slang (im going to-im gonna-ima). part of language fluidity may be that we native speakers get lazy, we start using shorter things and it becomes the norm, but i think it’s also just natural, and it’s a result of humans just constantly changing, a result of human nature if you will. given, this isn’t a new thing caused by the internet. the printing press did the same thing. when, in the states, we dropped our u’s (colour to color). the change of society demands a change in communication. language change is like evolution on hyperdrive

[@NadaSwara1230]

How about "she is HERE". will you answer my question?

[@user-rr5co8nv8h]

Good

[@ARNOLDGARCIA-gd2xj]

'It was I who made this comment' is better than 'It was me who made this comment.'

[@Grammar-Monster]

I see your point, but efficiency trumps dogma, which is why "me" is now acceptable. People say "me" because they've already used a subjective-case pronoun as the subject of their verb. After that, nothing should be in the subjective case. So, there's a good reason to use "me." Of course, "I" is correct, but it feels wrong to have a subjective pronoun after a verb that already has a subject.
