5 English Grammar Rules you Must Learn Before you Die (or after)

[@xmadnav]

My wife used to misinterpret "Don't have to" to "Mustn't" every time I was trying to be considerate; this lesson helped me save my marriage. Thank you.

[@LetThemTalkTV]

Glad I helped save your marriage!

[@Tony32]

Maybe you should move to the US or Canada, we never use "Mustn't" lol

[@--curiosity--]

@@Tony32 and what about "must"? Do you use "must" or prefer "have to"?

[@Tony32]

@@--curiosity-- "have to" is used most often, "I have to call my parents" "I must call my parents" sounds a bit dramatic.

[@--curiosity--]

@@Tony32 thanks

[@soniamayrink3295]

One thing I like in your methodology is that you are never "glued" to a blackboard ....I think this is excellente because you kind of " force" us to listen to you attentively, reading your lips, and we have the subtitles to study afterwards , listening to you. You are a genious.

[@sannibabukandala6933]

Very important points for teachers and students. Thank you.

[@sefutho]

Me too and three.

[@rajenranv7936]

What makes it efficacious is that we learn the native texture of the language from the native speakers. In some instances, non-native speakers commit the prepositional errors, because of vernacular impact and they certainly get clarified when attending to your classes. More significantly, there is a double advantage in this programme, as we are truly enabled to gain the contents and to understand the manner of articulation by the native speakers. Great thanks to Great Teacher. So nice of you Sir.(Ravi)

[@LetThemTalkTV]

Many thanks

Very clear lessons. Much appreciated! Working hard to offer English lessons and content for my students online, as many are now quarantined. I appreciate your style and hard work!

[@qwertasdfg8828]

I like your lessons very much, Gideon. I'd like to suggest some sentence patterns for your students or pupils here: S - IV (Subject - Intransitive Verb) e.g. Dogs run. S - TV - DO (Subject - Transitive Verb - Direct Object) e.g. Chris tutors Jennifer. S - TV - 10 - DO (Subject - Transitive Verb - Indirect Object Direct Object) e.g. The instructor assigned Steve poetry. S - LV - PN (Subject - Linking Verb - Predicate Noun) e.g. She was the office manager. S - LV - Adj. (Subject - Linking Verb - Predicate Adjective) e.g. Roses smell delightful. S - TV - DO - OC (Subject - Transitive Verb - Direct Object Object Complement) e.g. Joan considered Will her friend. S - TV - DO - AC (Subject - Transitive Verb - Direct Object Adjective Complement) e.g. Mr. Anderson painted the house green.

[@AnnaMariaThor]

What's interesting if it comes to "whom", non-native speakers in whose mother tongues grammar cases exist tend to use "whom" correctly more often than native speakers not really used to grammar cases.

[@xandergross8474]

As a teenager I learnt by heart Hamlet’s most famous monologue. As a boy I didn’t understand it alll, now I know what it’s like to suffer the insolence of office, and much more. You gave great advice! If it ain’t fun, it won’t stick! However, I’m a bit sceptical to the ultimate as well as the penultimate method presented.

Dear Gideon, I have translated a poetry and I have a question If I can leave there the line: "Raining washing them clear" (which is not grammatically correct) in order to express the necessary atmosphere, or it sounds bad just as a grammatical mistake???? Thank you very much for your advice. Now my summer is gone Like it hasn't been at all! Life is perfect indeed But it's not all I need! Аll I wished coming true fitted right to my hand as a five-fingered leaf but it's not all I need. Nothing good either evil was in vain in my life! All had been burning bright, But yet I've missed a kind... Life was safegarding me Holding under its wing. I was lucky indeed, But It's not all I need! Leaves and branches of trees- Raining washing them clear like my feelings and mind: All I need's - you were mine! It's so simple indeed... You are all that I need!

[@svenjahnsen3381]

Dear Gideon You mix up the terms "question" and "indirectr question" and the terms "relative pronoun" and "indirect interrogative pronoun". An interrogative sentence is i.e. "Who is she?" and an indirect interrogative sentence could be "I want to know who he is". (Notice the question mark in the first example). A relative clause could be "I know a fellow w h o i s g o o d a t G e r m a n".
