The perfect English teacher ever i have seen on the internet. You are super!

[@wagnerotto3217]

Very interesting approach!

[@ankurseth6739]

Adverbial present participle phrases do exist. We can create them by reducing active voice adverb clauses of time, reason and contrast. Clause: As he didn't want to disturb her, he left the room quickly. Phrase: Not wanting to disturb her, he left the room quickly.

[@Winterrain-dc3su]

Thank you sir. It worked for me .

[@drigpalsingh52]

thankyou so much

[@makhmud4529]

Thank you for the excellent made video on the nominative absolute. I wonder whether it is possible to use the perfect participle as an absolute phrase modifier. For instance, "Lucy and me were together and we were not able to enter my home yesterday evening, Mary having hide the key"

[@MrSkypelessons]

What an excellent question. If you are interested in joining my course in which we thoroughly examine absolute nominatives (and many other types of phrase), and in which I answer ALL questions within 24 hours, then you need to purchase my MASTER ENGLISH LANGUAGE course on Udemy (£13.99).

Thanks. Try my courses for more information and practice

[@simonsmith1985]

What a great a lesson! It seems to me that you can always put a WITH in front of an absolute phrase. of course, this would turn the absolute phrase into a prepositional phrase. Am I correct?

[@najatarabia741]

Is there a difference between British and American in terms of grammar?

[@thangduongtrong5729]

what you say is syntactic role of absolute phrase. this is easy. tell me about semantic relation between the absolute phrase and the main clause

[@obpico6346]

Yes sir

[@luckysachin5233]

sir, please tell me ,can we use different subject of the main clause from absolute phrase? for ex: my friend being upset,i decided to crack a joke to make him laugh.please do reply sir.

[@user-ls3lf1ln6b]

It is very similar to the participle clause, for me, when you describe only one thing: smiling gently, the girl came up to me. Meanwhile, in the topic with nominative absolute phrases, the main difference is the following: you have two subjects in both parts. Which means you have it in the main clause, and in the subordinate clause. But, if you look attentively at both subjects, you will see they are all about the same person.

[@thangduongtrong5729]

pls, thank you

[@TM-yd2kt]

Even a pronoun can be its head word sometimes. Look at the sentence below: He accompanied by his servants, it was seen that all villagers welcomed them cheerfully.

Could you please make a video on idioms ? Thanks in advance 🙂

[@MrSkypelessons]

KZbin is a search engine, like Google. Please, please, please use the KZbin Search Bar to see if I have already made several videos on idioms. It is much quicker than asking me if I have a video about idioms.

[@hilariouslystyle202]

I have confusion in appositive phrases ,nominative absolute ,like all these please also figure of speech & transformation of complex sentences

[@shehzadaftab100]

Sir, you say that participle phrases always work as adjective, and never work adverbially. As English is not my first language, I’m quite confused when I try to understand the meaning of the following sentences: Being overpowered (= because he was overpowered), he surrendered. Delivering a speech (= when he was delivering a speech), he had a heart attack. The rain came pouring down in torrents (pouring, present participle, modifying came, a verb). If my understanding is right, then it means they are working adverbially. If not, then what do they mean? Is deducing such meaning wrong? Do these phrases show simultaneity of action of the subject (delivering a speech and having a heath attack)? or what? Looking forward to your guidance. Regards.

[@MrSkypelessons]

Participle phrases have an adverbial component. You can find out more in the section in my book that deals with precisely this question

Can I call this an absolute phrase: Students involved, The chairman of the school called everyone for a meeting.

[@asokdatta1424]

Sir, Please check this sentence to ensure whether it is a participle used in an adverbial sense. Given (if given) proper facilities, they would definitely prosper in life.

[@satyakumaritimothy3107]

'Absolute ' literally means 'untied',that is freed or unrestricted.Is that why there is no conjunction to join with the Principal Clause?

[@rd467]

what the teacher wanted to say for that website for absolute phrases? he was saying it is aimed at American teenagers. Someone can help me please to reach that website. TIA!

Hi, This is an extract fron Mrs Dolloway by Virginia Woolf He was not old, or set, or dried in the least. As for caring what they said of him - the Dalloways, the Whitbreads, and their set, he cared not a straw - not a straw (though it was true he would have, some time or other, to see whether Richard couldn’t help him to some job). Striding, staring, he glared at the statue of the Duke of Cambridge. He had been sent down from Oxford - true. He had been a Socialist, in some sense a failure - true. Still the future of civilisation lies, he thought, in the hands of young men like that; of young men such as he was, thirty years ago; with their love of abstract principles; GETTING BOOKS SENT OUT TO THEM ALL THE WAY FROM LONDON TO A PEAK IN THE HIMALAYAS; READING SCIENCE; READING PHİLOSOPHY.The future lies in the hands of young men like that, he thought. My question is about the part which I made bigger. ARE THEY PARTICIPLES OR SOMETHING? THEY DO NOT LOOK LIKE PARTICIPLES OR ABSOLUTE PHRASES TO ME, Could you explain if you have the time ?

what type of phrase is absolute phrase?

[@MrSkypelessons]

It's a noun phrase acting adverbially on the main clause.
