The only KZbin on grammar that don’t make grammar boring

[@thutotukakgomo4358]

I usually get lost regarding non finite and finite verbs I want to understand more about the difference between them

[@ralphlouis2705]

I love your teaching so much..

[@jamesj2762]

Hi, As you mentioned your 3 example for past participle " The music made the cat excited = The cat is excited by the music. But the main clause in past tense which is "made" that point the participle meaning. which I think " The music made the cat excited = The cat was excited by the music.

You are absolutely right! I totally missed that. I should write that down on the video description! Thank you so much!

[@shakespearesenglish795]

I should remake the video with all these revisions sometime!

​@@shakespearesenglish795 Also, the link to your blog doesn't work? And do you have any recommendation of a specific book to understand Grammar better, especially via the method of grammatical functions?

[@shakespearesenglish795]

@@inten79 oh sorry I shut by blog down. I didn't have the time to manage it. I don't know what you mean exactly by grammatical functions, but "The Grammar Book" by Diane Larsen-Freeman and Marianne Celce-Murcia is very acclaimed. I recommend the book!

Thank you for your wonderful videos. I have followed other linguistic videos, and this is so clear and condensed. I have a question about "I love working a as CEO" on 2:10: is "working as a CEO" really the complement, why not the object?

[@shakespearesenglish795]

oops! you are absolutely right! I made an error. I meant to say that "working as a CEO" is the object, not the complement! I will write that down on the vido information. Thank you so much for your contribution!

Eated ? My God poor teacher

[@hureinaise]

I was confused abt the difference between gerund and present participle and this video helps me a lot😭 thank youu👍👍

[@notoriouswhitemoth]

'Quasi-sentence' - I thought it was called a clause?

[@shakespearesenglish795]

you are absolutely right! non-finite verbs form clauses. What I wanted to achieve by using the term "Quasi-sentence" is to distinguish cluases whose subjects are hidden because they coincide with the subject of the main clause. Due to my ignorance, I don't know a suitable term, so I made up a term.

[@SHARMASUNILS]

Very nice

[@suhamajeed5209]

at 0:11 shouldn't the past participle of eat be "eaten"?

[@Whyulookingbruh]

Thanks helped me a lot

[@shakespearesenglish795]

no problem!!

[@ralphlouis2705]

I love it when you said you can only use one verb in a sentence.. great....

[@shakespearesenglish795]

thank you so much!

[@angNguyen-of2bv]

I love working as a CEO. Working as a CEO is a noun, right? But you say it is an adjective.

Thank you for the teaching! But I don't understand when you say 'you can only use one verb per sentence' For example, I picked and ate some apples. Help meee!😿
