Phrases part 2 (participial, gerund and infinitive phrases)

[@swapnajitroyclassXI]

I helped me a lot sir!!!!! U are really great...🙏 U are an excellent teacher!

[@wallflips]

Thank you mr. GrammarMan! Your videos not only inspired me but also helped me a lot with an AI project, where I have to build grammar in a software engine for the AI to understand and so far it works flawlessly, your knowledge and way of teaching is precious, thank you!

[@dwikuncoro2453]

You've explained everything eloquently. Thank you for presenting everything constructively. I can take some of this teaching to get my pupils to understand this lesson better.

[@mariamkinen8036]

The native view on grammar is challenging. Not so difficult when we already know the terms n function in a sentence. Thx. This makes perfect sense. I know the grammar like nothing . I used to be called ' a walking grammar'

[@mariamkinen8036]

If I study a topic , I connect it in such a way that I do not need to repeat the same thing over n over again.... it is called association with the previous knowledge . The different forms of usage make sense. Now, it is clear.

[@mariamkinen8036]

A mrs.something summed up the verbals so well , too. She made good points to discern verbs from the verbals Auxiliaries. Love this.

[@Vincent-wo8fd]

I'm studying for an ATI TEAS test for acceptance into a Health program and your videos are helping me grasp the complexities of grammar better than the study guides. Thank you very much for taking the time to create these videos!

[@jaquelinemanuel5716]

You're a good teacher. You explained your subject clearly. Thank you!

[@tomyalkethiri4218]

Thanks MR GRAMMARMAN ♥ We love you , keep on ♥

[@zakfireblast2731]

I really appreciate you making the this video. I was out of school for a week due to a concussion and I missed the entire unit on this. You have taught me better in 15 minutes than my teacher did in 4 days.

[@mariamkinen8036]

Rayfireblast yes , exactly!

[@mariamkinen8036]

If I were on spot an English -speaking country, I'd okay in a minute. You are such fun to listen to with your " given to me gift " -style. We can'T miss the point . TY.💡☀️💜❣️💭

[@mariamkinen8036]

I wrote these down. I understood this well. My notes are well written but scattered all over my notebook. Great stuff.i had straight A's

[@jennawoods3705]

In the sentence "Don't waste time talking about it", in my opinion the phrase 'talking about it' has the hidden preposition 'by', and the whole prepositional phrase modifies the verb 'waste', rather than the noun 'time, because it answers the question 'Waste time how--by doing what?'

[@darbs5058]

you're the reason i understand my english class

[@mariamkinen8036]

This needs writing down . So incredibly great.

[@mariamkinen8036]

Very good! All in a nutshell . Thx

[@karenc7039]

Impressive lecture

[@arelilopezz]

Good explaining keep on with the videos searching for more

[@GAFINN2011NJ]

Since this video series is all about diagraming sentences, it would be extremely helpful if you would diagram these complex examples.

[@mariamkinen8036]

I get the inserted prep phrase as how much /worn to the bone. Needs notes. Great . Thanks . Really my thing!

[@anilpandey6392]

Thanks sir , its beneficial to me to understand functions of participles in different cases which I often wondered about .

[@alphacentauri2134]

Sir, I like the way you present the lesson!

[@abungonungcbakhumalcha2789]

I want to know what kind of sentence are they simple or other

[@mariamkinen8036]

This is about the usage more than anything. The grammar is not a problem. TY.

[@adrii_dess]

THANKS! I was really struggling to understand the subject!!!

[@hamdanjenaibi9550]

now i survived my test,thanks to you!!! :)

[@hamzaaboumaachar504]

awesome u r almost clos to Jhon travolta

[@JonathanStrangeJ]

Great Video, you could really go far. I would reccomend getting a profile picture saying you have nearly 4000 subsribers.

[@motherof3pearls]

Very good, but how would you diagram these kinds of sentences?

[@mariamkinen8036]

This is merely about how to use the grammar right. It can't be so hard . I knew all of this. Repetition does no harm.

[@didi.breezy]

This has helped me a lot! Thank you.

[@renogrinder7085]

Hi, sorry for unrelated kind of question, but when we have to-inf clause starting the sentence(To laugh at others is easy) and than we use prep. It and move the inf-cl to the end(It is easy to laugh at others) what is the clause's function? Easy is subject compl, but what is with the inf-cl? Subject is it.I've been trying to find answer but none of the explanations really explain what happens to it when it is moved.Thank you very much!

[@phumkiatwananuraksakul7815]

Hello.Where do you live?I just found this vdo and can answer your long-time question.To laugh at others is easy.To laugh at others here is infinitive phase acting or functioning as subject because infinitive with to can act as noun;it can be a subject.On the other hand,to laugh at others as in it is easy to laugh at others acting otr functioning as adjective complement because of following of eash being adjective as predicate adjective modifying or descriping the sbuject of it.I hope you find my answer clearly.I am Thais .Have you ever been to Thailand before?

[@KatieAbroad]

Yes, but how do you diagram these phrases? :)

[@mariamkinen8036]

This, i can follow with ease. Can't brag about the cords.

[@bonbonpony]

06:20 Then why can't we just say "The house ruined by fire collapsed"? What is the reason of pulling that participial phrase to the front? Also I don't quite get it how is "talking about it" modifying "time". Could you explain this thing a bit more, please? 07:01 Don't let the "-ing" ending fool you. They have different origin in participles than in gerunds.

[@md_ez]

I have a question , please.

[@complexequation807]

Great Video, thanks Can a gerund take an article (a/an/the)? Can I say ,For example, "a learning a new language seems to be harder than I thought." Best

[@alexthai2456]

verb can become adjective..............that confused me a lot in English.............also.......verbs with ing in present participle and adjective, how do we recognize which is which???

[@matthewmaciel6215]

love this guy

[@mayankchand7078]

really helpful

[@adamlaceky8127]

An infinitive does not need to have "to" in front of it. She had us read the book. "read" is in the infinitive form. "To" is just a marker. It is not part of the infinitive. That's why it's perfectly cromulent to "split" an infinitive. Some sentences require the marker; some don't.

[@mariamkinen8036]

Grew tired/ tire. ? Possible as ergative. ? I get this. It was running that.... linking

[@alyaaching9403]

thank you!

[@sundante71]

well, i got it now. Thanks Sir! :D

[@BHAUMIK-z4o]

Sir,where you are

[@ClearerThanMud]

Great stuff -- thanks. "Don't waste time talking about it." Does "talking about it" really modify "time"? That doesn't seem right. There is an implicit preposition "by" here, and "by talking about it" modifies "waste," describing HOW the waste occurs, doesn't it?

[@RavenGameZone]

Thank you so much!

[@TheJourneyV]

Thank you!

[@mariamkinen8036]

[@ayeshakhan-wh3ny]

hi, mR GrAMMARMAN123, your video is useful for us, your spoken is so fast, kindly do low your speed of speaking, u r speaking fast, and new learner has difficulty to understand you.

[@mariamkinen8036]

To raise money . Adverb answering the purpose why.

[@larrybarnett9249]

Don't waste time talking about it.Can restate sentence as don't waste time by talking about it.I therefore believe " talking about it" is a gerund phrase modifying the verb don't waste. 😢 is a gerund phrase acting as an adverbial

[@eliannyespinosa273]

Examples: Reading is a favorite activity of mine. I don’t want to study for my test.
