I have always liked the way he explains. He´s an adorable teacher. Greetings from Colombia.

Hi Sir. Your class really helped me. If possible please provide a pdf with questions ranging from easy to difficult level. It really helps us to have a strong foundation over basics sir.

[@nuriaherreramarcos5999]

Thanks a lot for this video. I was confused about this particular point of grammar since I had seen the structure without possesive even in English people's wrtings. Now I see how it works.

[@ImperioTeixeira]

thank you so much I appreciate your class it was very good. I haven't realized until now that I'd use ( 's ) plus ing form of a verb. Now I hope I can be able to use this correctly.

Say which of the underlined items can be replaced by the genitive variant: 1- The police caught Wilson climbing the wall. 2- I dont approve of you climbing cliffs. 3- Do you mind me opening the window? 4- Dont let me find you opening this door again. Someone help me please

your classes are very good, thanks !!

[@puneetsingh3383]

Your lesson is great, but I've not seen possessive gerunds' being used in formal academic english even. Is it that modern English writing style has changed or something? Thanks

[@engvidAlex]

Not at all. It's not something you're going to see all over the place, but it is something that exists and does show up in academic texts, news reports, etc.

[@puneetsingh3383]

@@engvidAlex Thank you very for taking time, I've gone over many essays and cambridge english text, for examples, global warming can result in people leading an uncomfortable lives, shouldn't it be people's leading an uncomfortable lives. Please comment

[@nadezhdab._alisasurname8732]

Hello! Thank you for the video! By the way, have you got anything about the post-possessives?

[@engvidAlex]

I've never heard of those, and google doesn't show me anything for that term either. What are post possessives?

[@nadezhdab._alisasurname8732]

Hello! Thanks for your quick response! I've found that and would like to watch a video explanation: engramm.su/grammar/double_possessive , but there's no anything similar on the internet)))

[@MuhammadEgypt]

Added to favorites, thanks!

[@pinkkk.universe]

Thank you so much🙏I'm watching your videos from Iran

[@MuhammadEgypt]

One should be excused then, Alex, because I more often than not get to hear such wrong structure from English native speakers. But I'm not sure whether it's an American or British thing, any idea?

[@NiranjanKumar-vc3fc]

Very good teaching, sir !

[@KarimLaaiadiVlogs]

May Allah bless you teacher , Thanks for the very powerfull online lessons :)

[@urkyzjusubalikyzy6562]

Алекс спасибо вам большое за ваш урок.👍👍👍👍

[@Radeo]

How would one then explain the difference between: "Thank you for your help." And "Thank you for your helping."

[@engvidAlex]

Thanks for your help is much more common. “Help” is a noun so it’s easy to put it after a possessive adjective (your.) “Helping” is technically okay grammatically, but it’s not common at all. Stick to “Thank you for your help” in this case if your goal is common usage.

[@jaindharmmotivationalvideo7570]

Thanks a lot...no words speechless thanks a lot

[@jeffnelson2028]

Hi, Alex, just a quick clarification: it’s not the gerunds that are possessive but rather the adjectives (my, your, his, her, its, our, their).

[@SmartArbic]

Thanks...I appreciate your smart lessons

What is "promoted" in mary's being promoted

[@engvidAlex]

Are you asking what it means, or what part of speech it is? It's a past participle. It means to be offered a higher position/job in a company.

[@ShahidHussain-nw9vb]

Got it. Yes, i wanna know the part of speech.

Thank you teacher

[@liliinha11]

why have you used '' your coming here'' instead of using ' yours'? can you please explain me

[@thomasbentley7239]

yours is the pronoun... this is your dog (ppssesive adjective)... this dog is yours (pronoun).. in this case you need to use the possesive adjective as it is placed before the noun

[@laurawolfe154]

Also, "Can you explain it TO me?" Someone would have to know you very, very well in order to explain you :)

[@MdHossain-xn7nk]

I am little bit confuse about this sentence ''I am tired of Miguel's complaining.'' I think if I use ''of'' then no need to use 's of Miguel, Anyway it is very helpful for students, thanks

[@lrlizribeiro]

Most of these just don't sound right to me. For example, it would seem more accurate if you rewrote the sentences like this: - I appreciate your coming TO here ("I appreciate you coming here " still sounds more accurate to me, because I still see "coming' as a verb, not a noun, but the way I rewrote it would be more "acceptable" to me). - He resents Mary's promotion; or "he resents the fact that Mary was promoted". ("Being" "promoted" still look live verbs to me). - I'm tired of Miguel's complaints. - I need to talk to you about your writing (Perfect, cause, in this case, I really can see "writing" as a noun). - Her dancing is beautiful (Perfect, same as the last one). I know that the way the professor taught in the video is the right way, but I still struggle to make sense of it in some cases.
