15:10 I think it's also correct. A company that is launching a new product specializes in tech gadgets.

[@englishspeaking360]

The correct sentence is: "The company that launches a new product specializes in tech gadgets." Here’s why: Use "the" when referring to a specific company already known to the speaker and listener. Since we're talking about a particular company that launches new tech products, "the" is the appropriate choice. If you’re introducing a company for the first time in a general sense, "a company" would also be correct.

[@imransulaimani1515]

You're almost correct. When You Cannot Use "That": Non-Defining Relative Clauses (extra information): My brother, who lives in Canada, is coming to visit. Her car, which is red, broke down yesterday. You must use "who" or "which" in non-defining clauses, not "that."

[@englishspeaking360]

You got all the other sentences right! That's excellent! 🤩🇨🇦 You DO have a partial right answer on that one. The only difference is that you switched the main clause and the relative clause around. As a result, you shifted the focus from John to the girl. In some contexts it might be ok, but in others it might make a big difference in meaning.

[@mhammedmhammed1259]

Teacher, thank you so much for these interesting lessons. Teacher I have two questions: 1)- in the video at 5.11, can we say : the chef from whom I learned the cooking makes delicious food ? 2)- In the sentence (the chef from whom I learned the cooking makes delicious food ), do we have to put commas after the word (chef) and after the word ( cooking) knowing that punctuation plays a big role in understanding ?? Thank you very much.

[@englishspeaking360]

You have some great questions! Yes, you can switch the main clause and extra info around and make a different sentence. However, the focus of the sentence changes. As for commas, we use them when the information they contain is not necessary. In this example, the information is important, so commas shouldn't be used. Thanks for watching! 🤩🇨🇦

[@BRGvlogs]

Please get videos on noun clauses & adverb clauses

[@englishspeaking360]

Thanks for the suggestion! Let me see what I can do. 🤩

[@BRGvlogs]

Thank you for reply

[@englishspeaking360]

My pleasure! Have a wonderful day!

[@lovebarcelona9845]

I have two problems. First, with reletive clause with proposition! I don't know what prepositions must be used and when to use those prepositions! Second When can't we replace which with that? I hope you make a video about them, too. Thank you for your informative video.

[@englishspeaking360]

Those are excellent questions! 1. Using Prepositions in Relative Clauses: When a relative clause involves a preposition, the position of the preposition can change based on formality. For formal usage, the preposition goes before the relative pronoun (e.g., "the person to whom I was speaking"). In informal usage, it often appears at the end (e.g., "the person I was speaking to"). Common prepositions in relative clauses include to, with, for, and about. The choice depends on the verb or phrase used before the clause (e.g., “the person I am thinking of”). 2. When to Use "Which" vs. "That": "That" is typically used in defining (restrictive) relative clauses, where the information is essential to understand the noun (e.g., “The book that I borrowed is great.”). "Which" is preferred in non-defining (non-restrictive) clauses, where the information is additional but not essential (e.g., “The book, which I borrowed, is great.”). Note that in American English, "which" can also sometimes be used in defining clauses, but "that" cannot be used in non-defining ones.

[@anju2627]

Sir, make a video on singular and plural uses of scissors, pants, shorts etc..

[@englishspeaking360]

Good idea! I'll see what I can do.

[@kenlee4749]

Is this example from an online dictionary correct? 'They speak a language akin to French.' It omits 'that is' or 'which is' after the word 'language.' BTW, I enjoy watching your videos a lot!

[@englishspeaking360]

Yes, you can remove "that is" or "which is" in this sentence without changing its meaning. It would simply become: "They speak a language akin to French." In this case, the meaning remains clear, and the sentence sounds more concise. Both "that is" and "which is" function as relative clauses here, but if they're not needed for clarification, omitting them is perfectly acceptable.

[@aspectator3680]

great! Would you carry on with subjunctive mood?

[@englishspeaking360]

Thanks for the suggestion. The subjunctive is not used in English as much as in other languages, but I might make a video about it.

@@englishspeaking360 My new English teacher from Canada who I am a huge fan of is great. 😎👍BTW: Don't you need commas in such sentences?

[@englishspeaking360]

Yes, in this case you would need commas. Commas show that the information they contain is not necessary. In this case: "The man that we saw at the restaurant is a famous actor." there are no commas because the information from the relative clause is necessary. Does that make sense?

Hmmm... I'm not sure what you mean. If you have only a main clause like "Who did Jun meet?" then WHO can’t be omitted. You can only omit WHO when it is not the subject of a relative clause.

❤❤❤👏👏👏👍👍👍 Does that mean we can always use that instead of who or which. Any difference among them🙏🙏🙏

Good question! It's a little technical but here's the explanation. In relative clauses, "that" can sometimes substitute for "who" or "which", but there are rules and subtle differences to keep in mind. 1. Who vs. That "Who" is used when referring to people. Example: She is the teacher who inspired me. "That" can also refer to people in restrictive (defining) clauses, though "who" is more common and preferred in formal English. Example: She is the teacher that inspired me. However, "that" is not typically used in non-restrictive (non-essential) clauses, where additional information is added. Example: My sister, who lives in New York, is visiting. (Correct) My sister, that lives in New York, is visiting. (Incorrect) 2. Which vs. That "Which" is used to refer to animals or things and is common in both restrictive and non-restrictive clauses. Restrictive Example: This is the book which helped me the most. Non-restrictive Example: This book, which I bought last year, is amazing. "That" can replace "which" in restrictive (defining) clauses when referring to things, but not in non-restrictive clauses. Example: This is the book that helped me the most. (Correct) This book, that I bought last year, is amazing. (Incorrect) Summary "Who" is for people; "which" is for things; "that" can replace either in restrictive clauses. "That" is not used in non-restrictive clauses, where "who" and "which" are preferred.
