Hi Minoo, It amazed me how you can explain the lesson down to the last details in under 20 minutes and your explanations are so concise & clear. Grammar lessons can be boring to watch but I never feel bored watching your lessons. You’ve inspired me to follow in your footsteps and I love your accent too. Thanks so much Minoo. You’re amazing!!!

Hi Minoo, I know this lesson has been on KZbin for a few years now but I’m so thankful to have come across it by chance. I love love the way you describe relative pronouns and how to use them.

I'm a 68-year-old American native English speaker. Thank you for this comprehensive discussion! I consider the use of "that" to often be a mark of laziness and less correctness. It drives me crazy to hear people saying "person that" instead of "person who". But I hear this from popular radio hosts all the time. Sadly, it appears that "who" as a relative pronoun is dying.

[@AngloLinkEnglish]

You're welcome! Yes, 'who' is a lot more elegant, so it's a shame that 'that' is replacing it.

In the sentence: "The library where we met is the largest in the city." Should I write "where we met" between commas?

[@AngloLinkEnglish]

If you put it in commas, then you must have mentioned which library in a previous sentence. If this is the first time you mention it, then 'where we met' becomes a defining clause and must not be in commas.

I am sorry, but the incorrect way of using who and whom is not about modern English and spoken English, it is rather simply about people who do not know which word goes where.
