Hello Ma'am Really useful video :) Could you please give some exercises for phrases and clauses for Grade 7? Would be really helpful..thanks

It seems I am back to school...a highly experienced teacher as can be clearly seen with years of teaching she's embarked upon a pedestal where she's unbeatable. Great respects ma'am. We need educators like you to give a lucid, comprehensible and understandable explanation of such tedious grammar topics

[@TheMindspringsEnglishTeacher]

Thank you so much Rita for this lovely heartfelt comment. If you are a teacher yourself do visit our website www.mindsprings.in for our books and courses.

[@ayubkhan9409]

Impressed by your videos I ordered for some 9 books. I’ve just received them in a bad condition. They’ve not been packed but just handed over to the courier service who has put them in a plastic cover & delivered. The cover was completely torn & the books are torn on the sides. It’s a bad experience. I’ve sent an email regarding this to Mindsprings.

[@TheMindspringsEnglishTeacher]

We are very sorry to hear this. You have absolutely nothing to worry about. Who was the courier? We need to take this up. You will not only get new books as replacement at no extra cost, but you can also keep the ones you have received. Please send us a snapshot of the damaged books for our records, and to show the courier agent. Thank you for your initial purchase. Usha Pandit.

[@ayubkhan9409]

Dear Ma’am My sole purpose was to bring this to your notice & nothing else. I wish these books were delivered in bubble wrapping or carton box instead of just that thin plastic cover. We don’t want the refund or the replacement. Never mind, we are keeping them as they are because the quality of the rich content you’ve given in those books are far dear to us than the physical quality received. Thanks for your response. Courier service: DTDC Regards, Khan

[@ruthdeane3140]

Excellent lesson Usha. Much clearer than anything I’ve read in a textbook. If you have time I would really appreciate a diagram of the full sentence parsed into the different phrases. Many thanks Ruth

[@TheMindspringsEnglishTeacher]

Thanks Ruth. The best way to understand grammar is by keeping it simple. The diagram method is very complicated and expect the learner to know all the parts well. I prefer brackets. PAN - nest of boxes. (preposition, adjective, noun order) This is the structure. You remove Prepositional phrase (P) (beginning with a preposition) and what is left is a noun phrase N (beginning with the determiner and ending with a noun) You remove the noun from the end, and what is left is the adjectival phrase. (A) e.g. (on) the very long and intricately ornate (table). Now you can draw a diagram if you wish.

[@ruthdeane3140]

@@TheMindspringsEnglishTeacher Thank you so much Usha for taking the time to get back to me. I really appreciate that. Yes, I can see your point that diagrams are confusing and I will use your tips and perhaps colour code the different phrases. Kind regards and keep safe. Ruth

[@writetoprithvi]

Thank you Mam . I have two more doubts (from Wren & Martin) please enlighten. I have no time to waste on trifles. Phrase-to waste on trifles Phrase Type(My answer)-Noun Phrase (to waste - Infinitive) But the according to the answer key it is Adjective phrase. I enjoy walking in the fields. Phrase (according to me) - in the fields Phrase type (according to me) - Adverb phrase (of place) The book says that the phrase is - walking in the fields and phrase type - noun phrase I am really grateful to you for making this excellent video.

[@TheMindspringsEnglishTeacher]

Your direct object is (no time) and you will have to ask for what? to get "to waste on trifles" as your answer. Hence time is modified. You have time for other things, but not to waste on trifles. Hence adjectival. It is correct.

It very useful and informative (Noun phrase), in the video a lots to learn about phrase(prepositonal phrase),because of your teaching to know about phrases importance(adverbial phrase). Thanking you for wonderful videos. I hope that i have given comments by phrase except this sentence. Correct me if I wrong.

[@TheMindspringsEnglishTeacher]

In your first sentence the verb 'is' is missing. 'very useful and informative session' is a noun phrase. A noun phrase must have a noun. ' in the video' (prep phrase) again if you want to continue, you need a verb there is a lot to learn - so this is not part of the phrase. You have written an adverbial phrase taking care not use a verb, but the sentence is grammatically incorrect. Because of your teaching is enough to make it adverbial. Use regular sentences from exercises instead of making your own at this stage.

I am bit confused in adverbial phrase, if preposition is used in an adverbial phrase then how to differentiate between adverbial and adjective phrases. Although session was excellent, learnt what I didn't learn in my school life. Need some more sessions in 2022. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@TheMindspringsEnglishTeacher]

A prepositional phrase starts with a preposition. It could tell us more about the noun or about the verb in the sentence. When it describes the noun it is adjectival e.g. The girl {in the pink polka-dotted dress} is my sister. Q: which girl? Or it can be adverbial e.g. The boy ran {in a tearing hurry} toppled the cart. Q: ran how? So the function in the sentence will decide whether the prepositional phrase is adjectival or adverbial. Keep watching. :)
