At 2:02 "We often have to remind him." How "have to" is main verb here? If it is, then what is "remind" in this sentence?

Yes, 'have to' is an ordinary verb, and therefore the main verb in this sentence. 'remind' is the second verb in its base form.

Thank you very much, Luigi, for both compliments! If you're referring to 'great', yes, that's perfectly correct. We should use an adjective (great) rather than an adverb because 'look' in this context is a sense verb, not an action verb.

[@lamorenita8681]

Hi, I need a help, I have a problem with position of adverbs in some more complex sentences like sentences in Present Perfect Continuous or passive voice in Perfect tenses, like for example in the sentence: "It has been proved who was responsible for the murders of the 'Princes in the Tower'" I am not sure if it should be: " It has NEVER been proved..." or " It has been NEVER proved..." ?? The other doubt is if we put an adverb after the main verb if it has no '-ly' ending? Like in the senstence: "He flew DIRECT to New York with no stop-overs." Is it correct? If you or someone could help me it would be nice! And then Thank you for the answer! ;)

[@AngloLinkEnglish]

With tenses with two auxiliaries, you have a choice; however, 'has NEVER been approved' is more common that 'has been NEVER approved'. I don't think it has anything to do with the missing 'ly'. I think it only happens with this adverb (direct). If you use another adverb, it comes in its correct position: I went to work late yesterday. Not 'I went late to work.'

'have to' is not a modal verb. It's an ordinary verb, like 'want' or 'try'. So, you can put your adverb before it unless you want to stress the second verb.

[@AngloLinkEnglish]

Thank you! I'm glad my lessons have been helpful to you. Yes, the neutral position is before the main verb, but if you want to emphasise a specific element, you can put it before that element.

[@kamatchihariharan369]

@@AngloLinkEnglish Thanks for the reply, ma'am. When we place it before a main verb, it will modify the verb alone, won't it?

Maybe so, but the message stays the same. There's no difference other than emphasis between 'I've only seen this movie once.' and 'I've seen this movie only once.'

[@kamatchihariharan369]

@@AngloLinkEnglish But, I heard that using only before different parts of speech can change the whole meaning of a sentence as we stress the word for emphasis when we speak it. E.g. *Only I* saw her in the park. I *only saw* her in the park. I saw *only her* in the park. I saw her *only in the park*. These four sentences don't mean the same, do they?

Hi Nu, how come has to can be a main verb while the word clean is there in the sentence, i like your teaching style by the way and all your lessons are really helpful. Thankyou !!!

[@AngloLinkEnglish]

You're very welcome. 'have to' is not a modal verb; it's the first main verb. Therefore, the adverb should come before it. It would be the same with any other main verb that is followed by a second verb: We both decided to quit. Of course, if you really want to stress the second verb, you can put your adverb before it: We decided to both quit. However, this is not the most common way of structuring the sentence and only works in certain cases.

[@biyonebilu5384]

[@kidsdiseefamilyandgametime1868]

Thanks.Every videos you provided always have the greatest contents.(Is this corrected to use?) I found this sentence in my daughter's notebook to use adverb and teacher checked it's right. "The sun shone bright through the window" Generally "bright" can be adjective or adverb and it 's adverb of manner. In this case we have complement at the end with "through the window". Should we bring adverb before verb like this "The sun brightly shone through the window"? And sometimes it's very hard to choose what adverb or synonym to be used with this situation. (Could we use brightly instead of bright that all both are adverb ?) And in case of short sentence (without complement), Could we either say "The sun shone bright" or "The sun shone brightly" ? :-)

[@AngloLinkEnglish]

'brightly' is correct in all cases, and it can go after or before the verb.
