I am from India and I love the way you teach English. This session on punctuation marks will help in my upcoming exams. Thanx a lot ma'am.

I left school, at 13-years. My parents didn't understand the value of a good education. I struggled for years, thinking I was tick as muck. And when i got married and had a family, i was determine to prepared my chrilden for a third level education. The education they received in Ireland, able them the opportunity to find great jobs. I broke the cycle. That I'm also proud of, and my loving parents who without knowing, gave me a valuable lesson.

Having tutored English grammar for 15 years, I am thrilled to discover your channel. The English language is no longer taught in many, if not most, public school in America. As a result, the majority of Americans are functionally illiterate with reading levels below 8th grade with schools and colleges contorting themselves to accommodate instead of confronting and correcting this widespread illiteracy. To further complicate matters, students expect to be allowed to fail and do not have the study skills to learn and develop their intellects. Consequently, Americans graduate high school “on the regular” illiterate. I hope your channel becomes widespread and widely viewed as Americans from small business owners to attorneys to journalists to newscasters wouldn’t know a past participle from a hole in the ground and speak as though they have never been told that adverbs exist. Drilling irregular verbs is apparently also a lost art and “I have ran” is more widespread then we care to believe. Of course, the more ignorant Americans are, the happier are the oligarchs, special interest owners and elite who own and operate this so-called democracy. That a democracy cannot be sustained with an illiterate electorate is only a foreign concept to the illiterate electorate.

They have known since the 1970s, since studying moon rock, that the Earth is hitting a 12,000 year cycle of severe solar events. It was the same timeframe that alteration in academic studies began. Foreign Languages, History, Government, Advanced Algebra, Chemistry, Physics, English and Literature began their exit from high school Curriculum. In the past 30 years, I have seen in the workplace, the damage this has done. No longer is the brain challenged, no longer are young adults able to memorize, absorb, large amounts of information to complete a job, work out formularies or other complicated tasks. I taught thru the 1980s, even at college level. These young adults could not formulate complex sentences much less incorporate them in a paragraph to answer essay exams. It is appalling how ignorant they are today. They want high paying jobs but are unwilling to do the work necessary to achieve those objectives. We as a nation are backsliding. Our Departments of Education have been behind a lot of the reasons why. From the Federal, to State Depts. of Education, and local School Boards, important curriculum subjects have been slashed to hire coaches of every type imaginable, to the detriment of creating intelligent, creative adults cognizant of what’s required to problem solve in today’s world. Government elites planned this well in advance to ensure a nation of adults who do not read anything but the Sports Page in their local newspapers, if they even read those at all. I had no problem when I taught school, demanding quality work. It was either do it or receive a D or F for a grade. Nowadays, all you get in response from them is “whatever.” We are running out of time. Only the extremely intelligent with survival skills will survive what is coming. The Feds were aware a half century ago of what the sun was going to do and set in place actions that will guarantee the demise of 2/3 of our population. One politician in Texas, some 5-6 yrs ago, even suggested we seniors be willing to die to save only the young. I assume he meant anyone over 50 should die by suicide, or be executed. This also included the disabled and mentally challenged. How sad that this world is destined to be destroyed and disappear with only a whimper. We are desperately in need of a renaissance .

Well, since we should and need to be in the business of correcting wrongs, maybe a good place to start would be with the fact that the USA is a Republic and not a democracy, and understanding why there’s a huge difference. I challenge anyone to show the word democracy within any of our 51 Constitutions. Our founders went to great lengths to ensure we’d never be a democracy. It’s been said that in a democracy you have the privilege of voting for your rulers, but in a Republic you have the GOD granted inherent, inalienable, indefeasible, indubitable right to elect your servants. 🙏🇺🇸! ✌🏻

I find it useful when teaching contractions to write the two words on paper, then fold back the letters that can’t be seen when the apostrophe takes their place. We use coloured card and make a display with the examples the students. There are very few exceptions that don’t work this way. They’re also able to fold the contraction back out to see what the two words originally were. It’s a good strategy because it teaches visual, auditory and kinaesthetic learners. I believe all activities should take into account these learning styles - not many female students are auditory learners. To find out a students learning style/s google VAK checklist. It’s good to see a very good, basic grammar lesson as so many people, especially younger adults write, “Your a legend” incorrectly instead of, “You’re a legend”. Folding out the missing letters make this clearer. It’s just one of many strategies I use - it’s very clear.

Your incorrect! It's 'Scored seven, You're a great teacher Jenny, Thanks.'

First of all, thank you for this video. I have some questions/notes on a couple of things you mentioned. 1) regarding apostrophes: when people say that the apostrophe is used "to express possession", it's actually an imprecise statement. The apostrophe is used to show there is a letter missing in the Saxon Genitive, which was an "e" that was never pronounced. The Saxon Genitive ('s) shows possession; the apostrophe shows there is a letter missing. 2) Now we reach the serious subject of the Oxford Comma. *deep sigh of resignation° I was taught that that final "and" in a sequence of three should never be preceded by a comma; the comma would only be placed when the conjunction "and" had the function of introducing a final result at the end of a sentence or at the end of an entire paragraph. In creative writing at times, we use an "em-dash" instead of a comma. I am aware this is probably no longer taught in schools. 3)This leads to the next point, which is placing a comma before coordinate conjunctions. Nowadays, a lot of people do exactly what you said because, in some contexts, this is needed to help regulate the flow of reading a speech; however, this is not always the case. I distinctly remember that in creative writing this was discouraged. In creative writing, you would only do that in direct speech situations where the reading would have to simulate regular expressive speech. 4) You might think about doing another video covering the conventions of using quotation marks in writing direct speech because I find a lot of people don't use this any longer, and it's really difficult to understand what people write at times!

Thanks you so much, SparkleEnglish! You really helped me with using my punctuations properly. May God bless you, ma’am!

But it was interesting to see what I do without thinking, that is, what I may have learned by rote, expressed as a clear set of rules. It's also interesting to note the differences between English punctuation and other languages. French, German, and Russian all have variations on some of these.

You clarified some of my questions! Excellent lesson; thank you!

I have found a semicolon, and a hyphen use to be a bit challenging. English is not my first non-native language, as I have always felt. In fact, it was officially considered as the first foreign one. The reason was that the second official language in my country was not counted as "foreign", although it felt definitely foreign to me. Apart from that, being taught to read and write English must have created a good basis for the adopting the rules covered by this video. Thanks for confirming my belief! But one error in at least in common American use you did not note, and what disturbs me, was the "it's" and "its" distinction. I assume you either have already covered it, or will do so in the future. A former boss of mine once said: "Why did we need to import this alien to correct us in our use of English language?" It was a joke, but I replied: "Well, but you can correct my pronunciation any time!" As indeed anybody could; my education - reading and writing - skipped, or failed the speaking part.

I missed the double error, otherwise I got the rest correct. This is actually a great refresher. Thank you very much for doing these lectures. I was just moved up a little in my company and need to up my grammar game a bit.

OUTSTANDING! I particularly like that you endorse the use of the Oxford comma. It would appear you also prefer a single space after full stops. I am old school in that regard (habitual double spacer). Have you done a video on the use of semicolons as complex list separators?

Hello Jennifer. I'm from Brazil and my English for writing is basic, although I can read well beyond the basics. Therefore, I had a doubt. Currently I study English alone, through videos like yours. I usually pause the video and write the sentence suggested by the author of the video in the way I think is correct. So, before I saw the expression "woman with a good heart" in the correct way you taught, I paused the video and wrote as I thought it would be right and I wrote it like this: good-heart woman and not kind-hearted woman. I put the two sentences in Google Translate (I know the tool has limitations) and the translation was the same. My question is: why can't you write like I thought: good-heart woman? What is wrong with this form of writing? Thanks for your reply and I'm learning a lot from your videos. Thanks"

@crabby7668

Жыл бұрын

Just a quick answer for you. Good - heart woman just isn't a phrase in English. You could use it but it would be considered odd and not nessecarily be understood. Kind-hearted woman means a woman with a kind-heart, which means she is kind and giving, etc. Good-heart woman could theoretically mean the same, , or the woman has a physicality good heart, or something else dependent on how it is interpreted. Everyone knows the first phrase, and no one knows the second. That is why you use the first. I hope this helps a little. Please excuse the punctuation, this keyboard makes it difficult.

Thank you for your video tutorial. I have now started to follow your lessons and explanations. I must admit seeing a video is a lot easier to understand than reading examples that don't clarify learning. With my limited budget KZread is basically my only reliable source for learning without guessing.

Thank You! This is a great refresher mini-course.

I learnt so much from this lesson. Thanks so much.

I have corrected all the mistakes in the eight sentences correctly as they supposed to be written! Appreciate very much your teaching!

Important subjects very well explained; you are a good teacher. A little personal note here: reading properly written languages (emphasis in "properly") will improve this kind of information. Today, a lot of people text messages trumping all over the language and create a trendy way of communication; that not only destroy basic grammars rules, but makes it unintelligible. Naively, I though that this kind of trend only happens in English, but I found that it does in any other language as well. You have to see the monstrosities I have to read in Spanish (my first one). Thanks for your amazing classes; keep them coming amiga. Greetings from Toronto.

I love this kind of teaching, I learned it well

You were born to be a teacher. Thanks.

I’m 88 and left school in 1951 but I specifically remember being taught that ‘and/but’ replace the comma. The Oxford Comma was never taught.

Wow..I needed that quick refresher course.

One of the best video on the topic. Simply awesome . Thanks for such a wonderful stuff. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I have really learnt a lot going through your lessons. Thank you so much

Thanks a lot for teaching the correct way to use the punctuation marks 👏🏼👍.

Thank you for the well-needed refresher.

Thank you. This is a reminder to always practice and apply what we've learned. Punctuation mark completes a sentence. I once reminded someone to use the proper one. Like: "sali ka dito" I asked him if he is asking: "Sali ka dito?" or Having a suggestion: "Sali ka dito." The nice thing was, he never got offended. 😊 sali-join ka-you dito-here

Thanks for these basic rules. Most helpful!!

Thank you! A helpful reminder when I'm practicing my grammar skills.

Thank you very much, this really helps us when studying at an open university
