Thank you, I will watch it 10 more times. Have you done a video, on when to join two words together? For example newspaper.

What about follow-up? Is this considered compound?

Hi. It would be very helpful if you would make a lesson to explain how to use the word" though" and "as well" at the final of a sentence. Thanks in advance.

This channel is so underrated.

This channel; is- so underrated.

After 25 years of my life, i learnt these rules. Thankyou so much! :)

This is one of the best English channel on Utube. ❤️ Happy Mother's Day .

I had watched a lot of punctuation videos. Yours I found easer to take in, and they have helpled me a great deal to deal with them. I have presaved all your punctuation videos to brush upon my knowledge in case i forget anything. Thank you for your amazing explanation.❤

Hi, my name is Rachel and I really like watching your videos they have helped me so much with my punctuation. Thank you

You are so welcome!

Informative 👍

These tutorials have greatly benefited me in teaching grammar.

I am so glad i found this channel

Thanks! It works. Could you create a video about when to add an -s and -es in the present indefinite tense?

great video, will help me in my matriculation examination

Holy molly, I enjoyed the video. You need to have more subscribers.

This was crystal-clear delivery on an important topic ;) I need to see if you have one on the semi-colon use.

This video is invaluable for each and every writer on earth. I have a question: could you make a separate video regarding en-dashes and em-dashes! Best regards from Ukraine! Keep it up, Jennifer!

Love your style of teaching. Make it so much easier for me

I feel so grateful for your channel. The content is clear and concise.

All of them, largely because of your concise explanations earlier. Great new channel.

You are an OG! Take a bow! Thank You!

This topic was great. I work harder and I got 7 out of 8. That was pretty good, but I need to improve writing my own sentences using hyphens.

You are a great teacher and your videos are very helpful. Thank you very much.

Wow! I learned something new today! Your lessons about punctuation are really my favorite to watch. Btw, I didn’t know about the teenager being written as teen-ager back then;it’s interesting.

Thank you, Jennifer, all your videos are always pretty useful. I took English classes back when I was in school, but over time I feel like I've forgotten some of the language rules and nuances. Could you please make a video on how to use dashes?

Thank you for your focus on these topics, Ms. Jennifer!

You explain so clearly! Thank you!

I got 8/8. You're a great teacher!

You are an excellent teacher! I have watched all the videos on punctuation and feel so confident about the rules. Thank you!

I really like the way you structure your videos. Clear and concise. I type an outline of your video as I watch it, and the way you structure things makes it really easy to type the outline. Then at the end I type out the practice and have my outline to look at. Thank you for doing these videos. There are too many people who don't know basic rules of grammar and punctuation. We need this, if only we can get the ones who do need it to watch. :-) For the people asking for a video about dashes. Aren't hyphens dashes? I'm confused.

I have learnt many new rules that I have never learn...Thank You Sparkle English 3/10/21 4:12PM

Great video, thank you. Please answer my question: If I am creating a word in a heading or title setting where the first part needs to be capitalized-i.e. Carb-trol, or Carb-tain-does the second conjoining word (trol, and tain) need to be capitalized as well, or lowercased? I would assume capitalized, correct? It just looks funny. Thank you so much!

Hi Thanks for the amazing video u such a great teacher Can u download the video about rest of hyphenated worda And can u make a video about all tenses Thanks again ❤❤❤ 8/8

Excellent video! I have two doubts: 1. In the case of placing well-known after the subject; i.e, “She is well known” we are not talking about an adjective compound, are we? (Same applies to good-looking man -> the man is good looking. 2. Breathtaking is a compound word and functioning as an adjective but it is not hyphenated. Why? Thank you soo much for your input! Great channel!
