I'd like to take the Proficiency....

I have nothing but a great deal of praise for your teaching, Sir! Thank you.

Yes. In fact, these videos were originally created as teaching and review materials for college and middle school grammar classes I teach in the United States. They continue to be used in those courses today.

You're the best grammar teacher ever 💖

you are the best teacher ever

Thank you for this focussed and descriptive use of clauses. I am enlightened!

you must be the best teacher ever

Awesome videos, very helpful.

Thank you for wonderful explanation.

Now I get the pattern of adjective clauses. Adjacent to the noun they modify. I just need to recap to know. Great. Thx. So great. (=

very good thank you it helped my son alot

Awesome Video!!!

thank again . im glad to understand this topic

A Big smile from me!🙂

it's very useful and efficient video! Thx

Wow, he has really nice eyes! =]

I use these videos in my English class and my students like them very much.

I hoped to do some studying...right next to the noun they modify! Great news. From General to specific: no comma. I got this👍🏻♻️

I gave the book to the man THAT was waiting....The man ( that) I saw yesterday. Mr.Skype . Thank you. Pity he is on odyssee.

Keep it up. You're doing a good job. I have a presentation tomorrow that was really helpful. Good luck

Thank you so much, that's help a lot

i think in example my dog Floyd,who loves pizza crusts,eats them under the table Where he chews and drools with great enthusiasm where he chews and drools with great enthusiasm is adverb clause of place rather than adjective clause.

I'm getting back to light. TY yippee.

MANTAP REK :B

Thanks a lot

I LOVE YOU GRAMMAR MAN!!!

❤️❤️

Exampel 2: My dog Floyd, who ... who (instead for which) for animals?? I am confused now...

thank you very much, Sir

VIVATTT!!!

Thank you

I just wondering, why have to place the comma before the word Mr. Floyed? Why don't we write ( My dog Mr. Floyed, who eats too much pizza, has developed pepper-on. What are the different between of them? Could you tell me?

it is simply because it's a non-defining relative clause and if you scrutinize it ,you will notice that the clause"who loves pizza crusts" is just an extra information; they must be set off by a comma..........

please tell us about phrases too

Does the words Mr.Floyd have anytype of non-essential appositive attached to it?

I like his didactics.

DailyGrammer says that Always the pronoun/noun will be immediately proceeded by the relative pronoun (who, whose, whom, which, and that) or a subordinate conjunction (when and where). These are the only words that can be used to introduce an adjective clause Unless used with a preposition which will come between the introductory word and the word it renames

Hi teacher. I really appreciate your efforts. I have just problem to read your hand writing.

do native english people watch these grammar video or is it just us?

Why she cried is still a mystery. What is the main clause in sentence above?

If I have a question to the instructor on this video, is it possible to get a reply immediately?

+Lola Need I Say More Well a year has passed and you didn't get a reply . That answers your question .

This should all be very clear. It is. Pls explain a relative clause when the whole clause is the correlative. Something like : John attends an after school job every Saturday, which gives him some extra pocket-money to spend on his hobbies. I made the example up. Do we need a comma? Yes. ???

Hi Makinen, I'm logged into an alternate account at the moment, not my teaching account here, but to your point: your question comes into better focus when you re-arrange is into PROPER grammatical form. As I taught in the video, the rule in English is that ALL adjectives must be placed either immediately in front (for simple adjectives) or behind (for adjective phrases or clauses) the noun that they modify. If we ask the questions "WHAT gives him some extra pocket-money?", the answer is NOT Saturday, but rather, "job". Therefore, our sentence needs to be re-arranged to allow our adjective clause to be placed immediately adjacent to it, like so: "Every Saturday, John attends an after school job which gives him some extra pocket-money to spend on his hobbies." Now we have the adjective clause properly placed behind the noun it modifies, and the question about the comma comes into focus: it's best to have it--although in this form some style guides would declare it optional. Your original sentence with the misplaced modifier was not terribly misplaced; most people would be able to follow what you really meant and indeed, many people--even native speakers--would speak that way and not notice the error. But WRITTEN English (especially for composition class) has a more stringent grammar standard than everyday, spoken English.

Where he chews n drools . Isn't that an adverb clause ? Under the TABLE does make it an adjective clause, though.

7:53 board is going down :)

Something that is already known /defined doesn't need more info to be specified.

Relative adverb now I got the term for where. I used to know this like NOTHING ON EARTH. A dog -what about it=what dog? that eats too much pizza...... thanks .

there is superman,batman, iron man..you are Grammar man

MrFloyd is already known ; it is just extra information .

should it be "who" or "whom" in this example? the subject is not defined: however, the word "whom" in this case is not the object of a preposition. thanks..

Arggg, I am distracted by this man, I find him quite yummy!! "Distracted by this man" main clause, "I find him quite yummy" subordinate. YAY!!! For future lectures can you not shave or something?

I.e relative clause....

Think it out before writing....

Is he even alive or not
