Just now, I translated a sentence from Portuguese where I applied your latest video related to "between" and "among"; so your tip about between several elements unrelated to space really helped me to decide in using "between" and not "among".

Super observation, Andrea! I filmed that explanation a few times, and I had to go with the one that came out smoothly, but it wasn't exactly the best wording. I like yours! We can use BETWEEN with three or more separate things or people, but those separate things or people can have relations or connections. For example, talks or negotiations are like a web, where different exchanges are made, connecting one individual to another: Talks between Russia, China, and the U.S. I listed those common phrases to help us identify when "between" might be a preferred word choice.

"They," "them" and "their" are often used as if they were singular when we don't know if the person is male (he/him/his) or female (she/her/hers) or we don't want to look sexist by choosing either male or female.

Hi Jason. Yes, I agree that's yet one more reason we use those third person plural forms. Growing up, I remember using "his" or "he" a lot. Do you know the opening sequence to Star Trek? It used to be "To boldly go where no man has gone before." I grew up hearing that. It's only in college that I began to learn about gender neutral language. Star Trek creators eventually rewrote that tagline: "To boldly go where no one has gone before." In formal writing, I'd likely match "his or her" to "everyone," or I'd just avoid it and find alternative wording. :)

Hello,Jennifer,good morning.would you mind clarifying my doubt? O have recently come across a sentence like this__they have climbed over the wall without being seen.I know the structure is in passive voice.But why cannot we change the first part like this"the wall has been climbed over by them without being seen.why only the second part was changed.This is the doubt I have.Please clarify my doubt.Is there anything that stop us from changing the first part.I look forward to your answer.P Siva Rao,India.

@Englishwithjennifer

6 жыл бұрын

If you switch to passive and the subject becomes the wall, then that has to be the clear reference word in the second half. To be clear, you might write: The wall has been climbed over by them without anyone seeing them. However, this variation is still awkward. I prefer the active verb: have climbed.

I spotted the double negative straight away. When the students take time to think about that example, they will see it simply doesn't make sense. It is impossible to tell or not to tell something to nobody. One cannot ask someone to tell nobody something because it is not possible. Don't tell anyone. Do not tell anybody anything. Nobody must know about this. There is nobody left who doesn't already know. Semi-colons: I noticed you used serial commas where I would use semi-colons. The order of today's activities is as follows; reading practice with Jennifer; computer study with Ray; and cross country with Tom. Using another area where semi-colons are used, I suppose I could say: Jennifer uses serial commas in a list; Ray uses semi-colons.

Thank you, Jennifer.It was a good lesson by the way. Yes, they are blocks of information within a sentence opposed to a list of items within a sentence. A colon would be used if it were just one activity or thing: Ray's lesson today: Contractions Or Possessive Adjectives. There are of course more uses for semi-colons: I live in Lancashire; England. You teach; I learn. We also find m dashes replacing semi-colons. I would personally use dashes to show a sharp contrast in statements: I am going out - No, I have changed my mind. It's too hot - It's too cold. I will go through your punctuation playlist for more tips, Jennifer.

@Englishwithjennifer

Hi. That's a different structure. The use of a prepositional phrase for location at the front of the sentence allows inversion of the subject and verb. The true subject is indeed "the Andaman Sea and Myanmar." I'd recognize it as a compound subject and use a plural verb: are. However, this wording is already formal and sounds academic. Formal grammar is best in this context.

Hi. You're right. If we name a specific point or period of time in the past, we often choose the simple past. However, if you state the period is from that point until now, then the present perfect can be used: 1. I started reading the book three days ago. I'm on chapter four. 2. I've been reading the book nonstop for three days. I can't put it down! Compare: 3. I'm reading a book right now. It's really interesting. I just started it three days ago, but I'll finish it soon.
