    What is the difference between Subject + got+ pp and S + be+ pp? when can be used S + got +pp example e.g They got promoted to higher positions in the company due to their outstanding performance.". another example e.g They got invaded in the Opium Wars." The peaceful village got invaded by marauders last night." "Our computer systems got invaded by a sophisticated malware attack."

    This video being awesome, I've watched it several times. I would think this lesson needs some follow-ups because of its importance. For instance, at 7:54, you taught absolute phrases, which need more in-depth analysis and scrutiny, or reduced adjective clauses, adverb clauses, and noun clauses as well as other ways to add variety to our sentences in written English.

  • @oxfordenglishnow

    2 жыл бұрын

    Hi Arira, so the example I gave was, "After visiting/ having visited several shops, we returned to the hotel." The meaning here is very similar for both tenses. A perfect participle clause emphasises that the action they describe was finished before the action in the main clause, whereas the present participle is used here because it enables us to say information in a more economical way. The writer has a choice which tense to use. I hope that helps!

    Hi , I wanna thank you for this wonderful video This is , perhaps, the only informative video about participle clauses. I have a question, can we use these clauses in Speaking , like: "Transport burns most of the world's petroleum, creating air pollution" Does this sentence sound natural in speaking part 3 in IELTS? Please kindly answer my question if you have free time Thanks so much

    Hello madam, thank you for your incredible explanation about the participles. But I have a question, does that mean present participles sound like active voice while past participles take passive voice forms? In other way, if I wan to use relative clauses or relative pronouns in place of participles, can I use past participle in place of passive relative clauses and present participle instead of active relative clauses?

    Please correct me if I'm wrong. Hi teacher, I am confused. Is the comma in the first sentence (We lay on the beach, gazing up at the sky.) a typo? I don't think a comma is necessary here. Coz I was taught like > E.g. She met her friend walking down the street. I listen to the radio driving to work.

  • @oxfordenglishnow

    Hi Yu, for different clauses in a sentence you need a comma. There is no typo here, "We lay on the beach, gazing up at the sky," is correct. With your 2 sentences, She met her friend watching down the street. Do you mean, walking down the street? if this is the case it is not a separate clause but part of the main one and likewise with I listen to the radio driving to work. You need a comma if it is a separate clause.
