Excellent lesson Usha. Much clearer than anything I’ve read in a textbook. If you have time I would really appreciate a diagram of the full sentence parsed into the different phrases. Many thanks Ruth

@TheMindspringsEnglishTeacher

Thanks Ruth. The best way to understand grammar is by keeping it simple. The diagram method is very complicated and expect the learner to know all the parts well. I prefer brackets. PAN - nest of boxes. (preposition, adjective, noun order) This is the structure. You remove Prepositional phrase (P) (beginning with a preposition) and what is left is a noun phrase N (beginning with the determiner and ending with a noun) You remove the noun from the end, and what is left is the adjectival phrase. (A) e.g. (on) the very long and intricately ornate (table). Now you can draw a diagram if you wish.

It very useful and informative (Noun phrase), in the video a lots to learn about phrase(prepositonal phrase),because of your teaching to know about phrases importance(adverbial phrase). Thanking you for wonderful videos. I hope that i have given comments by phrase except this sentence. Correct me if I wrong.

@TheMindspringsEnglishTeacher

4 жыл бұрын

In your first sentence the verb 'is' is missing. 'very useful and informative session' is a noun phrase. A noun phrase must have a noun. ' in the video' (prep phrase) again if you want to continue, you need a verb there is a lot to learn - so this is not part of the phrase. You have written an adverbial phrase taking care not use a verb, but the sentence is grammatically incorrect. Because of your teaching is enough to make it adverbial. Use regular sentences from exercises instead of making your own at this stage.

Very useful lesson Madam. I have a doubt regarding the term 'adverb phrase.' In the examples given on the board, many of the 'adverb phrases' are prepositional phrases and others begin with subordinating conjunctions. I do understand that these phrases 'function' as adverbs. I notice in my classes that many get confused because of the terms used: They wonder how a 'prepositional phrase' can also be an 'adverb phrase.' Therefore, I wonder if a different term 'adverbial' would be less confusing for learners. Using the term 'adverbial' (something that behaves like an adverb) might also help to highlight the 'form-function' distinction a little better. Thus a learner might appreciate how prepositional phrases like 'on arrival' and 'at Ram's gate' answer the questions 'when' or 'where' and thus behave or function as adverbs although structurally they are prepositional phrases.

@TheMindspringsEnglishTeacher

3 жыл бұрын

The thing is prepositional phrases do not function as prepositions at all but as either adverbial modifying the verb/adjective/adverb; or as adjectival modifying the noun. That is why you are a bit confused. You have actually nailed it in your final sentence when you say: "they behave or function as adverbs, though they are structurally prepositional". Remember in grammar, function is all. It is the same problem we have with gerunds and adjectival participles (-ing words) where again, clearly new labels have not helped. In fact, gerunds and participles too have adverbial and adjectival functions. So, there is no escaping function.

You are a great teacher and a wonderful woman...

Thank you Mam . I have two more doubts (from Wren & Martin) please enlighten. I have no time to waste on trifles. Phrase-to waste on trifles Phrase Type(My answer)-Noun Phrase (to waste - Infinitive) But the according to the answer key it is Adjective phrase. I enjoy walking in the fields. Phrase (according to me) - in the fields Phrase type (according to me) - Adverb phrase (of place) The book says that the phrase is - walking in the fields and phrase type - noun phrase I am really grateful to you for making this excellent video.

@TheMindspringsEnglishTeacher

3 жыл бұрын

Your direct object is (no time) and you will have to ask for what? to get "to waste on trifles" as your answer. Hence time is modified. You have time for other things, but not to waste on trifles. Hence adjectival. It is correct.

I am bit confused in adverbial phrase, if preposition is used in an adverbial phrase then how to differentiate between adverbial and adjective phrases. Although session was excellent, learnt what I didn't learn in my school life. Need some more sessions in 2022. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

@TheMindspringsEnglishTeacher

A prepositional phrase starts with a preposition. It could tell us more about the noun or about the verb in the sentence. When it describes the noun it is adjectival e.g. The girl {in the pink polka-dotted dress} is my sister. Q: which girl? Or it can be adverbial e.g. The boy ran {in a tearing hurry} toppled the cart. Q: ran how? So the function in the sentence will decide whether the prepositional phrase is adjectival or adverbial. Keep watching. :)

an adjectival phrase will describe a noun. a prepositional phrase will show you the relationship between 2 nouns. e.g. The man with an anger towards dogs (with an anger etc. is adjectival and tells us about the man.) the house near the long red phone booth (near the long red phone booth is prepositional) It shows the relationship between the house and the booth in terms of space.

@TheMindspringsEnglishTeacher

If you ask what to the verb you will always get a noun/noun phrase/clause. To get an adverb you must ask the verb when, where, why, how, although what, if what? Not what? So ask the right question to the verb. To get an adjective you cannot ask the verb anything, you must ask the noun who or which or what kind?
