Sir...I love your videos...I am from sri lanka...I am still learning english..I am a beginner level....sir...can you please tell me...I didn't do it willingly or I wasn't happy to did it or I wasn't happy to done it...which one is correct...and Are there any native phrases to tell that idea...please help me sir...I am a buddhist monk...
I didn't do it willingly is correct, the others are not. I wasn't happy to do it or I wasn't happy to have done it would be better. • If you would like to have further practice and testing of the topics covered within the Splendid English grammar video series, come on over to the regular support sessions provided by English trainers at www.englishtrainers.org/english-grammar-support Thanks for watching.
Why can't I say, I like James Bond, Mary Poppins and My parents.
The Oxford comma is usually used before the final and in a list to avoid ambiguity of meaning. Some people like it, some don’t. It would be unusual to use a a capital letter for the word ‘my’ in that part of the sentence (typo)?
Thanks so much for uploading this lesson. I really appreciate it! Keep up the good job and have a good week!
Respected sir, being undisputedly the greatest grammarian of all time across the globe, you are earnestly entreated with folded hands to solve the following "Proper Forms of Verbs 'issue that has baffled so many grammarians and teachers so far -Question -It ------(rain) since morning.I------(wear) a raincoat while going to school.Sir,my probable answers are -has been raining/will be wearing/shall be wearing/must be wearing/shall wear/must wear.Sir, do please guide me in right direction.
An informative video on relative clauses
Respected sir, being the greatest grammarian of all time across the globe, you are earnestly entreated with folded hands to enlighten me a bit as to whether the following answers are grammatically correct or they need some modification-Question-He is a pleader.I have rented his house.(Join with a Relative Pronoun).My answers are -(A)He whose house i have rented is a pleader (B)He is pleader whose house i have rented (C) The man whose house i have rented is a pleader.Sir, which of the above answers do you think would be the most appropriate one? Apart from this,is there any better alternative from your side?
The letter too small to read!!!!!
Please if i say "" i wish i had never met you "" if i want to answer by using only "" either"" or "" neither "" why if i answer "" me either "" it is wrong ?? The main verb "" i wish " is not negative so according to me ,me either is correct !! Thank you in advance for your answer , have a happy day !!
You are not responding to 'I wish', you are agreeing with the negative statement 'I had never met you'. You are saying 'I wish I had never met you either' But in the short form tag answer, you can only use 'neither' because it is negative - me neither. This is the reason I am making a separate video to look at either - neither/either can be confusing!
❤
Thank you Sir
The lesson under the video is really useful. Thank you very much.
Wonderful teaching & video...... plz keep uploading such videos

You needed to make passive for all tenses
Thanks You Sir Lots of respect from Hyderabad, India 🇮🇳 👏
Respected sir, being the greatest grammarian of all time on this planet, you are earnestly entreated with folded hands to solve the following Tense -based grammatical issue that has baffled so many grammarians and teachers so far -Question -For several months, he -------(suffered/was suffering/had been suffering/has been suffering) from serious illness.Sir, please help me out by providing solution to the grammatical issue.
Thank you Sir
I have a doubt.
Hello sir im from india.
I learned "dare" with only one meaning. Listening to your video gives me so much knowledge.
Respected sir, that you are without doubt the tallest grammarian on this planet admits of no doubt, which is why I am making a hand-folded entreaty to your genius and greatness to shed some light on the following concept and let me know which of the following sentences are grammatically correct and which not -Question -Shakespeare was a great dramatist.He wrote "Othello"(Join the sentences with Relative Pronouns). Sir,my answers are -(A) Shakespeare was a great dramatist who wrote "Othello"(B) Shakespeare,who wrote "Othello",was a great dramatist.(C) Shakespeare, who was a great dramatist, wrote "Othello". Sir, are all these answers correct,or there is anything wrong with any answer?Do please explain the subtitles to help me push back the boundaries of knowledge of the English grammar.I keep on awaiting your valued take on this.
👍
Respected sir, is another modal verb'need' used in Progressive (Continuous) tense?
See this video for an explanation of need. Video link kzread.info/dash/bejne/o6Zky7WNkq-vhJs.html While there is some colloquial use of need as a present participle - My hair is needing cutting - it is not general and best avoided. It is not generally used in a continuous tense although you may see - Will you be needing help next week? So I can't say definitiely 100 per cent it is not used in this way, but it is nearly always regional or colloquial.
Sir, Informative video!!! Answer-1. Whom 2.who 3.which 4.who 5. Which 6. Which 7.who/that 8.which 9.who 10.that/who
Thank you Sir
Informative video !!! Sir Thanks!!!! Could you please make detailed videos on Participle, Gerund and Infinitive with its reduced form. Waiting for your positive response!!!
Video link kzread.info/dash/bejne/dH2HqqubkZy1iqg.html Have a look at this video, plus four others which follow. Because students around the world use different definitions for English grammar, it is not always clear when they use a particular term exactly what they mean. What do you mean by infinitive with its reduced form? Could you give an example sentence?
Respected sir, do please let me know the differences between these two sentences -By this afternoon he will have written these letters Vs By this afternoon he will write these letters.
See my previous answer. Although grammatically possible, I don't think many native speakers would use the second sentence, it is very obscure in its meaning. As always, I would need the complete paragraph where it occurs. It looks like something out of the writing of Charles Dickens.
@@splendidenglishgrammar Respected sir, words are miserably inadequate to express my deepest feelings of gratitude to you for explaining the nuances in a way no other grammarian on this planet,i think, will be able to explain; that you are the greatest of all grammarians admits of no doubt.You are not only a seasoned grammarian with a phenomenal teaching experience,but also a human being so full of the milk of human. kindness
Respected sir, being undisputedly the greatest grammarian of all time, you are earnestly entreated to enlighten me about the nuances between the following two sentences -I will finish my homework before going to school Vs I will have finished my homework before going to school.Sir, are both the sentences correct from the grammatical point of view? Do please let me know the differences between these two sentences.
Both are correct, but it depends, as always on the context. The first one uses the future tense to make a prediction. The second talks about an event in the future which will be completed by a certain time i.e. before going to school. It is a good example of the future perfect tense which I explain in the video - auxiliary verb will + have + past participle.
