Thank you for posting this for me, a 27-year-old person who didn't understand this all in school. I've already read often and much, so I intrinsically understood the rules of English and what good and engaging writing looks like. However, as I have begun to write fiction and beta for other fiction writers, I am learning, on my own, the vocabulary and specifics and other necessities. I'm really grateful to the both of you for explaining things plainly, but not as if I were a kindergartner. (Not that there is anything wrong with kindergartners)
Honestly, khan academy has helped me so much. Ever since I was in year 5, I've been subscribing to them and looking for their videos when I dont understand a lesson! I'm now in year 8 and I still enjoy them and understand them really well. Keep it up!
This is just what I needed clarified. It's been years since I learned in grade school and needed a quick refresh course for early linguistics courses. Thanks.
this is soso good ! i'm doing this for my end of year exams and was so confused so i checked out random videos but this was definitely the best ! thank you
I looove the way you explain things like clauses and conjunctions. So easy to understand. But, could you make a video about noun phrases and verb phrases to be more specific, please? I have trouble distinguishing both of them. Thank you :)
I think you are confusing form and function, which will baffle some people. "With the blue shirt" is a prepositional phrase (form) but it functions as a postmodifier of the noun (e.g., friend) "for twenty days" is a prepositional phrase which functions as an adverbial in a sentence
In “ under the ocean blue” how is ocean the subject? I always thought that a noun can’t be a subject or object if it has a preposition (under) before it.
The ocean is the subject because it is being described. a subject is often something that is described in the sentence. example: women are objects. the women are the subject because they are being described
I think they mean it is the subject of this phrase. You might use this phrase as part of a sentence, such as, "The submarine is under the ocean blue." In this sentence, the subject is 'the submarine'.
Having always been keen on caring for people,susan decided to become a nurse. So, here having always been keen on caring for people is a phrase or clause.
Nope :) Simple sentences are made of one independent clause, but complex and compound sentences are made of multiple clauses. Compound sentences are made of 2 or more independent clauses (I think separated by commas and conjunctions). Complex sentences are made of one independent and one dependent clause. Hope this helps :)
It sounds correct because it's written with the question "who are you talking to?" That is exactly what a phrase is. It can't stand alone or has no meaning of its own. Phrase is a part of sentence so it's not a complete sentence. That's what I understood atleast.
@@englishwithlouis8366 Is it possible that a phrase has a 'subject' and not a 'verb'? Initially she said, a phrase has neither a subject nor a verb. Later she says, this phrase has a subject but no verb.
@@lovishsingla3457 They use the example: "The best ham sandwich in Oklahoma". There is no verb so it isn't a clause, it's a noun phrase. But we can use this noun phrase as a subject if we add a verb. "The best ham sandwich in Oklahoma is made by my uncle Tom." Now the phrase has become the subject of the clause (with verb "is made" - passive) and is part of the clause. The subject is: "The best ham sandwich in Oklahoma.."
But i have read in book "wren and martin" that clause contains subject and predicate not subject and verb. so a predicate is anything about subject.Then why "under the blue ocean" not a clause? i think it is, because here ocean is subject and blue is predicate.
Sir I have a problem. ...we have studied that if a auxiliary verb is followed by main verb then it is a verb phrase...ok but for eg. Wept bitterly. ...it is given. Then what phrase is this
"Where she lay" is a dependent clause. It has a subject and a verb, but it cannot stand alone. Clauses that begin with "wh" words are usually dependent.
I don't understand what is the different between a phrase and a sentence???? why do we have to separate it out into two??? same thing with a clause.............a clause is a sentence, and why it need to be call as a clause.....
how about "I know the man who stands in front of you" . "I know the man" is a main clause. so how about "who stands in front of you"? is it a phrase or a clause and why? since the sentence is a simple sentence
s noun clauses question ? hes the one (who stole my eraser) Cuz when you say that to a person he will understand that as a question i didnt really get it or He came into ( when i was peeing ) Is this question as adverb or not same thing when u say : when i was peeing isnt that a question ?

Grammarians is now an official part of my dictionary.
I think you are confusing form and function, which will baffle some people. "With the blue shirt" is a prepositional phrase (form) but it functions as a postmodifier of the noun (e.g., friend)
"for twenty days" is a prepositional phrase which functions as an adverbial in a sentence
Wow guys this is called explaination u guys dont know how much help u give us by doing it which helps in exams. Great achievement for u guys
Thanks you💕

Hi
Would the sentence "Under the ocean blue" be a prepositional phrase ? The word under is a location, which equates a preposition.
CT! yes it is ^^
Is it adverbial phase
Location
Yes it is prepositional phrase which functions as an adverb of location. Prepositional phrases can function as an adverb or an adjectif.
all hail sal khan!
Very clear and interesting explanation. Thank you
love this, thanks!
Nice work khan academy keep it up
I’m also khan❤
You guys are legends
Thank you so much for this video. I understand this so much more now
You both got good tuning, I must say!
Good work
Shouldn't the independent clause, "the wizard who cast a spell" be "the wizard who castS a spell"?
cast is past perfect tense, casts is simple present :)
Best one yet
no way.... tyhank you sooooomuchha aaaaaa
In “ under the ocean blue” how is ocean the subject? I always thought that a noun can’t be a subject or object if it has a preposition (under) before it.
The ocean is the subject because it is being described. a subject is often something that is described in the sentence. example: women are objects. the women are the subject because they are being described
I think they mean it is the subject of this phrase.
You might use this phrase as part of a sentence, such as, "The submarine is under the ocean blue." In this sentence, the subject is 'the submarine'.

So helpful
Having always been keen on caring for people,susan decided to become a nurse. So, here having always been keen on caring for people is a phrase or clause.
Isn't 'with the blue shirt' a prepositional phrase'? Why was it said to be an adjectival phrase?
This video is so nice
Nice video😊😊
Hi, thank's for the lesson. I've a question
Why clauses some times could be sentences and sometimes they can't?
can a phrase consist of only one word?
How about "that is on the corner" from "The lot that is on the corner needs mowing."? Is it a phrase or a clause?
though they were more in number than we
is this sentence a clause?
So, are all sentences, technically a clause?
Nope :) Simple sentences are made of one independent clause, but complex and compound sentences are made of multiple clauses. Compound sentences are made of 2 or more independent clauses (I think separated by commas and conjunctions). Complex sentences are made of one independent and one dependent clause. Hope this helps :)
Thank you so much Khan Academy
LOVE THE SONG CONJUNCTION WHAT'S YOUR FUNCTION
I think a phrase can be a sentence informally like
-Who are u talking to?
-My best mate.
It sounds correct because it's written with the question "who are you talking to?" That is exactly what a phrase is. It can't stand alone or has no meaning of its own. Phrase is a part of sentence so it's not a complete sentence. That's what I understood atleast.
What app do you use for writing
Your two are the best explain thanks
Good evening Rosie Ma'am N David Sir
Same way with the dependent clause
Awesome!!!
Hey, Does a phrase have a subject?
If a "phrase" has a subject and a verb, it becomes a clause. So no, a phrase doesn't have a subject.
@@englishwithlouis8366 Is it possible that a phrase has a 'subject' and not a 'verb'? Initially she said, a phrase has neither a subject nor a verb. Later she says, this phrase has a subject but no verb.

while going to school .....is it a phrase or clause plz xplain
Seema Sheikh it's a phrase as it has no subject.
amazing
Thanks for this excellent explanation! :)
But i have read in book "wren and martin" that clause contains subject and predicate not subject and verb.
so a predicate is anything about subject.Then why "under the blue ocean" not a clause? i think it is, because here ocean is subject and blue is predicate.

Elisha Prakash idk fam
So... "where she lay" is a clause??
Actually it's a clause because there is a subject verb combination she lay..
"Where she lay" is a dependent clause. It has a subject and a verb, but it cannot stand alone. Clauses that begin with "wh" words are usually dependent.
I am a really big fan of Khan Academy thank you and pls continue making these type of videos
wonderful
I gotta do this in an edpuzzle how great
Well, it was great but what is the difference between a sentence and a clause
I'm still waiting for the episode where David comes 'out' of the closet.
CLever mate
"under the ocean blue" how is "the ocean" here the subject? according to an english rule, a subject can't be a part of a prepositional phrase right?
I don't understand what is the different between a phrase and a sentence???? why do we have to separate it out into two??? same thing with a clause.............a clause is a sentence, and why it need to be call as a clause.....
Beautiful woman is it a phrase or a clause ????
Phrase since it doesn't have a verb :)
I thought 'for twenty' is a prepositional phrase that functions as adverb in that sentence
how about "I know the man who stands in front of you" . "I know the man" is a main clause. so how about "who stands in front of you"? is it a phrase or a clause and why? since the sentence is a simple sentence
s noun clauses question ?
hes the one (who stole my eraser)
Cuz when you say that to a person he will understand that as a question i didnt really get it or
He came into ( when i was peeing )
Is this question as adverb or not same thing when u say : when i was peeing isnt that a question ?
HELLO...! BOW DOWN TO ME HUMANS....! I'M FROM THE FUTURE...!!! OOOOOOH!!
Cool
very cool
I like David
