      Thank you, I will watch it 10 more times. Have you done a video, on when to join two words together? For example newspaper.

      What about follow-up? Is this considered compound?

      Hi. It would be very helpful if you would make a lesson to explain how to use the word" though" and "as well" at the final of a sentence. Thanks in advance.

    I had watched a lot of punctuation videos. Yours I found easer to take in, and they have helpled me a great deal to deal with them. I have presaved all your punctuation videos to brush upon my knowledge in case i forget anything. Thank you for your amazing explanation.❤

    I really like the way you structure your videos. Clear and concise. I type an outline of your video as I watch it, and the way you structure things makes it really easy to type the outline. Then at the end I type out the practice and have my outline to look at. Thank you for doing these videos. There are too many people who don't know basic rules of grammar and punctuation. We need this, if only we can get the ones who do need it to watch. :-)
    For the people asking for a video about dashes. Aren't hyphens dashes? I'm confused.

    Thank you, Jennifer, all your videos are always pretty useful. I took English classes back when I was in school, but over time I feel like I've forgotten some of the language rules and nuances. Could you please make a video on how to use dashes?

    Excellent video! I have two doubts:
    1. In the case of placing well-known after the subject; i.e, “She is well known” we are not talking about an adjective compound, are we? (Same applies to good-looking man -> the man is good looking.
    2. Breathtaking is a compound word and functioning as an adjective but it is not hyphenated. Why?
    Thank you soo much for your input! Great channel!

    I have watched dozens of different channels on this topic, and I think that your channel is the best. Lessons demonstrating more advanced sentences would be greatly appreciated. If you offered tutoring, or advanced training, via Patreon, I would sign up. I hope that I wrote all of this correctly.

    Great video, thank you. Please answer my question: If I am creating a word in a heading or title setting where the first part needs to be capitalized-i.e. Carb-trol, or Carb-tain-does the second conjoining word (trol, and tain) need to be capitalized as well, or lowercased? I would assume capitalized, correct? It just looks funny. Thank you so much!

    I am an English octogenarian, therefore it is a long time since I learned grsmmar. I write texts to friends on a daily basis but tend to use an hyphen instead of a colon when joining two related phrases. Is this just a bad habit or an accectable way of communication?
