Jenifer is my favorite teacher. Your amazing presentation of teaching us English sometimes divert my attention beyond the lesson I'm learning from you. I appreciate the way you always dedicate for your students to getting deep understanding although my grammar is yet too bad.
Jennifer I have to tell you that! you're awesome! I'm so glad for having your video classes that I use them in the most part of my classes. if one day you feel little bit "down", try to remember that you have been helping lots of people in a city in Brazil called Porto Alegre. Hugs Giuliano.
Lesson 54 - In the Kitchen - Learn English with Jennifer I suggest that the beginners in the viewers see this excellent video on prepositions in adverbs of location. Even the advanced ones among them will enjoy the exposition in its simplicity and spontaneity. Maybe other works on adverbs of time and manner and their prepositions could be added in the series planned. Good luck and great work, Jennifer; a service to the lingua franca called English.
Thank you for noting that other video, Arun. I have a basic plan in place for this series, but I'll remain flexible as I try to find the best way to present all the information and examples. :)
First of all, Thank you very much for your videos. I am always learning with you. I was completed lesson till 65. And I can understand you very well. I like your teaching style. I want to learn more from you.

thanks so much Jennifer i 'm watching some lesson today because I need to improve my english and I go to L A in 2 weeks for a trip in California and you lesson are very precious for me thanks from France
Hello Theirry. I wish you safe travels. Believe in yourself. Focus on getting your ideas across, even if it's with mistakes. You'll be fine. Good luck!
Thank you for such a clear explanation , mam . I was having a great confusion on preposition till my nineth and I have faced many problems, but from now I am doing better🥰🥰.
It's important to note that a prepositional phrase like, 'For the best results, we, along with everyone else. must study hard,' can also have a paticipial phrase in the sentence (along with everone else). This is itself a prepositional phrase. We can say we have interjected a particicipial phrase into the sentence to give more information. A participial phrase acts like the adjective to the noun/pronoun/proper noun in the sentence. The correct use of commas in prepositional phrases is also important:' In the cinema on the north end of town, we watched one of the best films ever made.' However, writing this way (with the prepositional phrase at the end of the sentence) requires no comma: 'We watched one of the best films ever made in that cinema on the north end of town.' It works the same when you know the name of the cinema; 'At the Odeon, we watched one of the best fims we've ever seen.' No comma required when we do this: 'We watched one of the best films we've ever seen at the Odeon...Hopefully Jennifer will correct me if I've made any mistakes in my theorising.
Yes, punctuation matters. I helps readers digest our written thoughts more easily. Commas especially break up larger thoughts. In general, yes, we separate introductory words and phrases with a comma. You gave helpful examples. :)
+Nuanprang Chaitakhob Hello. I received email notification that you posted a comment, but it's not visible here on YT. Could you please repost your question? You asked something about indirect objects/nouns. Thanks.
I'm thankful that you're my teacher, Your the best teacher ever! dear teacher, I hope you are well,I would like to request please give us some tips to Improve our English speaking skills!
Hello. I have study tips here. englishwithjennifer.com/study-tips/ All playlists here: englishwithjennifer.com/students/yt-videos/ I'll post some videos regarding conversation skills in April/May. :)
UPDATE: December 2022 I've since modified my understanding and explanation of indirect objects, especially in the SVOO sentence type. I no longer believe it's accurate to call objects of prepositions indirect objects. Prepositions always have object, but it's best to simply call them "objects of prepositions." I've considered whether or not a prepositional phrase can actually be called the indirect object in SVOO (example: I showed my work to the teacher). It would be more accurate to simply consider the entire prepositional phrase as the second object without naming it the "indirect object." See my new lesson ditransitive verbs. Like you, I'm on an ongoing journey of learning! Thank you for allowing me to guide you and share my understanding as I continually aim to improve and refine it.
Dear Jennifer, Topic: let's meet in the lobby at noon May I say: In the lobby, adverb phrase of place and at noon, adverb phrase of time and also two prepositions phrases. Thank you kindly. andrea
+Andrea Giraldo Hi Andrea. I'm sorry I didn't see this earlier. We do try to limit the number of prepositional phrases in a single sentence, but place and time are a common combination. It's okay to have two prepositional phrases together like that. Consider another example: Will you come with me to the store? (with...to...)
You're welcome, Morela. Don't be discouraged. 7/10 is just fine for a first try. It takes more familiarity with the combinations to get them all right. Please also try the exercise on my website. Thank you for studying with me. :)

"Hi, Jennifer. Thank you for your lessons. They clear to take me understanding. However, I confusingly know about the object in sentences. I sometime see the indirect as noun, gerund or sentence. I don't know how to use." This is my comment that I posted here 6 days ago. You didn't see that. I hope it could show you. Thank you for your mind.
+Nuanprang Chaitakhob Hello! I see both copies of your question now. :) Remember that objects can be anything that acts like a noun: 1. I'd like to know [the answer]. = The direct object is a noun. 2. I'd like to know more about [it]. = The indirect object is a pronoun. 3. I'd like to know more about [forming sentences]. = The direct object is a gerund phrase. 4. I'd like to know [who that was]. = The direct object is a noun clause/an embedded question. To make sense of a sentence, identify the main subject (I) and main verb (would like). Sentences basically follow the same patterns. Here are common ones: subject + verb (I know.) subject + verb + object (I know the answer.) subject + verb + object + prepositional phrase (I know the answer to the question.) Hope that helps.
This must be a while since you posted this video, and I don't know if you would read my comment or not. But I have to say that what you've done is amazing. I watched this video twice before but now I watch it again because I'm having a test on preposition tomorrow. You are the best teacher who help us a lot to learn grammar. ❤
I try to keep up with all new comments. :) I'm glad this lesson was useful. Good luck on the exam. Just in case, here are links. The playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLfQSN9FlyB6TT9yUCjC6QLTMphzLq2Ay0.html The review exercises: www.englishwithjennifer.com/students/interactive-exercises/
Summarizing and paraphrasing are good skills to have. I've worked on them in some private lessons. I'll keep the topic in mind. I hope to have some advanced writing courses in the future. At the present, on WizIQ I only have an intermediate writing skills course. All in good time. Regards!
Sentence : Ovens are for cooking food I am trying to understand the role of different words in the above sentence. Please correct me if I am wrong in any of the below. I am most unsure about point 5. and 6. below. 1. Ovens: Noun: Subject 2. Are: Linking Verb 3. for cooking food: Prepositional Phrase: Subject Complement: Adjectival Phrase 4. for: preposition of purpose 5. cooking: gerund :object of the preposition 6. food: object complement for the object = cooking
That looks pretty good! I've been creating a short series of videos on complements for members. (Super Members and higher get access to a weekly bonus video.) th-cam.com/play/PLfQSN9FlyB6Q9KcdNzhIsJBnkYq7Z4REy.html I included a prepositional phrase as an example of a subject complement, but in the comments/video description, I admit that there's disagreement between sources when it comes to identifying such phrases as subject complements or obligatory adverbials. In the end, I don't think it matters too much. The point is that prepositional phrases can follow a linking verb. Perhaps if they express location or time, more people would recognize that adverbials. However, in your example, "for cooking food" is indeed like an adjective, describing the use of ovens.
@@Englishwithjennifer You are always so helpful and so awesome! Wish you long and happy life! My logic was that after a linking verb, there has to be a subject complement and that a subject complement needs to have an adjective or a noun like properties. So by that logic, "for cooking food" had to be an Adjectival phrase. An obligatory adverbial is a new term for me.
Sometimes terminology confuses me, too, and that's when I think it's time to put it aside and just focus on the patterns themselves, regardless of the labels.
Thank you so much for your channel! I would say that prepositions are the most difficult part in learning and teaching English as a second language ( apart from articles)).
Sentence: Two years after learning to walk, John finally learned how to talk. In the above sentence - the phrase("Two years after learning to walk") looks like a noun phrase but behaves like an adverbial prepositional phrase of timing. What do you think it is - noun phrase or prepositional phrase?
A river flows between the banks. BETWEEN > preposition "Between the banks" is the prepositional phrase and it expresses direction. This phrase modifies "flows," so it's like an adverb.
Hi, Jennifer. Thank you for your lessons. They clear to take me understanding. However, I confusingly know about the object in sentences. I sometime see the indirect as noun, verb + ing or sentence. I don't know how to use.
If there's an introductory phrase, we usually set it off with a comma. With determination and faith, you can accomplish almost anything. You'll find my playlist on writing skills/punctuation here. www.englishwithjennifer.com/students/yt-videos/ Commas between two prepositional phrases aren't usually necessary. I'll see you in about two weeks for our next meeting.
@@Englishwithjennifer with the brass nozzle in his fists, with this great python spitting its venomous upon the works. Writer used comma between these two prepositional phrases
Likely because the same exact preposition was used. "With" repeats, and the author wanted to create some separation. That's his/her style. I'd write it differently. I'd likely use "and."
Jennifer, I see in one exercise. Dave wento paris in June, 1999. When a use two adverbs like this example. I can't use in before the year 1999( Dace went to Paris in June, in 1999.
Hello Miriam. We'll talk about dates in this series. IN + month IN + year IN + season ON + day of the week ON + date of the month ON + holiday EXAMPLES: Dave went to Paris in June. Dave went to Paris in 1999. Dave went to Paris in June of 1999.
Ha ha. Thank you. I'm glad the video was useful. However, since I've actually helped write a grammar book in the past, I hope you'll still keep your textbook as a useful reference. It's helpful to have more than one explanation. :)

I don't know how to use." This is my comment that I posted here 6 days ago. You didn't see that. I hope it could show you. Thank you for your mind.
+Nuanprang Chaitakhob Hello! I see both copies of your question now. :) Remember that objects can be anything that acts like a noun:
1. I'd like to know [the answer]. = The direct object is a noun.
2. I'd like to know more about [it]. = The indirect object is a pronoun.
3. I'd like to know more about [forming sentences]. = The direct object is a gerund phrase.
4. I'd like to know [who that was]. = The direct object is a noun clause/an embedded question.
To make sense of a sentence, identify the main subject (I) and main verb (would like). Sentences basically follow the same patterns. Here are common ones:
subject + verb (I know.)
subject + verb + object (I know the answer.)
subject + verb + object + prepositional phrase (I know the answer to the question.)
Hope that helps.

Summarizing and paraphrasing are good skills to have. I've worked on them in some private lessons. I'll keep the topic in mind. I hope to have some advanced writing courses in the future. At the present, on WizIQ I only have an intermediate writing skills course. All in good time. Regards!
Thank you very much Jennifer
You're very welcome!
Teacher number one :). Thank you teacher very much
very clear lesson. Thanks.
Sentence : Ovens are for cooking food
I am trying to understand the role of different words in the above sentence. Please correct me if I am wrong in any of the below. I am most unsure about point 5. and 6. below.
1. Ovens: Noun: Subject
2. Are: Linking Verb
3. for cooking food: Prepositional Phrase: Subject Complement: Adjectival Phrase
4. for: preposition of purpose
5. cooking: gerund :object of the preposition
6. food: object complement for the object = cooking
That looks pretty good!
I've been creating a short series of videos on complements for members. (Super Members and higher get access to a weekly bonus video.) th-cam.com/play/PLfQSN9FlyB6Q9KcdNzhIsJBnkYq7Z4REy.html
I included a prepositional phrase as an example of a subject complement, but in the comments/video description, I admit that there's disagreement between sources when it comes to identifying such phrases as subject complements or obligatory adverbials. In the end, I don't think it matters too much. The point is that prepositional phrases can follow a linking verb. Perhaps if they express location or time, more people would recognize that adverbials. However, in your example, "for cooking food" is indeed like an adjective, describing the use of ovens.
@@Englishwithjennifer You are always so helpful and so awesome! Wish you long and happy life!
My logic was that after a linking verb, there has to be a subject complement and that a subject complement needs to have an adjective or a noun like properties. So by that logic, "for cooking food" had to be an Adjectival phrase. An obligatory adverbial is a new term for me.
Sometimes terminology confuses me, too, and that's when I think it's time to put it aside and just focus on the patterns themselves, regardless of the labels.
REALLY COULD UNDERSTAND QUITE WELL!!!!! NICE ONE
Your teaching is so gud ...I was able to improve in my lang class
I'm happy to hear that. You'll find all my playlists here: englishwithjennifer.com/students/yt-videos/

Thank you so much from Viet Nam !!!
Thank you so much for your channel! I would say that prepositions are the most difficult part in learning and teaching English as a second language ( apart from articles)).
Yes, they are tricky. Even native speakers make mistakes with them sometimes. :) I hope you'll watch the whole series. Regards!

Thanks for your information.
Sentence: Two years after learning to walk, John finally learned how to talk.
In the above sentence - the phrase("Two years after learning to walk") looks like a noun phrase but behaves like an adverbial prepositional phrase of timing. What do you think it is - noun phrase or prepositional phrase?
Two years later/ Two years after that/ Two years after learning to walk >> I see them all as adverbials. They answer the question when?
Studies shouldn't be happy. No pain no gain. :)
Ha ha. Definitely effort should be put in, but no lasting headaches should result from grammar studies.
helpful English video:p Cheers. I will share with my followers .
A riving flows between its banks. Kindly tell the part of speech of the word between in the sentence. Well my guess is, it's preposition.
A river flows between the banks.
BETWEEN > preposition
"Between the banks" is the prepositional phrase and it expresses direction. This phrase modifies "flows," so it's like an adverb.
Thank you for this useful lesson!
You're welcome! :)
Hi, Jennifer. Thank you for your lessons. They clear to take me understanding. However, I confusingly know about the object in sentences. I sometime see the indirect as noun, verb + ing or sentence. I don't know how to use.
nice explained.plz give examples of beyond preposition with meaning
It can have literal and figurative meanings: beyond the fence / beyond the age of 65.
More examples: www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/beyond

+Kinkong Fong I'm happy this was useful. :)
Hi ! Should we use comma between two prepositional phrases at front ? Or it should we do it in every case front, middle & last?
If there's an introductory phrase, we usually set it off with a comma.
With determination and faith, you can accomplish almost anything.
You'll find my playlist on writing skills/punctuation here.
www.englishwithjennifer.com/students/yt-videos/
Commas between two prepositional phrases aren't usually necessary.
I'll see you in about two weeks for our next meeting.
@@Englishwithjennifer with the brass nozzle in his fists, with this great python spitting its venomous upon the works.
Writer used comma between these two prepositional phrases
Likely because the same exact preposition was used. "With" repeats, and the author wanted to create some separation. That's his/her style. I'd write it differently. I'd likely use "and."
You known my teacher us to tell me that l 'm good in English of USA so l was happy from that my mom was happy from tell me you can do it
I'm happy to hear that. I hope you'll continue to study with me. Kind wishes to you and your mother!

Ha ha. Thank you. I'm glad the video was useful. However, since I've actually helped write a grammar book in the past, I hope you'll still keep your textbook as a useful reference. It's helpful to have more than one explanation. :)
+JenniferESL ok thanks for kind advice
