All the best.
Mam your no nonsense classes are just so unique. I hv spend money on online courses but no one is able to clear the confusions of grammar like you do. Thank you so much mam.
It's my pleasure. You are most welcome.
Mam, the sentence..." Why I was sad is unknown"... Is an adjective cl, right ? You have said noun clause in the video....please enlighten.
Verbs: was and is = 2 clauses. Split into 2 sentences. Something is unknown. (the reason) why I was sad. What is unknown? Answer: why i was sad. I could have substituted with (The way to the park) is unknown. How is it adjectival? Is it describing any noun?
@@TheMindspringsEnglishTeacher thak.you so much mam....
@@TheMindspringsEnglishTeacher if the sentence is " The reason why I was sad is unknown..". The MC is the reason is unknown.... What qs can be asked : What reason ? Which reason ?
@@TheMindspringsEnglishTeacher Ma'am, as per the video, the questions that can be asked a noun are - who? whom? which? - which when answered give us the adjectival clause... here it says noun clause... i am a bit confused here... please clarify!
not clear
Outstanding teaching.
Please reply mam
He is better than I.
Hindi sentence I is used instead of me. Why mam ? Because me is an object
I is used because it completes the second verb in the clause. He is better than I am. Here 'am' is implied. Me is a pronoun object. If you use me it becomes a simple sentence with one verb. Both are correct.
Thanks a ton mam for the explanation . Clauses was one topic that I normally did not like to teach ... but you have explained it so nicely that I am confident now on this topic. Would love to watch all your videos .

Thank you so much mam🙏. You really clear my doubt. I request you to clear my one more doubt😊 that is.......if verb and subject are present in both sentence as well as clause then what's a difference between them.🙏🙏
There is no difference between independent clauses and a sentence. It is only the subordinate clause that does not have a subject of its own and is dependent on the main clause.

Very interesting tips.thank you very much.
My pleasure!
It was very nice and I also understood clause and phrase but in the sentence he asked why I was sad how is was a verb
Was is the past tense of is. The verbs am, is, are, was, were, will be, are all form of the primary verb "to be". Being and been are the present and past participle forms added to make continuous (is being) and perfect tenses. (has been). All verbs!
Thank you ma'am. I liked it so much that I subscribed immediately.
Most welcome 😊 Good to hear that.
Thank you ever so much ma'am..after a long experimentation I got clear concept of clause & phrase from you.
Excellent
Ma'am thank you so much. For this I understood everything between phrases and clauses 🤗
Thanks
Thanks a lot ma'am! Fantastic video indeed! 🙏 It really helped me a lot. You really teach very well in a simplied manner which is very easy to understand. Thanks a lot!
I have one doubt... The reason why I was sad is unknown...here reason is noun and we ask a question to noun ( which reason ) so it must be an adjective clause as we did in 3rd sentence...please let me know ma'am why it is told by you that it is a noun clause...
Please clear my doubt🙏
Thank you. Your doubt is a good one. Actually you can do it both ways depending on which question you ask. If you ask the verb what? you get a noun clause where the whole phrase is taken as 'something' .
If you ask the noun which? you get an adjectival clause. So you are right as well. In a combined sentence as we cannot see the original it is hard to tell what the original conjunction was. But I think your analysis is better than mine.
Thanks a lot Ma'am 😃 seriously I loved the way you teach🙏
This video is very helpful! I do have a question regarding the sentence, "The reason why I was sad is unknown." "why I was sad" answers to the question "which" ---> shouldn't it make it an adjectival clause instead of a noun clause? Thank you for your help.
Very good! It is more of an adjective clause than a noun clause. It does answer the question what? but I think your explantion is better.
Thanku mam now my doubt of 2 years have been cleared
It's my pleasure. Most welcome Arfan.
Thank you so much ma'am 😊

Amazing class I have started watching your video. Thanks 👍 you.
Thank you.
Ma'am I have a doubt , after classification of particular type of clause is done then while classifying it's type should we look at its subordinator ??
For Eg. = While classifying type of adverb clause should we look at it's subordinator?
Also Ma'am you teach very well,
I was in search of experienced and we'll versed teacher like you, Thank You.
Thank you Soham. By subordinator I think you mean the marker like when, where, because, if, although etc. right? Yes you can look at them but they are not reliable. You need to ask the question when? where? why? how? what if? although what? etc. to the verb to get the clause as your answer.
For noun clause ask the verb who? or what? to get the clause as answer and for adjective clause ask which? or what kind? to the noun (not verb)
This is the acid test.
@@TheMindspringsEnglishTeacher Thanks for confirming Ma'am, my doubt is cleared 🙂🙂
"Difficulties are inherent in the case study of an illegal trade as there is a marked lack of reliable up-to-date information and production sites and transport routes are constantly changing to avoid detection." .........Mam, could you please help me identify the phrases here. I know this is a complex sentence and there are three clauses here.
I'll do better. You are right about the clauses. Now pick out the conjunctions joining the clauses. Say what kind they are. You will see it.
@@TheMindspringsEnglishTeacher could you please explain? That will be a great help. Thank you.
Thank you Mam.....your teaching helped me a lot in my exams
It's my pleasure
All your classes are really effective ma'am . Thanks for uploading such classes. It would be of great help if you help me out with this doubt.
He gave me everything that I asked for. Is everything that I asked for a noun clause since it answers the question what. Please help me out ma'am . But In the answer key it is given adjective clause
Thanks Bindu. In your sentence, you are right if you ask the question what? to the verb 'gave' But if you ask which? "everything" ? then the answer would be the adjective clause 'that I asked for' - telling us more about the noun 'everything'. So both are correct. Understand the functions.
@@TheMindspringsEnglishTeacher Thanks a lot ma'am. Thanks for your response 🙏
Really we should appreciate ur efforts mam🙏ur lecture is clear mam...but in the 5th example (The reason why I was sad is unknown) how it become noun Clause I didn't understand mam.
Will u plz explain mam😊
You are right. I asked What is unknown? and got a noun clause 'The reason why I was sad'. But I would rather I had asked Which reason? why I was sad = adjective clause. I agree the adjective clause is better.
Ma'am I think you are the best teacher
Thanks a lot
Thankyou so much Ma'am.
I have a doubt in the following sentence.
The Plan has the virtue (of committing us to nothing.)
What is the right question to ask, The plan has what virtue or The plan has which virtue
You don't frame questions. You merely ask the verb who or what? or the noun the question which?
In this case: Has what? Ans - the virtue.
which virtue? Ans - of committing us ........
If you frame big questions you will go wrong.
the plan has what? the virtue .It is noun clause (according to me)
It is difficult but I don't loose the hope!
Keep at it.

Thank you ma'am for your wonderful presentation... ❤️
Just one doubt...the sentence on the board "He went where no one went before" should have been, in my opinion, " He went where no one had gone before" if we follow the sequence of tenses. Correct me if I am wrong ma'am.
Yes you are absoluely correct. It is the better structure, though 'went' uses a bit of poetic licence and is not terribly wrong. But I agree 'had gone' is definitely more suited.
Mam u are genius in grammer and your idea's are also genius like u
Thanks a lot

Thank you so much ma. This made it much clear to me
You are welcome
Thanks for your wonderful explanation, Madam. Mam, how the sentence of "The reason why i was sad was unkown"can be Noun clause, why not, Adverbial Clause instead?
To get to an adverbial clause you need to ask the main verb one of these questions: when, where, why, how, if what, although what? The verb in the main clause: is 'was'. If you ask why was unknown? Do you get an answer? no.
To get a noun clause you ask the question what? to the verb.
What was unknown? ans: the reason why I was sad. So that is can be correct.
If you say the main clause is: The reason was unknown. Then ask which reason? Ans: why I was sad = adjectival clause.
Mam but which is used in adjectivals..
Hello Mam,
Please look at this sentence:
The stage at which cancer is curable is already over.
Question:
I can deduce that the group of words("at which cancer is curable") is modifying the noun(stage), so the group of words is playing adjectival function. However, I don't know what to call this group of words. The group starts with a preposition (at), so maybe it is a preposition phrase. But then I will have to call the sub-group("which cancer is curable") a noun clause. However, doing so doesn't make sense.
Please guide me!
It cannot be a phrase simply because it contains a verb 'is'. What is your main clause? The stage is already over. Which stage? 'at which cancer is curable'. adjectival clause. the pronoun 'which' stands for 'stage'. It would have read as: the stage at (the stage) cancer is curable. so the prepositional phrase is simply 'at which' or 'at the stage'. It is the 'which' that complicates this.
@@TheMindspringsEnglishTeacher Got it! It is a relative clause that happens to begin with a preposition (before the relative pronoun).
Ma’am again I understood the chapter easily or my exam tomorrow...thank you ma’am
Best of Luck.

Very helpful to me.. Thanks to you ma'am
Most welcome 😊
good morning Dear teacher. I have a question. In relation to the sentence "The reason why I was sad is unknown." what about the depndent clause "why I was sad". Is it functioning as an Adjectival clause?
Yes. I agree. It is more of an adjectival (which reason?) than a noun (What is unknown?).
Ma'am is there anything such as "Prepositional Phrase"?.... BTW loved your teaching method.
Yes there is . Check out this video on Phrases: th-cam.com/video/gQR3bO0Ey6k/w-d-xo.html
There are no prepositional clauses.
@@TheMindspringsEnglishTeacher ok thank u so much ma'am
thank u mam...searcherd it everywhere and i got the gem here
Most welcome 😊 Good luck.
Thank you so much ma'am, but i have a doubt
there is a question,
Fascinated by the stalactites and stalagmites in the cave, the tourists took many pictures.
what this the phrase here and what type is it?
You tell me. How many verbs? Which sentence has a verb and its subject? which one does not? That is your phrase.
Nice video mam, have few doubts while practicing.
In the sentence "I have forgotten to play chess". I asked the question what have I forgotten which should be a noun phrase. However the answer is Adverb phrase. Can you please help me
For noun phrase you ask the question who or what to the verb. Here the verb is 'have forgotten'. What? 'to play chess'. This is a noun phrase.
To get an adverb phrase you need to ask the verb questions like when, where, why, how, although what?, what if? Do you get the answer 'to play chess'? No. Hence it is a noun phrase.
Madam, your explanation was excellent. I have a doubt. U said that the sentence the reason why I was sad is unknown is noun clause. Here I got a confusion. As u said it is an adjectival clause know. Pls check your video once. Pls clarify.
Yes I am aware of the error but once loaded the videos cannot be edited. Sorry about that. Glad you are asking because it tells me you have understood the lesson well. Thanks.
@@TheMindspringsEnglishTeacher Thank you for ur reply, ma'am.
You are seriously amazing mam... phrases and clauses are now clear
Thanks Ipshita. Glad you liked it.
Ma’am i have some confusion in these sentences;
1) students wearing face masks attend the exam
2) ducks swimming in the pond
3)boats carrying refugees are nearing the shore
Please tell me 🙏🏼🙏🏼wearing, swimming, carrying are verbs or gerund s🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻
You tell me. Go through the video on gerunds participles again. Then I will correct you.
All are gerunds
Thushara MR explain please
Students doing the activity “ wearing “
Ducks doing the activity “swimming
Boats doing the activity “carrying “
So we can say they are gerund s
BUT
If we think like “wearing “ is modifying the noun students 🧐🧐🧐it can be an adjective ( participle) am i right?🙏🏼
Good teaching .Thank you madam.
Thanks for liking
Mam I wanted to ask you that in the sentence, "The reason why I was sad is unknown. " you asked the question which to the noun but said that it is a noun clause..It should have been an adjectival..
I have answered this question before on the comments section.
Actually you can do it both ways depending on which question you ask. If you ask the verb what? you get a noun clause where the whole phrase is taken as 'something' .
If you ask the noun which? you get an adjectival clause. So you are right as well. In a combined sentence as we cannot see the original it is hard to tell what the original conjunction was. But I think your analysis is better than mine.

Madam .in verb phrase verb is there..and also any different in predicate and phrase?
