+English Lessons with Alex (engVid AlexESLvid) Sir, what if I say "My sister from Chicago visited me last weekend"? It sounds correct to me and I can't understand the difference! Thank you.
+mjshaheed Yes , you are right in a case if that you are talking about identyfining relative clauses . Who ,which and That can be omitted if they refer to the object of the sentence . Whose and Where cannot be omitted . But Relative pronounce / adverbs cannot be omitted in non-identyfining relative clauses ; nor we can use That instead of them , as the teacher said .
There is a guy here who wants to learn this language,if you help me I will be better one day because I believe myself and I trust you Alex you're the best teacher ever,I've seen by now in fact there were lots of things on the tip of my tounge but I don't remember now excuse me,anyway shortly dear Alex your lessons It's right up my street,That's about the size of it....take care and keep your nose clean dear teacher
Thank you Professor I am from Egypt and I follow you and understand well because you are fluent English clearly and easily words and stay away from strange words
I've subscribed and it was my favorite subject in school but it is important to always refresh and reprocess what you have learned. If I have a question I'll refer to you. What's strange is I know the funtions, jus' not the actual words. So I personally need to learn the terminology. I've taken it for granted what I've learned in school.
Non-identifying clause is still a little bit confusing for me,but I almost understood thanks to you.Your explanation of how many sisters you have stuff is very very helpful to understand it.
i enjoy your videos so much! u talk so soft, and it's a pleasure to listen to you :X and what's more important : i understand everything! thank youuu!!!
Exactly I was looking for :) I was always confused with comma usage. In conclusion, comma is used for giving extra information (non identifying sentence). But I guess, both ways are grammatically correct. Am I right ?
Relative clauses are very useful in writing in English specially for ilets and tofl Two types of them are: Identifying clause - non Identifying clause The difference is that an Identifying or restrictive clause gives direct info about something/someone and there's only 1 comma for example: my sister who's from China, visited us last year. Notice here from the context you assume i have many sisters unlike the next type, but nonIdentifying has two commas and gives more information. For example my sister, who's from China visited us last year. (Who's from China here is not Important info as it was in the first type so you just give extra info here) 5:17 Relative pronouns that we use with Relative clauses: Who-whom-which-that-whose We use these so-called relative pronouns. And we use them to give more info about people. Who: when you.wanna provide more info about people Whom: person receiving the action Whose: for possissives Which or that: are used for things One thing funny about "whose" is that we can use it for things not only for people 8:05 Lastly: one more thing regarding (which - that) you need to be aware of. in Identifying clause Identifying clause: you can use which - that However in non Identifying clause if you are providing more info thats not necessarily after the comma you must use which For example I went to the apartment, which had blue walls Notice here I added more info at the end as a result I used comma and which
Hi i have a question,which is really important,that is in the last example (she went into the apartment) if she went into more than one apartment we would have used that instead of which to identify which apartment Another thing that i realized that i am not sure if its true or not if there is one thing only of the thing that we are talking about like Toronto or Adidas we use which always with commas but if there is more than one thing for example when you say the book the rabbit the chair we use that or which without commas right But in the quiz of which/that video there was (which sentence is incorrect) i saw a speeding car,which really startled me or i saw a speeding car,that startled me and the answer is which startled me here it means that i only say one speeding car if i saw more i would have used that And in the third quiz which of these is a non-identifying clause (the book,which is written by stephen king is on sale or the book which is written by stephen king is on sale here the answer is A but why here extra information that can be dropped out of the phrase but why if we say the book is on sale we don't know which book am i right? Or there is only one book that is on sale am i right so it only depends on if you're talking about one thing you use which with comma if more than one thing you use that is that what it is?
These are object relative pronouns. You can use them to indicate time and place: That's the city where I grew up. Do you remember the day when we met? There's more to it than that, though. I should make a lesson on this topic in the future...:) Here is a pretty good link to explain how they work: www.grammar-quizzes.com/clauses-4.html
Very good..Actually I will have a demo lesson on this topic and this video helped me a lot, thanks)) But what about using prepositions in relative clauses?
Hi Alex. I´m an English teacher in Mexico. I´d like you to tell me, for this topic of Relative Clauses, if identifying and non- identifying relative clauses are also called definite and indefinite relative clauses. You also mention other names for this grammar topic. Thanks a lot. Minerva Ruiz

Thank you very much Mr. Alex
Thank you! Very professional work!
Relative clauses are very useful in writing in English specially for ilets and tofl
Two types of them are:
Identifying clause - non Identifying clause
The difference is that an Identifying or restrictive clause gives direct info about something/someone and there's only 1 comma for example: my sister who's from China, visited us last year. Notice here from the context you assume i have many sisters unlike the next type, but nonIdentifying has two commas and gives more information. For example my sister, who's from China visited us last year. (Who's from China here is not Important info as it was in the first type so you just give extra info here)
5:17
Relative pronouns that we use with Relative clauses:
Who-whom-which-that-whose
We use these so-called relative pronouns. And we use them to give more info about people.
Who: when you.wanna provide more info about people
Whom: person receiving the action
Whose: for possissives
Which or that: are used for things
One thing funny about "whose" is that we can use it for things not only for people 8:05
Lastly: one more thing regarding (which - that) you need to be aware of. in Identifying clause Identifying clause: you can use which - that
However in non Identifying clause if you are providing more info thats not necessarily after the comma you must use which
For example I went to the apartment, which had blue walls
Notice here I added more info at the end as a result I used comma and which
nice! i understood now, thanks you are the best
do you watch animie
Hi i have a question,which is really important,that is in the last example (she went into the apartment) if she went into more than one apartment we would have used that instead of which to identify which apartment
Another thing that i realized that i am not sure if its true or not if there is one thing only of the thing that we are talking about like Toronto or Adidas we use which always with commas but if there is more than one thing for example when you say the book the rabbit the chair we use that or which without commas right
But in the quiz of which/that video there was (which sentence is incorrect) i saw a speeding car,which really startled me or i saw a speeding car,that startled me and the answer is which startled me here it means that i only say one speeding car if i saw more i would have used that
And in the third quiz which of these is a non-identifying clause (the book,which is written by stephen king is on sale or the book which is written by stephen king is on sale here the answer is A but why here extra information that can be dropped out of the phrase but why if we say the book is on sale we don't know which book am i right? Or there is only one book that is on sale am i right so it only depends on if you're talking about one thing you use which with comma if more than one thing you use that is that what it is?
That was very helpful for me.Thanks.

Thank you teacher. What about where or when?
These are object relative pronouns. You can use them to indicate time and place:
That's the city where I grew up.
Do you remember the day when we met?
There's more to it than that, though. I should make a lesson on this topic in the future...:) Here is a pretty good link to explain how they work: www.grammar-quizzes.com/clauses-4.html
remember which and that are used for things
Very good..Actually I will have a demo lesson on this topic and this video helped me a lot, thanks)) But what about using prepositions in relative clauses?
great lesson
Nice explanation
