You did such a great job. The only criticism I have is that you make my teachers and professors look bad at their job. Love the content and keep it up!
Long live my primary English teachers cause you indeed did a good job in me regarding teaching me everything I'm seeing here. Kevin your adding on to what i perceived from them.Thank you so much.
Believe it or not, i had tried to search this explanation in 3 sources and none had given me a satisfying one until i found your video. Short and well-explained. Thanks !
I’ve been using your videos to brush up on my writing skills. Thank you. You’re an Excellent Teacher! Hopefully it’s giving you a boost in your analytics.
This makes soo much sense! You teach like a real teacher! (If you are a real teacher then never mind what I said) You should have more than a googol likes and subscribes! I LOVE THIS! .^.
Thanks for your excellent teaching. Is the following sentence correct regarding the dangling modifier? - Some people rush to make an appointment leading them to drive quickly.
Hey there, Behzad! Yes, that sentence is correct, as long as you include a comma after the word "appointment." That comma would eliminate any confusion in the sentence. So, altogether, it would look like this: "Some people rush to make an appointment, leading them to drive quickly." I hope this helps!
Sir, excellent lecture but umm in the lecture you solved easy ones because I got most of the ones in the lecture right but while solving mcqs i get them wrong
I enjoyed the video lesson and learned a lot of useful information. Then, I looked at the mini sentence quiz that followed, and I disagree completely about the 3rd sentence being wrong. I would and have written it the same way in my College teacher training essays, and got an A. You can write it either way and still be right, because it flows perfectly well as is.
Hey there! I think it comes down to "correct" vs. "understandable." I doubt many teachers or professors (including me) would nitpick a sentence like that if it were one of many sentences in an essay. That's because the sentence is *understandable* for most skilled English speakers; people read it and they know what it's trying to say. In fact, for most experienced English speakers, pretty much every example sentence in the lesson would be understandable--you can fairly easily infer what all of those sentences are trying to say. However, this lesson is about being *technically* correct, as opposed to just being understandable. For a lot of English learners, things aren't so easily understandable, so I think it's important to create lessons that strive to be as technically *correct* as possible and to not take for granted things that sort of fall into place for me as a native English speaker. I hope this makes sense!
Please sir i have a question for you why in the example of "on paper plates , we ate the hot dogs " is not a misplaced modifier as in the other one " i saw a dollar walking home". I think its the same concept why you had said that it's a dangling modifier?? And i apologize for my bad english 😅😅 😅😅
I’m going over this along with others due to the ACT I take next month . I need to improve my English skills for the English section . Trying to get a 31 so thank you 🙏
A 31 would be a great score, and I'm confident you'll be able to achieve it if you prepare well enough! As I'm sure you know, the English section of the ACT covers a variety of topics; fortunately, we have lessons on pretty much every single one of them. The ones I'd recommend most would be our lessons on parallel structure, subject-verb agreement, and commas--but, again, we cover basically everything the ACT/SAT will throw at you. Regardless, I hope you do well! I'm sure you will!
Thank you for the nice way of explaining, i have a question: is " because he was late," a phrase ? Or a clause ( a dependent clause ) ? Thank you again
Hey there! A clause is a group of words that has a subject-verb unit. A phrase is a group of words that does NOT have a subject-verb unit. So, your example, "because he was late," would be a clause because it has a subject ("he") and a verb ("was"). It would be a "dependent" clause because it cannot stand on its own as a full sentence. I hope this helps!
Hi Kevin. Great explanation, but I wanted to let you know that for some people, It might actually matter what the differences are between misplaced and dangling, either for a course or an exam..
You have a great point! We thought of that after the fact as well, which is why we've included a detailed breakdown/definition of both dangling and misplaced modifiers in the description block below the video.
@@kspaans Thaaaank you! Just checked the note you added. I wanted to add that somewhere else I've read that a dangling modifier can have the subject it is intended to describe in the same sentence, as long as the modifier takes the form of an introductory phrase followed by a clause that doesn’t state the intended subject. Example: *Swinging from a giant tire, the tourists were delighted by the gorilla. Correct: Swinging from a giant tire, the gorilla delighted the tourists.
You did such a great job. The only criticism I have is that you make my teachers and professors look bad at their job. Love the content and keep it up!

Sir, excellent lecture but umm in the lecture you solved easy ones because I got most of the ones in the lecture right but while solving mcqs i get them wrong
Sometimes independent exercises can feel more difficult than guided examples. Keep practicing, and I'm sure you'll master the concept in no time!

Hey there! A clause is a group of words that has a subject-verb unit. A phrase is a group of words that does NOT have a subject-verb unit. So, your example, "because he was late," would be a clause because it has a subject ("he") and a verb ("was"). It would be a "dependent" clause because it cannot stand on its own as a full sentence.
I hope this helps!
