Question of the Day: Please practice what you've learned in this lesson. Please make one sentence for each of the seven coordinating conjunctions. Bonus fact: Do you know who the Toronto Raptors' biggest fanboy is? (Hint, it isn't Drake)🏀 Nav Bhatia is officially the number one fan of the Raptor's. If you didn't notice his picture in this lesson, watch the video again 😉
1. I want to watch your videos, FOR learning your well explained grammar. 2. I think it´s a good idea listening to your words, AND repeat them out loud. Listening to your words AND repeating them out lout. (Not comma) 3. I don`t want to go shopping, NOR being long in parks at the present time. 4. I´d like to go on vacation, BUT I have to wait for quite some time. 5. In my free time I usually read a newspaper, OR watch music videos on television. 6. I would like to visit Toronto again, YET that is impossible for me now 7. I don´t remember English grammar rules that I learned long ago, So I have to follow your lessons. Jen, I've learned in this lesson something that I wasn't sure about the place of the comma. As always, your grammar explanations are amazingly perfect.👏👍🌹
Hi Santiago. Thanks for your nice comment. I am very glad to hear that this lesson was also useful for you, especially the explanations of commas. ☺️ Of course your English is great. I hope you don't mind, but I just want to quickly correct a small point with possible confusion around gerunds and infinitives. In your second sentence you mixed a gerund and an infinitive, however we can't do that. (Correct examples: I like reading and singing. I like to read and sing. Incorrect example: I like to read and singing.)They should both be gerunds or both be infinitives, and in this case because it is coming after "it's a good idea", you should use the infinitive. "I think it's a good idea to listen to your words, and repeat them out loud." Your third sentence has the same mistake because you have the infinitive 'to go' mixed with the gerund 'being'. So it should be "I don't want to go shopping, nor be long in parks at the present time." It's only a small point, but since I appreciate your encouraging comments, I just wanted to bring it to your attention. 😉
@@JeNsJyugyou Oh, dear, I made a great mistake. Yes, but my English perhaps looks good but it is not. 😥(two infinitives, in this case). Now I understand. I appreciate your correction very much, Jen. I won’t forget, I promise. 👍 I´m hoping that the pandemic problem will be decreasing there, as it seems that it will be happening in this country. Let us pray for a quick recovery. 💖
Hi Santiago, It's only a small point, so don't worry too much. 🙂 I am also praying that this world-wide pandemic will end soon and stop its spread. Things here are slowly starting to reopen, but I fear a second wave will happen as people start to relax too much despite the invisible threat still lurking. I hope the situation in Spain is improving and that you are able to have more freedom safely. Take care 💐
Yes, it's interesting how these coordinated conjunctions are the glue for making great sentences even poetry sentences. I Like to watch your videos, YET I couldn't watch them all.
Thanks for your comment. ☺️ Your second sentence is perfect, but your first example is slightly wrong: "these coordinating conjunctions are the glue for making great sentences, even poetic sentences." (Although 'for' is a coordinating conjunction, it is also used in several other ways as well. In your example sentence it is used as a preposition. This is why you don't need a comma in front of it, but the verb that follows it should be a gerund. )
Thank you Jen. Please correct me if I've made any mistakes. 1. For the United States offers better job opportunities many people migrate to it. 2. This machine is powered by oil, and the other one uses electricity. 3. Adam didn't travel with his family, nor he went to the cinema with his friends. 4. We can't afford a new car, nor a vacation to Europe. 5. Laura is very good on mathematics, and she loves it, but her parents decided that she should study law. 6. You can take the test on a computer, or if you want you can answer the questions on paper, but you must write them down clearly. 7. You have to choose among an hamburger, a pizza, or a cake. 8. Mark studied hard to his exams, yet he failed. 9. She lived for many years in France, so she can speak French fluently.
Great example sentences using coordinating conjunctions 🤩. Here are a few corrections which I hope will help: 1. Since the United States offers better job opportunities many people migrate to it.(Since makes more sense here) 2. Good sentence. 😃 3. Adam didn't travel with his family, nor did he go to the cinema with his friends. (parallel structure) 4. We can neither afford a new car, nor a vacation to Europe. (Usually 'nor' is used with 'neither') 5. Laura is very good at mathematics and she loves it, but her parents decided that she should study law. ('good' at is the correct collocation. Here's a video I made which can help: th-cam.com/video/Oz5oYINIFFM/w-d-xo.html ) 6. You can take the test on a computer, or if you want you can answer the questions on paper, but you must write your responses down clearly. (the meaning of 'them' was unclear) 7. You have to choose between a hamburger, a pizza, or a cake. (between sounds more natural than among, and you don't need 'an' for hamburger) 8. Mark studied hard for his exams, yet he failed. (it's not used as a conjunction in this case, but the correct collocation is 'study for') 9. Your sentence is perfect 👍 I wish you all the best 😊 .
WELL I HAVE PRACTICED MUCH :"WOULD YOU LIKE TO......" AS YOU SPEAK THIS SENTENCE IN THE START OF SOME VIDEOS, NOW I UNDERSTAND I HAD NOT A NATIVE ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHER WHEN I STARTED LEARNING ENGLISH, AND I LEARNED WROND PRONOUNCIATION. NOW THAT IT IS HARD TO CHANGE THAT. NOW IT NEEDS DOUBLE EFFORT TO CORRECT MY PRONOUNCIATION
Hi Jen! Could you tell me if the following sentences mean the same or have a subtle difference? 1. When the student raised his hand to ask another question, the teacher pretended he couldn't see him. 2. When the student raised his hand to ask one other question, the teacher pretended he couldn't see him.
Hello Omar 😎 Thanks for your question. Both of those sentences are grammatically correct and have the exact same meaning. The article 'A" means that there is one of something. When the word after 'a' ends with a vowel then 'a' becomes 'an'. I'll see you in an hour = I'll see you in one hour. Over time the words 'an other' have simply become one word (another) that is often used in English. In fact, although both sentences have the same meaning, for me personally it sounds much more natural to use "another question" rather than "one other question". I hope that helps. 💐
@@JeNsJyugyou Thank you Jen. Could you make a video about when to use other, others, the other, the others and another? It's a little bit confusing for English learners.
1. He was very happy for his exam result. 2. Germany is one of the most developed country, and this country has a huge industrial power in the world. 3. Eating junk foods, nor being lazy are not healthy habits. 4. They love to being cool and hot, but they can't. 5. I should select between playing video games, or learning English. 6. The company declared that they will use new technologies, yet their new products stick to old methods. 7. It might go for recycling process, so I put it in a separate container.
Hi, Jen! The word ‘beef’ stands for cow’s meat, same way ‘lamb’ and ‘mutton’ are words related to meat. Say, I were a cannibal, what would I call human flesh?
Lol! What an interesting question. I suppose that if you were a cannibal, you would like a specific word to describe your diet. However, to my knowledge, similar to how the meat of chicken is just chicken, there is no word special word for the the meat of humans, other than 'human flesh'. In English speaking culture eating human flesh is a huge taboo which would explain why there is no word for it.
Interesting! I found a peculiar word for that that you might recognize, though I find it suspiciously uncommon. It is said to describe the diet that a cannibal would have. Does the phrase ‘long pig’ ring a bell in your head?
Hmm, I Googled the expression "long pig" and in the majority of results is says things like 'term formerly used', ' antiquated term', and 'outdated expression'. So although you could use the expression, I don't think many native English speakers would necessarily understand. It's interesting that cannibals apparently compared humans to pigs. I wonder if we taste the same? LOL 😅
If we taste the same? Hmm.. There must be a way to answer that question without actually tasting human meat. Scientists are the ones who like to know why. All we need to do is find a wacky TH-camr to do a little research on the matter :D
Tomorrow my marriage anniversary, but I am far away from my Wife. far away from my lover since 28 years we celebrate together every year, so how we can manage to feel together tomorrow. I think our soul can fly without plane to meet somewhere in the Indian Ocean.
❤️ Happy anniversary! I am sorry to hear that you won't be able to celebrate together with your wife, but once you return home I hope you'll be able to have a proper celebration together. 💐 Congratulations on 28 years together.🥰
