    If grammar was taught with such passion and dedication as yours, there would be more students with the necessary writing and reading skills, and more interest in the grammar lessons. Keep up the good work.

    Thanks Adam. I like these kinds of nuanced lessons that explain the subtle differences between similar grammar words/constructions. This lesson in particular has helped me to clear up some questions that have been swirling around in my head for a long time.

    Hi Adam and thanks for the clip. 8:57 , the bottom sentence. Should "men's earning" be followed by a verb? As in "studies show that despise men's earning are more than women's, women spend more than men"?

  • @yeye4714
    @yeye4714 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I used to use however to join two clauses, but now I know how to use "however" correctly. Thank U, Adam!!!

    • @metalwerke44
      @metalwerke44 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Forms of Use:
      . , (Most Common)
      ; , (Smoother Transition Between Ideas)
      , , (Uncommon)
      .
      ;
      ,
      Beginning of Sentence
      Mid-Sentence
      End of Sentence
      This Transition Word Is Formal and Is Stronger When Used at the Beginning of a Sentence and Milder Mid-Sentence and the End of Sentence. It Makes Contrast Between Ideas Slightly More Clear But I Don't Want to Use It Even Though People Use This Transition Word.

    • @metalwerke44
      @metalwerke44 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Remember to Use Uppercase When with a Full Stop and Lowercase When with a Semicolon or Two Commas.

    • @metalwerke44

      It Is the Contrast Glue.

    • @metalwerke44

      This Transition Word Is Formal, Half Common, Makes Contrast Smooth and Clear and Gives Contrast Flow

    I have read many things. That is because I love reading.
    Although, when you say that "reading" is a great way to learn how correctly use words, according to their grammatical function (And I agree with you) I want to point out some observations, nevertheless. :-)
    I read about 30 book in 2020, so far. And I came across to a frequent problem: the personal style of each author.
    Each author has its personal way to delivery its ideas, and many times they "twist" the grammar rules a little.
    So, I ask you:
    How to get over those "twisting" and avoid to learn something wrong; once I don't know everything about grammar? What sources are reliable?
    Currently, I have tried to fix this problem reading many and more different authors. But I'm concerned to, even though, learn something wrong.

    Hlo sir I am from Nepal the highest Mount Everest in the world; and I am very confuse with these words, but you made me more comfortable in actual writting practice. I feel one important thing is that who give feedback whether these words put into proper place while we writing or not. I couldn't afford money because I am poor; however, I want to improve my academic writing test now and my future career path. So, want to interact with you, and during lockdown I am preparing my PTE test with desire score 65 in each section. Can I join with your Facebook page and have there an opportunity to me for getting feedback from you. Here, teachers are not so qualified as you are I thought and kindly request to you for better feedback. Thank you so much!!

    I have a doubt?AS IF
    Are these Sentences correct?
    Do you agree with this?
    Could you please tell me?
    After as if and as though we often use a past tense with a present meaning. This shows that the comparison is unreal. A present tense, on the other hand, shows that we are talking about real and possible situations.
    1)She talks as if / as though she knows everything. (Perhaps she knows everything.)
    2)She talks as if / as though she knew everything. (But she doesn’t.
    3)They look as if / as though they know each other. (Perhaps they know each other.)
    4)They look as if / as though they knew each other. (But they don’t know each other.)
