The passive with "get" > GET + past participle Example: get lost, get tired of GET is usually used with dynamic verbs: get hurt, get fixed, get approved... Stative passives are generally formed with BE + past participle (+ preposition). The prepositions are often not "by." > be acquainted with, be known for...
@theaashishjayant I'm happy you can watch my videos anytime you want. :) I'm even more glad that they're helping your studies. I have several playlists. Click on "playlists" on the top menu to see them all. You can also access each playlist through my website. Let me know if you still run into trouble.
@Siddharthayoga Thank you for making my lessons a part of your studies for so long. The gift I receive from you and all the other viewers here is priceless. You fill my work with meaning and purpose. I'm grateul that you all allow me to grow each year. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
A good learner's dictionary will tell you the grammar for each word. Learn the grammar for any new word. More examples: I'm happy TO SEE you. It's good TO TALK to you. It's nice TO SEE you. (all adjectives + infinitive) More examples: I'm opposed to USING profanity. I'm used to SPENDING time with my children at night. I'm committed to HELPING language learners. (all past participles + TO + objects/ gerunds) Hope that helps!
@Dr123Mahmoud Well, in a religious context, it's a statue that people worship. Today, "idol" means someone who is admired and loved by many. We often talk about a "teen idol" -- Justin Bieber is a teen idol here in the U.S. and in other countries.
@botamoh Thank you for the suggestion. Giving customized directions for sound production is what I often do in private lessons. Students sometimes share pronunciation difficulties, but also there are problems that are more specific to learners of the same first language. Getting learners willing to record themselves on camera for YT might be a challenge, but I'll keep the idea in mind. :)
@shailu210 The stative passive makes use of the past participle. Example: The song is associated with New Year's Eve. (associated = past participle) It's clearer to see the past participle as a modifier (an adjective) when it comes before the noun. Compare: a. I'm married to a Russian. (stative passive = participle + preposition) b. She's a married woman. (married = The participle "married" modifies "woman."/ modifier + noun)
@botamoh Good question! Maybe another teacher will add an opinion as well. My thoughts are that many verbs probably can be written in the passsive and stative passive, but one form has to be more frequent. Look at "married" as an example. I think the stative passive (They're married.) must be more frequent than the passive with a by-phrase (There were married by a priest.) There's also the passive with "get" (= become) and it uses the P.P. as an adjective: They got married.
You can post this kind of question on the community forum on my website. to + base form of the verb = infinitive / to + (-ing) form of the verb = a gerund You have to know how to use vocabulary. Take it one word at a time. For example, the verbs WANT and NEED can be followed by the infinitive: I want TO HELP. I need TO WORK. The phrasal verb "look forward to" uses "to" as a preposition. Only a noun object can follow. A gerund behaves like a noun, so: I look forward TO SEEING you.
@theaashishjayant There is a basic grammar playlist with very simple lessons on things like the verb BE. For you, I'd recommend the main English Grammar playlist. browse through and select the topics you wish to study. Then you can move on to the Advanced English playlist.
@superegyknight Thank you. This was my holiday gift to the wonderful ESL community here on TH-cam. :) Best wishes to you and your family in the New Year!
@Htun691 Thank you! Well, I can play a piece if I practice enough and if it's not too hard. :) I hope your holidays are filled with joy! Happy New Year!
By the way: You are a fantastic teacher... I've learned a lot with you... not only grammar, but you have an interesting way to teach American culture!!! Thanks a lot!
Dear teacher could you please write the full version of >With the past participle being used to describe the subject< I can’t understand reducing participial phrases very well. Greetings from Ecuador 👨🏽🚀
Hello. I have a series on adjective clauses, and there is a lesson on how to reduce them. I also have some lessons on how to reduce adverb clauses to phrases in my advanced grammar playlist. www.englishwithjennifer.com/students/yt-videos/ By the way, on Patreon, we just had a group lesson on forming adjective clauses and reducing them, and there are two practice tasks they're doing this week. You're welcome to sign up for $10/month and try membership. We have two more live events in February.
@dfontoura39 In grammar, there often aren't rules but patterns. The basic pattern for the stative passive is to express a state or condition, not an action. Yes, people can make associations, but "being associated with (something)" is treated as a state, a description of the subject. I think it would be natural to say, "In the minds of Americans, the song is associated with New Year's Eve." Happy New Year to you!
@pifviva999 I'm glad you appreciate my efforts! I'm okay on the piano. Nothing close to professional, but I can play music if it's not too complicated. Since it's the holidays, I thought it would be fitting to have festive music. :)
Hello. The stative passive doesn't have to have a prepositional phrase, but it often does: 1. She's married (to a lawyer). 2. It's surrounded (by water). 3. They're divided into parts. 4. It's located in the South.
@botamoh One more thought: Azar and Hagen (authors of one book among my listed sources) call the stative passive "non-progressive passive." This is helpful, too, because it reminds us that we're not dealing with an action. More examples: be located in, be accustomed to = The P.P. has to be an adjective in these examples. If a city is located in the north, we can't say that the city was located BY the north. "Located" is a state, not an action. Same with "accustomed." Understand?
Dear Teacher Jennifer, Thank you so much for the video lesson about Stative Passive. A subject matter which I have never been taught at school. I`m truly grateful to you. The video lesson is very exciting and interesting. The way you elaborate the topic is mind-blowing. This makes me watching the video twice. The exercises are very insightful. They help us to have a better understanding of the lesson. To sum up, it is a well-prepared video lesson. You are a good and excellent English teacher. I am pleased with the song Auld Lang Syne. A song which I have never known and heard. It is enjoyable to end a lesson in such a way. This shows that you have the art of teaching. Hopefully, you are used to getting well with your piano. All the best to you. Kind regards, Fazil
Thank you for the heartfelt appreciation, Fazil. :) My colleague did a wonderful job singing and playing the song at the end. I was happy to have her contribution. She's a creative teacher too. ;) I now have a new piano (well, it's used, but it's new for me) and I play more often. th-cam.com/video/pUzQoIJ3NQ0/w-d-xo.html Corrections/suggestions: Hopefully, you are getting on well with your piano playing ( = doing well and making progress). Hopefully, you're getting used to your new piano. (If you're aware that I now have one.) "Used to getting well" isn't clear. Take care!
Dear Teacher Jennifer, Thanking kindly for the corrections/suggestions of " get used to + verb ing form ". In fact, it was an error of typing. At that time, I was in a hurry and did not pay particular attention before clicking. Once again, as always I commend you as an experienced English teacher. You immediately respond to an error. That sounds great ! I would be obliged if could make a detailed lessons about the verbs patterns of : used to, be used to , and get used to, which many students are very often make mistakes of their usage. Would mind letting me know if your friend, who is a teacher too, is making video lesson. I look forward to seeing you in other video lesson soon. With kindest regards, Fazil
Hello again. Here's a link to an older lesson. Look in the video description for a link to an interesting discussion on my ELT blog. th-cam.com/video/H7a5OdSYNwI/w-d-xo.html My friend teaches at a university. She doesn't have a YT channel. Who knows? Maybe one day she will. :)
Thank you so much teacher Jennifer for sharing all your youtube videos... thank you so much for your passion, in teaching the whole world in speaking in English... I admit that I really learn a lot from you... you explained it very well and very clear... compare to the other English Grammar Lesson that I have already watched from youtube... May the Lord GOD continue to bless you more and your family as well... Mr. Ferdinand (from the Philippines)
Dear Jennifer, thank you for all your lessons. You are an excellent teacher of English. I`m a teacher of English, too but I`m not a native speaker, I`m Serbian and learn from you English and also how to teach others. I appreciate both your knowledge and enthusiasm. Thanks to this lesson of yours I`ve learned about Auld Lang Syne and I`ve done some research on it and I`ve taught my student this song. Also I played your video and the interpretation by your friend. My students are delighted by the song and some of them like the version by your friend best among many that I played for them including Rod Steward, Bony M, Slade, Bruce Springstine and Suzanne Boil`s version. I wish you all the happiness in the world and I`m looking forward to your new lessons. Warm regards from Nada from Serbia
Hello Nada. Warm greetings to you and your students! I'm very glad my videos can support your instruction. Pamela Vittorio is also my co-author for Book 3 in Next Generation Grammar. She's very talented in many areas, so I couldn't resist the chance to have her sing in one of my videos. I'm glad you liked that version, too. Happy New Year! May 2014 be kind to you, your family, and your students! Regards, Jennifer
Dear Jennifer, thank you for your commenting. I`m fond of your lessons and I`m going to keep watching them and if you don`t mind use some of your ideas and ways in teaching. I like your series with Natasha. Both of you are so sweet and natural. I`ve found an inspiration how to approach my students. I`m pleased to get to know about you and your lessons. Thank you for your efforts and enthusiasm. Warm regards from my students and me, Nada
Nada Nada Hello dear Nada! Please take away as much as you can from the videos. If you like my approach, wording, activities, or whatever, please make use of them. Many of my video descriptions have links to additional resources for teachers. My WordPress blog is devoted to teaching tips, handouts, and more. If you like incorporating culture into your lessons, you may like the Language Notes playlist. There are materials on WordPress that accompany those lessons. Have a wonderful day! :)

@02sanja With strong support like yours, Brig, I can definitely continue in 2012 and beyond. :) Be well, be healthy, be happy! May many joys be yours in the New Year!
Hi Jennifer, I must congratulate you gave me a hop and power of learn. I learned so much but more important you gave me the confidence to learn. I think you're the right teacher we looking for. Good video Best lesson and Great teacher! Please accept my best wishes on the occasion of Christmas and new year. Thank you Jennifer!
@sultan23b I think the New Year can fill us all with hope, Sultan. Certain events appear along our path, and for a time they can make us feel disheartened, but we then have to turn to the sources (both in us and around us) which renew our commitment to life and learning. :) Best wishes to you and your family for a peaceful, healthy, and happy New Year!
@superegyknight Hm. I have to think about all I'd like to do in 2012. With the new channel design on TH-cam, I'm going to have to rethink how I organize everything and provide interaction with everyone. One of my resolutions is to successfully make a transition from the old format to the new one, and make my online resources even stronger. :)
@shailu210 (continued) However, remember that both present and past participles can behave like adjectives. Adjectives can appear before the noun or in the predicate: a. That's an interesting book./ The book is interesting. (present participle as adj.) b. I'm interested in that author's work. (past participle as adj.) c. There's an essay contest. Interested students should request an application today. (past participle as adj.)
Ms. Jennifer, it's really good job..can't say more than thanks alot for your high performance & good effort I'm always looking forward to receving your new vidoes Best Regards from Egypt
Another excellent and well thought out vid, Jennifer! thank you. Please keep up your oustanding work throughout 2012 and beyond! :-) Warm wishes to you and your family for a healthy and wonderful New Year! Brig
Hi Jenifer I'd like to thank you for you've created the very useful videos for us. Wishing you and yours a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. l'll drink to your health, success and prosperity in 2012.
@theaashishjayant Please use my playlists. They group my videos together by subject: grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary, etc. In each playlist the videos appear in the order I posted them.
A very original idea of teaching a boring subject like passive voice.
I congratulate you for your creativity. Its a Joy to learn English this way.
The passive with "get" > GET + past participle
Example: get lost, get tired of
GET is usually used with dynamic verbs: get hurt, get fixed, get approved...
Stative passives are generally formed with BE + past participle (+ preposition).
The prepositions are often not "by." > be acquainted with, be known for...

Please use my playlists. They group my videos together by subject: grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary, etc. In each playlist the videos appear in the order I posted them.
Really I like your presentation and voice culture.
