This is a very good lesson of English 's grammar. It is able to understand easily. Because you can explain very clear.I have brushed up my English today. Thanks you so much.
What an incredible 👏 😍 ❤amazing useful lesson dear professor may God bless you 🙏 we will be waiting on pins and needles to your terrifically interesting video ❤
Thank you sir My exams are near and I didn't understand this topic, but because of this video now I understand this topic Once again Thank you Sir !!!!
You're almost correct. When You Cannot Use "That": Non-Defining Relative Clauses (extra information): My brother, who lives in Canada, is coming to visit. Her car, which is red, broke down yesterday. You must use "who" or "which" in non-defining clauses, not "that."
Yes, I did the exercise well. Thanks for the clear explanation! But example #9 would be written like this: The girl John met at the party last night works in a bank. I hope that's correct!
Teacher, thank you so much for these interesting lessons. Teacher I have two questions: 1)- in the video at 5.11, can we say : the chef from whom I learned the cooking makes delicious food ? 2)- In the sentence (the chef from whom I learned the cooking makes delicious food ), do we have to put commas after the word (chef) and after the word ( cooking) knowing that punctuation plays a big role in understanding ?? Thank you very much.
You have some great questions! Yes, you can switch the main clause and extra info around and make a different sentence. However, the focus of the sentence changes. As for commas, we use them when the information they contain is not necessary. In this example, the information is important, so commas shouldn't be used. Thanks for watching! 🤩🇨🇦
HI About the sentence : A lawyer who specializes in labor law..... i can write: A lawyer who is specialised in labor law .... In fact , it is the verb : to be specialise ! thank a lot for your explainetions.
I have two problems. First, with reletive clause with proposition! I don't know what prepositions must be used and when to use those prepositions! Second When can't we replace which with that? I hope you make a video about them, too. Thank you for your informative video.
Those are excellent questions! 1. Using Prepositions in Relative Clauses: When a relative clause involves a preposition, the position of the preposition can change based on formality. For formal usage, the preposition goes before the relative pronoun (e.g., "the person to whom I was speaking"). In informal usage, it often appears at the end (e.g., "the person I was speaking to"). Common prepositions in relative clauses include to, with, for, and about. The choice depends on the verb or phrase used before the clause (e.g., “the person I am thinking of”). 2. When to Use "Which" vs. "That": "That" is typically used in defining (restrictive) relative clauses, where the information is essential to understand the noun (e.g., “The book that I borrowed is great.”). "Which" is preferred in non-defining (non-restrictive) clauses, where the information is additional but not essential (e.g., “The book, which I borrowed, is great.”). Note that in American English, "which" can also sometimes be used in defining clauses, but "that" cannot be used in non-defining ones.
Can you please find out gerunds in this paragraph? Hiking through the dense forest, we heard a twig snapping behind us. A deer was grazing nearby. The sun began setting, casting a warm glow on the tree tops. Being in the forest and listening to the sounds of nature calmed our souls. We enjoyed breathing in the fresh, earthy air.
Thank you so much! Please can we say in the 8th sentence The girl whom John met at the party last night workes at a bank. All my answers were correct except this one. Amazing video as always ❤
You got all the other sentences right! That's excellent! 🤩🇨🇦 You DO have a partial right answer on that one. The only difference is that you switched the main clause and the relative clause around. As a result, you shifted the focus from John to the girl. In some contexts it might be ok, but in others it might make a big difference in meaning.
The correct sentence is: "The company that launches a new product specializes in tech gadgets." Here’s why: Use "the" when referring to a specific company already known to the speaker and listener. Since we're talking about a particular company that launches new tech products, "the" is the appropriate choice. If you’re introducing a company for the first time in a general sense, "a company" would also be correct.
@@englishspeaking360 15:10 I mean A company that specializes in tech gadgets is launching a new product. Or A company that is launching a new product specializes in tech gadgets. Here which one is correct? I think here both are correct.
Is this example from an online dictionary correct? 'They speak a language akin to French.' It omits 'that is' or 'which is' after the word 'language.' BTW, I enjoy watching your videos a lot!
Yes, you can remove "that is" or "which is" in this sentence without changing its meaning. It would simply become: "They speak a language akin to French." In this case, the meaning remains clear, and the sentence sounds more concise. Both "that is" and "which is" function as relative clauses here, but if they're not needed for clarification, omitting them is perfectly acceptable.
Hmmm... I'm not sure what you mean. If you have only a main clause like "Who did Jun meet?" then WHO can’t be omitted. You can only omit WHO when it is not the subject of a relative clause.
Could you please make a video on how get subtle difference between two words. Because english language has same words with subtle differences. I always find myself unable to understand this.
@indyanatureandpeace5694 Great! I have a playlist with a few similar videos. You might be interested. Here's the link. What is the difference? Words with similar meanings. Comparative grammar. English Speaking 360: th-cam.com/play/PLdDArlpQeGSZ-4waDSqMDPo0HZZg4hCxW.html
@@englishspeaking360 Thanks 🙏. I want you to make more videos on this topic. Some more confusing words are neglect and ignore, begin, start, commence, terrible and horrible, big,huge, enormous, gigantic, massive and so on.
Yes, in this case you would need commas. Commas show that the information they contain is not necessary. In this case: "The man that we saw at the restaurant is a famous actor." there are no commas because the information from the relative clause is necessary. Does that make sense?
I appreciate the love! I teach everything in my videos so I didn't think there was a need for a book. 😉 However, I have a website with easy explanations and extra activities. Check it out when you have time. Englishspeaking360.com
Good question! It's a little technical but here's the explanation. In relative clauses, "that" can sometimes substitute for "who" or "which", but there are rules and subtle differences to keep in mind. 1. Who vs. That "Who" is used when referring to people. Example: She is the teacher who inspired me. "That" can also refer to people in restrictive (defining) clauses, though "who" is more common and preferred in formal English. Example: She is the teacher that inspired me. However, "that" is not typically used in non-restrictive (non-essential) clauses, where additional information is added. Example: My sister, who lives in New York, is visiting. (Correct) My sister, that lives in New York, is visiting. (Incorrect) 2. Which vs. That "Which" is used to refer to animals or things and is common in both restrictive and non-restrictive clauses. Restrictive Example: This is the book which helped me the most. Non-restrictive Example: This book, which I bought last year, is amazing. "That" can replace "which" in restrictive (defining) clauses when referring to things, but not in non-restrictive clauses. Example: This is the book that helped me the most. (Correct) This book, that I bought last year, is amazing. (Incorrect) Summary "Who" is for people; "which" is for things; "that" can replace either in restrictive clauses. "That" is not used in non-restrictive clauses, where "who" and "which" are preferred.
THIS IS REALLY HELPFUL! I have a questionWhy here we can omit "which is". Main: This is an opera in seven parts. Extra: It is based on the trilogy of ancient Greek tragedies by Aeschylus. This is an opera in seven parts which is based on the trilogy of ancient Greek tragedies by Aeschylus. This is an opera in seven parts based on the trilogy of ancient Greek tragedies by Aeschylus. Can i change The dogs that are rescued from animal shelters are very lucky. into The dogs rescued from animal shelters are very lucky. ? THANKS SO MUCH
Yes, you can change "The dogs that are rescued from animal shelters are very lucky" to "The dogs rescued from animal shelters are very lucky." In English, relative clauses with "that" or "which" can sometimes be reduced by removing the relative pronoun (like "that" or "which") and the auxiliary verb (like "are"). This is known as a reduced relative clause. In this case: "The dogs that are rescued" becomes "The dogs rescued." This makes the sentence more concise while retaining the original meaning.
In the first example, "which is" can be omitted to form a reduced relative clause. When we say, "This is an opera in seven parts which is based on the trilogy of ancient Greek tragedies by Aeschylus," we can omit "which is" to create a more concise sentence: "This is an opera in seven parts based on the trilogy of ancient Greek tragedies by Aeschylus." The reason we can omit "which is" is because "based on the trilogy of ancient Greek tragedies by Aeschylus" is acting as an adjective phrase describing "an opera in seven parts." English allows us to reduce relative clauses in cases like this, especially when they describe or clarify the subject. This reduction often improves the sentence's flow and readability by avoiding unnecessary words without changing the meaning.

perfect lesson 👌 does it mean that I can use THAT for any relative clause? I think so 🙏
You're almost correct.
When You Cannot Use "That":
Non-Defining Relative Clauses (extra information):
My brother, who lives in Canada, is coming to visit.
Her car, which is red, broke down yesterday.
You must use "who" or "which" in non-defining clauses, not "that."
The lesson (that/which/ /) I saw this afternoon was important.

Yes, you're right. In that sentence WHOM or WHO can be omitted because it is the object of the relative clause.
Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the suggestion. The subjunctive is not used in English as much as in other languages, but I might make a video about it.

Does that mean we can always use that instead of who or which. Any difference among them🙏🙏🙏
Good question! It's a little technical but here's the explanation.
In relative clauses, "that" can sometimes substitute for "who" or "which", but there are rules and subtle differences to keep in mind.
1. Who vs. That
"Who" is used when referring to people.
Example: She is the teacher who inspired me.
"That" can also refer to people in restrictive (defining) clauses, though "who" is more common and preferred in formal English.
Example: She is the teacher that inspired me.
However, "that" is not typically used in non-restrictive (non-essential) clauses, where additional information is added.
Example: My sister, who lives in New York, is visiting. (Correct)
My sister, that lives in New York, is visiting. (Incorrect)
2. Which vs. That
"Which" is used to refer to animals or things and is common in both restrictive and non-restrictive clauses.
Restrictive Example: This is the book which helped me the most.
Non-restrictive Example: This book, which I bought last year, is amazing.
"That" can replace "which" in restrictive (defining) clauses when referring to things, but not in non-restrictive clauses.
Example: This is the book that helped me the most. (Correct)
This book, that I bought last year, is amazing. (Incorrect)
Summary
"Who" is for people; "which" is for things; "that" can replace either in restrictive clauses.
"That" is not used in non-restrictive clauses, where "who" and "which" are preferred.
I got 9 out of 10
Thanks
That's great! Relative clauses are pretty difficult to master. Keep up the good work!
THIS IS REALLY HELPFUL! I have a questionWhy here we can omit "which is".
Main: This is an opera in seven parts.
Extra: It is based on the trilogy of ancient Greek tragedies by Aeschylus.
This is an opera in seven parts which is based on the trilogy of ancient Greek tragedies by Aeschylus.
This is an opera in seven parts based on the trilogy of ancient Greek tragedies by Aeschylus.
Can i change
The dogs that are rescued from animal shelters are very lucky.
into
The dogs rescued from animal shelters are very lucky.
?
THANKS SO MUCH
Yes, you can change "The dogs that are rescued from animal shelters are very lucky" to "The dogs rescued from animal shelters are very lucky."
In English, relative clauses with "that" or "which" can sometimes be reduced by removing the relative pronoun (like "that" or "which") and the auxiliary verb (like "are"). This is known as a reduced relative clause. In this case:
