vandoiemve

Hi, Adam!
First of all, thank you so much for your amazing grammar lessons, I really enjoy watching them!
And I have a question, may you please make it clear for me? I’m little confused with the sentence “Many students…”, where there are two ajective clauses. You have used the commas with the first clause and haven’t with the second one, which means the first – modifying and the second – defining. Isn’t it other way around? ‘Cause “that’s going around” is just an extra information about the flu and “who went on..” is an important addition defining the students.
Am I wrong? Thank you in advance:)

Bra1n

Hi Brain,

The flu that’s going around is specific to the current flu, not the sickness in general. As for the first adjective clause, you could say it’s identifying, meaning you can remove the commas, but technically we identify them as the kids in Mrs. Reynold’s class, and the fact that they went on the field trip gives extra information to suggest where they might have gotten sick.

Does this make sense?

Adam

I got 8, I’m feel ok ´cause I think is a little hard to understand, but thanks was really interesting.

jfbga

10/10 , thanks very much Adam.but i still have not understand why in this quiz you put the question “There are two types of adjective clauses?” , while in the lesson ” Dependent clouse ” you said there are 3 types : identifying , non identifying , and situational ?
i repeat my thanks, and i’m glade to be with you.
(-_-)

struggleForEng

Good question Struggle. Technically, the situational is non-identifying. I guess I wanted to separate it for the lesson to show another function (i.e., not to a single noun but a whole phrase.)

Adam

i don’t know how to thank you. those lessons helps me very much, and it is very kindness to reply me

struggleForEng

Hey, Adam, why does your face get read when you talk about your grammar fanaticism :-)?
I’m a fan of grammar too (of Spanish grammar) and I think your lessons are brilliant (and, even, fun!). Thank you very much!

Fernando Moreira

-Gasoline only allows the carburetor to run smoothly when mixed with about fifteen times its wight in air (no comma)
-only when mixed with about fifteen times its wight in air does gasoline allow the carburetor to run smoothly. (no comma)
-when mixed with about fifteen times its wight in air, gasoline allows the carburetor to run smoothly (with comma)
right ?

sara sab

Yup :)
Good job. (the only thing is that the last example doesn’t have the qualifier ‘only’ which subtly changes the meaning).

Also, weight.

Adam

Some confused!

Khadar10

Adam I’ve heard many times that “WHOM” sounds a little strange nowadays.

KATRIN777

It’s formal, so some people think it’s pretentious. Nevertheless, it is correct :)

Adam

Hello, Adam. I really like watching and listening to your lessons, hopefully, one day I should become as good as you are. I am to become a teacher soon, I have one year left till graduation, and I would like to ask a question. When we did grammar, we were generally taught that for expressing possession “whose” is mainly used for animate objects (i.e. people), and “which” for inamiate objects (not living things). During your lesson, you used an example sentence like “the car whose left door is sratched…”. Let me demonstrate with these:

The man whose car got scrathed yesterday lives next door.

In this sentence, the adjective clause “whose car got scratched” identifies the man (as it is a defining/restrictive relative clause). That’s OK. But have a look at these two sentences:

[1] The house whose roof leaks is very old.
[2] The house the roof of which leaks is very old.

Clearly, the house is an inanimate object, so which of the two sentences (relative pronouns, to be more exact) would you say is more correct or frequent in the situations when the possession is related to a thing?
I also know that “that” can be used to refer to people, as it sounds more general in certain situations, like in:

[3] Martha has a baby that cries a lot.

Let me know what you think about these.
Thanks in advance for your reply.
Regards.

Mare79

Hi Mare! I guess you should read a lot. And not only grammar. Sorry.

KATRIN777

Hi Mare,

For some people the ‘who’ in ‘whose’ is hard to get over. They feel it doesn’t make sense to use it with things, but it’s just a possessive, and things do have things belonging to them

As for your examples:
[1] The house whose roof leaks is very old.
[2] The house, the roof of which leaks, is very old.
Notice that I added commas in number 2. Preposition + which is always going to be a non-identifying clause. #1 is identifying. Both are correct, but serve different purposes.

As for ‘that’, it can be used for people. Keep in mind, though, that a baby can be a boy or a girl and until its gender is identified, the baby is an ‘it’, which makes the ‘that’ easier to use.

Hope this helps.

Adam

Thank you Adam for making all this clear for me. I used to get confused with them. I got 08/10.

PrymFlower

Excelent! thank you Adan.

frankleon

The more you explained to me, the more frustrated I felt. Although you explanation was very good, this is an advance lesson that I was hardly able to understand. Where can I get more explamples like these ones?. I need to practice a lot.

CART

Hi Cart,

You should probably get yourself a good grammar book. I recommend English Grammar in Use, by Raymond Murphy, or Fundamentals of English grammar by Betty Azar.

I will make more videos about this stuff as well ;)

Adam

hello Mr.adam im still struggling on this grammar, the book you recommend us here where we can found it thank you.

abdelkarim

thanks Adam,I’ve got 7/10.Although i used get confused got something for me, from your nice lesson.

Thank you so much about your quiz,about which I only got 6 points.
Is it correct?

Sonice

Hi Sonice,

… in which I got only 6 points.

Keep practicing. It’ll be 10 soon enough :)

Adam

Hello Adam!

Thanks for the video. It is quite useful, indeed. I also love grammar (no matter the language), that is why I appreciate your lessons.

Besides, I did’n know the pronoun “whom” could’t be used as a subject, but only as an object. I though it was just a formal version of the pronoun “who”. I thank you for putting some light in this point. ;)

Bye for now!

Eduardo França

Hi Mr. Adam, i want to know what is the wrong in this sentence”I regret to have damaged your book”

Great lesson

kaiovinnicius

OMG!I unexpetedly got10/10.It was such a wonderful Lesson teacher you really make the hardest things so easy for us.Teacher please make a video on understanding quotations it really troubles me to understand like the one I read by Tao Yuanming “An human life how should it not be hard?from ancient times there was none but had to die” although it has very simple sentences but I am still unable to understand it rather my mind just stop working after going through a combination of such weird sentences teacher please explain me its meaning and also I don’t know how to use this expression “Come to think of it” in my conversations.

eichi

Hi Eichi,

I think I’ll need a bit more context for the Yuanming quote. Can you give the sentence before this one?

Come to think of it basically means actually…, or Now that I think about it…
It means that the point of discussion has led to a new idea.
:)

Adam

Thank you so much Teacher for the explanation,as for the sentence before the quotation,I actually came across this quotation in a drama.i can send you the clip of that part of the drama but since there isn’t any option here so I will try to send you that on twitter.

eichi

THANKS adam your lesson is really good.

sayub

Hello Adam can you explain difference between words devotion, commitment, loyalty, fidelity, faithfulness?

RomanDeity

Hi Roman,

devotion means giving yourself to something (a person, an idea, a movement, etc.)
commitment is more of a promise to continue with something, someone, a relationship, etc. (more to the promise than to the person/thing receiving the promise)
loyalty means not leaving someone (or a company, etc.) Sticking by someone’s side even in hard times.
fidelity means not cheating or betraying. staying with one thing.
Faithfulness is similar to fidelity.

Actually, all of these can be synonyms in certain contexts.

Hope this helps a little.

Adam

Hi Adams How are you? I hope you are doing well.
Adam my question is what is the difference between wake and awake? and when must I use them? are they interchangeable?
Thank you!!
best wish!

the best

Hi The Best,

wake is a verb that you do to someone (or to yourself), and awake is an adjective (not asleep) or a verb in which a person leaves sleep (she awoke to the sound of laughter).

They are not interchangeable.

Also, wake can be a noun meaning the ceremony after a person dies (be careful as this is called ‘a wake’–two words).

Adam

Thank you, Adam!

the best

Thank you a lot, Adam. You really creared this up for me! I absolutely admire your videos btw :)

RomanDeity

Hi Teacher Adam. Please make a lesson (react vs respond). Thank you!

Lou

I’ll see what I can do Lou :)

Adam

Thanks a lot! This class is just what I needed cause I’m studying this topic in my course.

I got a question about the quiz. In question 7 I chose ‘which’ because, in the textbook I use, it’s mentioned that you can use ‘that’ or ‘which’ indistinctly for things. And I thought that rule could be used for ‘Macbeth’ that is a play in the example. (Sorry if I made a mistake, I’m improving my English).

Well that’s it. Thank you again and have a nice week.

Ramiro.

Hi Ramiro,

Remember that Macbeth is a name of the play, so it’s already been identified, so we need a non-identifying clause, which start with comma which.

Adam

The lesson is so great

Thanks for the lesson Teacher! It is very useful to answer questions that have many situations of adjective clause’s applications, especially to improve our writing and reading.

danieldejesus

Thanks Adam, but i want to know about “that’s”. does the word “that” (pronoun) should use ‘s?

Fahriza Fauziansyah

Hi Fahriza,

That’s can only be a reduction of that is or that has. It is never a possessive.

Adam

Hello my loveliest Teacher!! I was listened for a several time this video and now it’s clear!

NiniDumbadze94

Thank you very much!

NiniDumbadze94

Hi Adam: Is it right to use “more than one tense in a sentence”? For example: I have analyzed the report, but I did not find it useful. I am not sure whether this sentence is correct or not. I would appreciate if you clarify this in one of your lesson.

jatin123

Will do Jatin :)

Hi Mr Adam,
I love the way you taught us ,that makes it easy to understand which is absolutely fabulous. I do appreciate in advance for those relative clauses you taught us because I was always struggled to figure them out how are they functioned in my writing but now I fell different on that issue and again thanks a lot for sharing that knowledge.

Hello, Adam. Your lesson is vivid and makes a deep impress on me.I have a question about relative clause
7. The class was taken to see Macbeth __________ is one of Shakespeare’s most popular plays.
Why is the answer B not A?
And what does it mean about non-identifying? Thank you.

What type of clause is this?

” With his wife’s disappearance having become the focus of an intense media circus, a man sees the spotlight turned on him when it’s suspected that he may not be innocent. “

Tarikwayne

Adam, you said that we shouldn’t use ‘whom’ with a verb. What about this sentence:
WHO/WHOM will help the book?
thank you in advance

machluck

sorry, I’ve had a mistake
question: WHO/WHOM will the book help?
assertion: the textbook will help the students

Sekkat aziz

Hello Mr Adam,
can you please explain to me
what is the difference between those sentences:
I want to play
I wanna play
what more Appropriate?

souhaa

want to =wanna ,same meaning,but “wanna”is usually used in oral English. when you write ,using “want to “is more proper.

Patrick Fan

Hi Adam! Thanks for this important lesson, which was taught so majestically!

Fabio Cicerre

For curiosity and comparison, in Portuguese there is a relative pronoun with possessive function, “cujo”, similar to “whose”, but that we can’t use in cases when the possessor is a thing. This is what the formal grammar says, but nowadays, anyway, almost everyone uses with a thing as the possessor.

Fabio Cicerre

oh my God.i got 9/10 I can’t believe it You’re amazing thank you so much adam

juset

In the example: “Nancy is impatient with detail and routine, which is why she has hired Paul and Mandy to manage her business”. May I replace WHICH IS WHY for That is why ? what’s the difference? thnks!

roxy123

Hi Adam, I have seen all of your videos at least once, many several times. Yet, I can not figure out the correct punctuation for the following sentence and would love your input.

“They’re just dreams,” he keeps on telling himself; even though, they seem all too real.

This punctuation is correct: joining two ICs which are closely linked with a semi-colon and a comma after the introduction words “even though.”

However, I believe that the second IC should be subordinate to the first, and it should modify “dreams.” To me, the second IC doesn’t seem to be a complete thought (something is missing), at least in my mind, but then, I am the writer. What would be the correct punctuation?

Another approach which I was thinking of was to use “even though” as a transitional word linking the two ICs. That would make the second IC (even though, they seem all too real) subordinate to the first, which is really my intent. I want the reader to focus his attention on “They are just dreams,” he keeps on telling himself. That part has the greater punch and is more impactful written in that way.

So, any light you could shed on this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Jose

Adam, I need your help :)
I have the following comment on Facebook: “Every single day, he and Johny Ive come to the Apple’s headquarters in a hope that they’ll see a confirmation from iCloud in which it is said a new user from NY has confirmed his membership in iCloud”

It’s confusing to me whether we need commas before and after “it is said” in the comment.
I understand that it’s possible to rebuild the structure of the comment but I’m interested in whether it is correct or no.

Maxxx89

It would be a good idea to simplify the comment, but I want to be great in complex/multi-clause sentences as well (:

Maxxx89

Hi Adam, I got 7/10, thanks for your good class,it really helpful.
I have a question,
If there are two Dr. Smith in a company, and I want to describe as defining way, for example, “I’ve sent an email to Dr. Smith who works in Reach Department is from Australia.”. Is this sentence correct in this situation ?

martinhsuau82

Hi Adam.I am a little bit confused.We use the definite article ‘the’when the listener/reader knows which thing we mean,so what we say about a noun which has ‘the’ is extra because we know which thing so why do we use defining clause in ‘The man who lives next door is a doctor’.And in’The eccentric billionaire,about whom the public knows little,donated millions to charity,’ we have the definite article ‘the’ but we use a non-defining clause.Thanks in advance

iamnino

Hi Adam, Please correct my below sentence.I tried my best. But Unable to find the correct one.

“I left my previous organization because the project which I was working got over and delivered to the client.”

My doubt:

I left my previous organization. -> Independent Clause.

because the project, which I was working, got over and delivered to the client.-> Dependent Clause

,which I was working, -> Relative Pronoun, talks about my project. And as far as I know, I can set off it by a comma.

Becuase -> I am using it as subordinating conjunction, so don’t want to use Because Of.

Should I use “Was working” or “Had been working”

It would be very nice If you can correct it. I am preparing for an exam, so It will be very helpful to me.

mustafa641

adam, thanks for your video. I just wondering could you please add some videos for how to brainstorming for writing an essay and how to develop main ideas with examples thanks

annie719

hello Adam.
this is my problem.
when I read I find something like this:
noun(1) + verb + noun(2) + an adjective clause
my questions is when there is no “,” between the noun(2) and the adjective clause.
is the adjective clause modifying
the first noun(1) or the second noun(2)?.
I have a example here

“WCF supports publishing service metadata USING formats specified in industry standards”
in this case, USING is modifying to WCF or PUBLISHING SERVICE METADATA
I do not know if WCF is using the formats or PUBLISHING SERVICE METADATA is using the formats.

what you do is awesome, thank you so much
if you recommended a book about this grammar, that would be great

gumuciooscar

hayder_99

The noun clause test, in which I did very wrong, was more theoretical than this one.

armandolara

Very excellent work Adam.

Adam , who taught adjective clauses to me, is an English teacher. What a great lesson Adam. I felt (that) Complex sentences are difficult to understand. But you made them very easy. Thank you so much.

Karthikeya

Thanks Adam.
I feel really lucky to have come across your videos.

Thank you very much!
I loved the Quiz and I’m very happy with your channel!

Fernandamacielpessanha

Love all of your lessons.

hoye

The best part of quizzes is the explanation of each answer. I may be got the answer correctly, but the way of thinking is wrong. Like sentence 9, I thought “whom” was the object of looking for, but the explanation showed otherwise. I value this explanation. Thank you very much.

hoye

You are the best teacher
And I am your new student

Nargis

Adam, Why in the question 9 the relative pronoun cannot be “Who”?

Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown and uneasy lies the head who wears the crown.
Are both of them correct? If not why?

adepa

A very useful lesson i got 80 thanks Mr. Adam your lessons are very informativ
It helps me understanding noun and relative clauses
?

Naufal77

Dear Adam,

I still get confused in terms of the use of “Appositive”

Is “Appositive” a part of noun clause or adjective clause?

here is the case..

John, the most popular polyglot at that time passed away last night.
John, the most inspiring person who attended the event last night passed away.

Those examples make me confused because both of the dependent clauses modify John.

Thank you in advance!

Yadi Supriadi

thank you, it is really helping a lot but I am still confuse between who and whose.

Hello, Adam! I’m confused about word ‘homesick’. In the lesson you use it as a disease. But doesn’t it mean ‘feel unhappy because you’re away from home’?

THWMOTP

Hi my teacher.i got 9 out of 10. In one of the questions the noun was ‘the man’ that the noun clause of which was defining. I think the man is a man that the listeners know who he is. So why the noun clause had to be defining? For example the man that…. not the man , who…

MOHAMMAD

Sorry the adjective clause of which…

MOHAMMAD

Hi!

Thank you for everything!!

In your example sentence: “Frank went to study in Boston”, the preposition ‘in’ really confuses me; could it be ‘to’?. If not, what is the difference?

Thanks in advance ;).

Gabriela Rivera

I would like to borrow the lesson and the exercise, Sir. Thank you!

Hello Dear Adam. Thanks a million for your Grrrrreat training videos. They are FANTASTIC! I mean it. When do you make your new videos about embedded clauses and reduction phrases? please can’t wait to watch them… please at least answer me hear soon. Thank you :)

farshidzarghamy

Thank you very much Mr. Adam, which means the lesson is good.

Alex-1956

Thank you Mr. Adam, this lesson is really helpful and I got 10 out of 10. But could you do a lesson about the differences between spoken and written English? In writing, I have time to check my grammar. But when it comes to speaking, it’s hard for me to remember these grammar rules…:(

BillWang

Hi Adam.thank you for great grammar lessons.I have two questions.In this sentence:”There are a growing number of British students going to study abroad”,”growing” and “going” are adjective participle?
how can i write this sentence in another way?
I mean i want to write this sentence with adjective clause to better understand

hamide63

Mr.Adim this example (larry failed his test,which mean that he’ll have to go to summer school ) is it defining or non defining ?

Lolo mm

Thank u very much❤?

Thank you Adam. These are so useful for me!

1996109zyp@gmail.com

thanks for your great teaching, Adam. I did the quiz and answered all of them correctly, but I got 80 because of the first question. I chose relative clause for another name of adjective clause, but it says reflective is correct. I think there’s a problem with the answer specified

Mustafa Sharafi

Thank you, Adam. I have got 6/10.

Hello teacher Adam, the lesson was very helpful for me. Thank you!

manou85

Hi there
thnx for this video. I can’t catch when a comma is used before a relative pronoun. could u explain it plz? thnk u in advanced dear sir.

Raha.Sadat

Hi Adam. Thanks for the lesson. One small thing I’d like to ask because you forgot to mention that do we put commas every time with preposition with a relative pronoun. Like the example “The eccentric billionaire, about whom……, donated millions to charity. Thank you.

Don mk

Hi Adam, I really very confuse with restrictive and No restrictive adjective clause.
the teacher for example write one sentences and we have find the adjective clause, noun being modified, type of adjective clause what is the verb in the adjective clause, the subject of the verb (who is the agent), the object of the verb who is the receiver of the action, relative pronoun as; subject relative pronoun and object relative pronoun and an you make a reduction of the relative pronoun (y/n).
all in one sentences
example:
Some firefighters never meet the people whom they save

Jenny Bermeo

Hi Adam, I really find your lesson helpful for me. Thanks alot , I’ve got 9 out of 10. I chose wrong 10 by mistake.
But I have problem please reply me, my question is—
Combine using relative clause
Q1. He is speaking to the people in English. The people do not know English.
Please suggest me appropriate way

Hi Adam

Tnx i appreciate your teaching.

palishah

Hi Adam!
In your video you are talking about how the relative pronoun „which“ can identify an entire clause. Would you call it a „Sentinental relative clause“ or is that something different?

Sopht18

Hi Sopht18,
i’ve never heard about „Sentinental relative clause” before. Could you expand your thought?

marcin95

Thank you, Adam, for your classes amazing than ever.

Marta Lucia Camacho Bello

Hi,
i’ve just completed the quiz before watching the video. As I got used to it.
I don’t want to brag since i’m used to being a modest person. But i got 10 out of 10.

Hello,I have a question,would you please check the below sentence and answer me whether comma is put correctly or not.
“An american family paid the highest amount of money for special goods and services($250),which went up to $270 over ten following years.

I did the quiz with one of my student she said the question of comma is hard (but it,s difficult to make the difference between french and english…

Devu.vid

Thank you for the lesson, Adam. I am still working hard until I could see the beauty of English :-) Clauses are hard to conquer for me.

misogun

Hi Adam, I am very confused between these two, which one is correct?
A) Yesterday I met one of my old friends who was with me in school.
B) Yesterday I met one of my old friends who were with me in school.

In my opinion, I think both are correct. But my English teacher says that ‘B’ is correct.

You are the only one around the world who can solve it. Whatever you will answer i will show to my teacher.

Thank you. I love your teaching Adam.

Yashwant Kumawat

Viktoria30

hello, Mr.Adam thank you for this nice explanation. Can you help me with how to identify the position relative clause in the sentence as subject and object? Thank you.

Hilarius

Thanks Adam! getting better 9 out of 10!!!
I made a mistake in Q5…I had a doubt on it when I was answering due the comma.

Massimiliano

I’m a little bit confuse between who and whom could you till me what’s the different between them please Mr.Adam

Alaklouk

Hi Adam! Thanx for the video. Why do you put commas in the sentence about the excentric billioner? If we remove the relative clause from this sentence will we get the complite idea about the billioner? If I said the excentric billioner donated bla bla bla you might not understand what billioner I was talking about. Isn’t the relative clause used in this sentence critical for our comprehansion about that billioner?

Eugen Kolbasov

Great lesson, but I am a little confused. I thought the word “that” is identifying and “which” is non identifying. Do you have a lesson on using that vs which?

jdebbiea55

Khairia799

Hello Mr Adam,

I saw the video and did the quiz, it is useful and interesting, but I have a question that can we considered adjective clause and noun clause as an embedded clause .. thank you very much.

Larry7890

Hello from Cambodia!
I understand well. Thank you so much!

chhaihour

Hi Adam!
Thanks a million for this incredible lesson. Your lessons are utterly helpful. ❤

Btw, I have a question as there is still one thing I’m confused about while reading this topic on a grammar book.
How do we generally determine what a relative pronoun’s function in a sentence is?
A way I guessed may be true was to see whether or not the relative pronoun can be omitted. If it was possible to remove it, and yet the sentence made sense, it is the object. Otherwise it’s subject…
Ofcourse I’m not sure about what I said at all, so please tell me if I’ve got it wrong!
Thanks again.

This was much easier than the noun clause quiz. Still didn’t get 10/10 though :(

With that being said, I’m still forever grateful for your lessons, Mr. Adam! You won’t believe how much I’ve improved because of your lessons. Thanks a lot!

Billie Bhaskara

The woman who stole the money from the bank is a criminal. We do not use a comma because since we are identifying which woman it is, therefore, it is necessary to add the information to know which woman.

Jane, who has been shoplifting, is my next-door neighbour. We use commas in this passage to add extra information to the sentence, therefore, it is needed to add a comma. So, it is a modifying adjective clause.

Are my explanation correct for when to add commas and commas to adjective clause^?

Can someone edit my response if there are any errors involved? and when do we use an introductory comma? also when we use therefore in the middle of the sentence do we do ” …., therefore,…”.

Arcix

I didn’t get the 9th correct.

Also, I didn’t understand the explanation given “the man is identified and the object of the verb nicknamed”, please explain in simple words

Many thanks

Hi adam, my question is :
what happens with this sentence”

“I am a fool who sits alone talking to the moon”
What happens with the “talking” . Is it a adjetive participle or what? and “who sits alone” is a defining relative clause?

thank you for efforts. how can we add the adjective clause in case of same period of time. for example: “Few people read this book in 1985. it was published in 1985.”
I hope this gets to you.

Amira Abdulaziz

Hi Adam! What about the second clause in this sentence – what type of clause is it: “It seems like they’re always working late, trying to finish everything on time.” “Trying to finish everything on time” – what type of clause is it? Why do we use -ing in it?

zhang2222222

Hi Mr. Adam
Is it possible to take an online class?

Ahmad Naser

Hello Adam.
Thank you for the great lessons that you’re providing.
I’ve got 10/10 but I am still unsure about my English because I need to practice it.
Although I watch lots of videos, my English doesn’t improve much because, like any language, you have to speak with a native speaker to get better.
Anyway when you gave the example: I am Canadian, I felt depressed because I want to be Canadian too (soon I wish).

Ahmad.T.

This helped me a lot, thank you!

Lovisa

Hi Adam! I am your student. I would like to ask you a question. Is (In which) can be used in Identifying adj clauses?

Shwee Thay

Hello! Adam. I watched this video three times to understand how to use and differentiate between an identifying and a non-identifying clause.
The teacher who posts imperative English grammar information for students, belongs to engvid, and explains how to apply adjective clauses in our writing to perfection is from Canada.
Thanks for your help. (It is ok?)
