Practice video: Embedded questions in English | Grammar
This is a practice video. It is recommended you should complete the lesson at ua-cam.com/video/8IYWIDwxeVA/v-deo.html before completing this practice.
About the lesson: Embedded questions are “inside” sentences or other questions. They may “look” like questions, so it is easy for English-language learners to get confused and build embedded questions as actual questions. In this lesson, learn the differences between interrogative, negative, and affirmative sentence structure; then learn how embedded questions are not really questions. This way, you can build complex sentences in English correctly.

      In reading courses, "main idea" refers to the main point of a paragraph. It is what you build the paragraph around. The "thesis statement" refers to the main point (or central point) of the whole text or essay. Thanks for watching! I hope you enjoyed the video :D

    Correct usaage of each " Intensity of Verbs aer not explain very well. Too it is a verb but I don't know the exact correct usage. Very it is either a verb or adverb in the sentence formation again in your explanation is I don't know the correct usage. So another intensity of verb but I don't know exactly the correct usage in the sentence formation. Therefore, in your next lesson presentation is you must explain it to us each intensity of verb correct usage with a percentage fraction such as 25% 75%, or 100% .
