I love you my dear lovely
Thank you Lucy 🥰🥰🥰
This is my first lesson with Lucy and im hooked! I like the way Lucy takes her time to explain everything nicely, and so calmly!
Thank you so much for this video! I really needed the reminder not to overuse punctuation.
My native language uses coma splices very frequently, so it's sometimes hard to remember not to write mile-long sentences in English.
I'm curious what your native language is. I'm trying to think of what languages that use a lot of punctuation and can't recall any currently. And I love learning about other languages.
@@MrHoll87 for example, Polish. We love commas.
@@MrHoll87 mine's Belarusian. We looove our long sentences. Extensive use of punctuation isn't exclusive to our language though.
Russians also use comas often
@@notellier Fascinating! I never would have known. So cool learning about your and the other languages mentioned in this thread. :)
I've never heard that last case you described as being an example of the Oxford comma. A quick internet search confirms my presumption that people typically mean the serial comma when they talk about the Oxford comma.
It's a UK framing of the term
Thank you, Lucy. I love this particular lesson of yours !
I was looking for your channel this morning. I'm so glad I found it! I love your videos :)
I am one of the 99%
Me too
Someone has to build this commmunity, right?
Me too
Am I the 1%🙄
And me
Thank you, my teacher has been unsuccessfully trying to teach me what a comma splice is for years. I finally understand it.
I can’t get over how beautiful and perfect Ms. Lucy is. A great teacher as well. You really understand how to speak to your learners as well as model professionalism through your dress, makeup, and hair. Thank you.
Life saver, thanks so much Lucy! This answered many of my wonders!
Congrats, Diego!👍🐾🤗
I needed an explanation of the usage of commas so much, and here it is. Thank you!
In the technical publications/teaching resources (American and British) that I have been involved with the serial/sequential/Oxford comma was always used to ensure clarity.
I really needed this video. Thank you, Lucy.
Good information
And a very clear explanation
all the respect and the Grateful to you
What a wonderful teacher!
Shining bright as always, this one marvelous sunflower. What a display of rare beauty, elegance and kindness. Just lovely.
Whooo..this is very useful for me.. Thank you Lucy for teaching really well 😊 Love you loads ♥️
Thank U for your Magic Lucy!!! You always help me to explain things much more clearly to my sts!! Muchisimas gracias!!!
This is brilliant! Exactly what I needed! Indeed, commas can be so tricky, because British and American English have so many different rules. And fat books on commas can be exhausting too... lol ... Thanks so much, Lucy! Cheers!
Lucy, it's nice to see you again. Love you. You look great!
I suppose today's topic is very useful and informative. Many thanks for your explanation.
thanks Lucy very informative. I am loving your English lessons:)
This lesson is very useful. Thanks Lucy!
Thank you, Lucy, for your dedication and clear English grammar explanation. Moreover that was new for me about "Separating clauses" and five words (nevertheless, moreover, therefore, furthermore, however - 6:07), which cannot be used to join sentences.
Thank, Lucy,you have given a chance us to learn advance grammar.
Thank you Lucy
Congrats on your dog's win and thank you!
Even though comma usage is difficult, you make it easy for us.
I like the matching colours of highlighted text and your jumper.
Thankfully, I'm pretty good at using commas. If I have trouble using a comma, that means the sentence is pretty shaky and it's time to rewrite it for clarity. So I'm not perfect, but pretty good. This was a great refresher for me! A little note: I miss your little dance at the end of your videos; it always made me smile. :)
Thank you so much for clarifying it!
I'm grateful🤗 Thanks Lucy!💚
Thank you so much, Lucy❤️
Dear Lucy,
thank you so much for another advanced lesson! Even as someone who’s been learning English for more than 30 years now, I still learn something new here and there, some bits and pieces through your videos.
I’ve been wondering if you could do a video on ending sentences with a preposition and how British + American English differ in how they treat the matter. Do only 50+ / 70+ people still follow this rule? Does one sound pretentious, snobbish or just old when using it?
Greetings from Germany,
Matt
I'm learned so much about the english sentence comma. 100% Lucy Thank you!!!
It's been since I have beeen studying SAT, SHSAT, ACT and other tests College Board offered even though I'm not a native. Based on those experiences, I now can say I'm not only good at punctuation rules but also love them. Thank you mam
Since you’re not a native English speaker, allow me to help you here:
“Since I have been studying SAT, SHSAT, ACT, and other tests college boards offer; based on these experiences, I can now say I’m not only good at punctuation rules, but I also love them-even though I’m not a native.
Thank you, ma’am.”
👍🏻
@@itsok2bwhiteendanti-whiteh548 Or; "Since I have been studying SAT, SHSAT, ACT, and other tests that college boards offer, I can say that I am now not only good at punctuation but that I also love them; even though I am not a native.
Thank you,
@English-leaners
@@itsok2bwhiteendanti-whiteh548 Oh, I didn't mean it; indeed, I can use them whenever my will pleases so, and I have no problem with my English untill I'm challenged with rather long, old-fashioned passages, texts or obsolete vocabularies
Anyway, thank you
@@ronnietexan Yes I agree. Comma, not semicolon, after "offer". "Damn son must be very young to be calling Lucy Ma'am."
omg, thank you🥰 especially for including AE, too.
Thank you so much for this
It’s useful. Thanks for your clear explanation:)
u have saved my life with these pieces of information. thank u a lot Miss
Simply brilliant!
Thank youuu Lucy for this primordial course . I had no idea that i have been misusing punctuation, eversince i started learning english.
remedial primer?
Many, many thanks and warmest regards from Warsaw, Poland. 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
This topic I often encountered in writing.
I don't use too many commas in a sentence, only in introductory and independent clauses.
Hi Jerome
hi...thanks a lot for your explanation. I really appreciate your kindness and your help
Hello, I am from Bangladesh , and I want to thank you for helping me in my IELTS preparation . Your videos really helped me.Thank you so much.I got my result today.I got 7. Thanks again
Gracias Lucy me encantan tus vídeos
This is an excellent explanation about commas, dear teacher. Thanks a lot for it.😘😘😘
Thank you Lucy. Present a lecture on the topic of articles (a/an/the)
Thank you very much, this helped me as I practiced more and more.
I like it when I watch a video expecting a good content and I find a beyond-supremacy one. Love you, Lucy..
This lesson is simply great. Thank you
Mam, I am thanked you. Because of you,I am speak in english now. i am
from Bangladesh... Love from me💞💞💞💞
Thank you so much teacher 👩🏫 ❤🎉
I am very satisfied with this lesson because I am clear some doubt. Thanks, Lucy.
Very helpful Lucy, even to a native British English speaker like me. Glad to see you're instructing people on the correct use of "however" etc. My only quibble has to do with the Oxford comma. My understanding is that it refers to the one used in a list for the purpose of clarification, which you cover at 2:25 ff.
I had the same reaction! I thought this was great, but wondered about the Oxford /Harvard comma definition, which I’ve only seen defined in reference to using one before a conjunction in a list of three or more.
Thanks for the video lesson !
My favorite English with Lucy videos and vlogs I love it 🥰🥰🥰 I'm from Canada 🥰
Thanks. That was really helpful for me because I did some of them a lot . 💙💙❤❤
Oh, at last I know all the rules of using comma in English)) lt was a real problem, because in my native language punctuation differs.
Thank you very much for useful video!
That was really advanced lesson ;-)
Thanks!
May I say Lucy, that through all these years, I've been using the HiNative platform and it works for me!:) Thank you so much!:)
Thanks a lot for the full report/
This a very useful video.
I've seen many learners overusing commas instead of full stops. They tend to write an extremely long paragraph with one single sentence separating independent clauses by commas.
They must have been Germans..;-)
Good English lesson to explain. Thanks so much🙏
Thank you Lucy you're one of the best
Lucy, you really excelled yourself today.
Ms.Lusy is the impeccable teacher.
Thank you, Lucy, not an easy subject this. Congratulaions on your dog's prize!
So much to know, so many times have I made a mistake. Once again very interesting from Lucy.
My deepest gratitude for your work and in clarifying this topic (may I also enquire if this sentence need a comma?)!
For me She is a really great professora.
This is an amazing lesson Lucy. Keep it up!
You missed a comma! HAHAHA
@@191. 😅
Hi Lucy. Can you also make a video about inversions?
Thank you for this amazing lesson 😇💕
This is so useful for native speakers - thank you! I do prefer the Oxford comma, though.
Thank you Lucy for the informative video.
Hi Mahya
wow , thank you!
The video is so helpful
Loved variations.❤❤
Thanks!
Good morning Miss Lucy
I’d like to ask you to introduce us some idea concerning the use of wish + would or could and the use of wish + past simple . Thank you in advance and after .
How is life treating you dear, I really appreciate your afford on this videos and have improved my vocabulary I might not have money to offer you but one day I will definitely join these courses.
I adore your lessons
Merry X-MAs. happy New Year
Thank you so much for such an interesting lesson! (PS: I just loved your dog's name, Diego, haha)

I saved this Channel√
I haven't had much time to focus on this Channel. I have to make time to watch and learn. I can learn so much from this Channel about Commas, Grammars, and all the other weird little stuff in the english language 🤣 😂.
This one puzzles me: ; ; ; 👈
The Comma drives me crazy, and this one 👉 ; drives me knots😁🤪..
I love this Channel. I will try to spend time almost everyday and watch a video or 2. I'm willing to learn all the stuff on this Channel. Educate myself some more about all the good stuff👍💯💙👏.
Thank you Lucy. Your mighty fine teacher💯💥🤩😉. I love your Channel.
So It Is😇
Nice lesson, thank you.
Usually people learn to use the comma in primary school BUT someone needs English with Lucy!! 😜🤣 I didn't know that different languages use that in different form!! Lucyyy we miss you on your personal YT channel!!!! 😉
Thanks 🙏
Thank you ,very very informative! ,Usage of Comma was negelected to be considered as important by teachers when i studied English skills in schools .
link is taking me nowhere though ,it does not take to any telegram account
I often think about using a colon ( example : ) But I am not sure if I have the _guts_ for it ...
I love your voice a lot
Thanks for this great video
💜 Thank you.
Thankfully, I'm pretty good at using commas.
Is the part about the Oxford comma truly correct? I have always been under the impression that Oxford comma would be the comma before the last item in a list (stylistic option). An example: a dog, a cat, and a mouse (with the Oxford comma) a dog, a cat and a mouse (without the Oxford comma). Some googling verifies my suspicion.
I think the she edited the video with the wrong order. I was also very confused that she mentioned the Oxford comma during the last part of the video.
Ah, so I am not going crazy.
Lucy is almost perfect, but apparently not absolutely perfect!
Lucy is intelligent, lovely, and fallible!
Thank you ,teacher
Very helpful lesson. Thank you very much
