Thank you for another helpful video! On a side note, for the second question (i.e., the one concerning "punctuation"), a comma splits the two elements of the correlative conjunction: "not only...., but also...." Considering the subject/verb (i.e., "I would") is placed before the correlative conjunction, the two elements (1. "focus on attendance" and 2. "on academic engagement") are no longer independent clauses when isolated from the sentence. Thus, based on the rules of correlative conjunctions, I am under the impression that it would be erroneous -- or perhaps inappropriate -- to place a comma between the elements.
Just passed the core written (GACE )! Your videos totally made the difference.Grateful and thankful to God gifting you with the ability to reach through teaching. Now I working on the math. Bless you 😊
If I ever see you in public, even if it is highly unlikely, I am going to give you the biggest hug. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!!!!! I find myself saying "wrong, wrong, wrong" now and I am doing so much better on Kahn Academy:) :) :)
I've just discovered you and enjoy how you explain things. But real quick...I am halfway thru this video and need to run out to an appt, but you say "effect" is never a verb. But is that really true? How about "The politicians tried to effect some real change with their new policies." It is seldom used in this way--sort of stuffy, in fact-- but isn't it also correct?
Yes you are correct. However, you most likely will not see it that way on an exam. They are assessing whether you can distinguish between affect and effect in terms of verb vs noun. Thank you so much for being here and have a great day :)

I'm a bit confused by the following example: "For this week's meeting, I would like to not only focus on attendance, but also on academic engagement." Isn't "to not only focus" an example of a split infinitive?
While traditional grammatical rules advise against splitting infinitives, modern usage accepts it, especially when it adds clarity or emphasis to a sentence. In this sentence, the split infinitive is used for emphasis and to parallel the structure introduced by "not only... but also," making it both stylistically acceptable and clear in meaning.
This has helped me so much, thank you! I take my praxis for all three next Thursday and could use all the help I can get. I want to order your book, is there any discounts you can offer?

I have enjoyed your videos, but I disagree with this sentence being called correct: "For this week's meeting, I would like to not only focus on attendance but also on academic engagement." Yes, you corrected "weeks" correctly, but there is a parallelism issue. What follows "not only" should match grammatically with what follows "but also." What follows "not only" is "focus" and what follows "but also" is "on." They are not the same part of speech. The sentence should read: "For this week's meeting, I would like to focus not only on attendance but also on academic engagement" or "For this week's meeting, I would like to focus on not only attendance but also academic engagement."
I've been praying to Heavenly Father to pass the Praxis, and you popped up on my UA-cam search! Thank you so much for your videos.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching😊

Thank you, and you are correct. My parallel structure is off. Thanks for your feedback :)
