That was a super lesson about gradable adjectives, which included a lot more useful information. It is important to be proficient and knowledgeable in the subjects discussed. Hopefully students will never say "very bigger" again. Absolutely Awesome but not Wholly Unappreciated. Thoroughly Terrific but not Woefully Inadequate. That wasn't a quiz. I was merely thinking up new names for members of a certain website. Super Thanks is here, so get down and boogie! Donations can be as small as £2, and, just like buses, two tend to come along at once. It is the nature of the beast.
Thumbs up! Thanks for clearing up some confusions on gradeble and non gradeble adjectives. Watching it one time isn't enough, I guess. The hardest part in English is the order of adjectives, I guess so. I will watch it over and over until it is reinforced into my memory by pausing. I have been watching your videos for quite a while. They are quite different from the pack. You rock!
Yes, I had to go over my own notes and examples many times. The mistakes aren't always easy to avoid. For me, a challenge is explaining when we can and can't (or shouldn't) reduce an adjective clause. Thanks for watching.
Hi Jennifer! Thanks for making our English study easier than ever! The arguments put forth by the politicians were absolute nonsense. I would say bigger goals require bigger sacrifices. The strangest thing was that he didn't even look at me. Your phone seems costlier than mine. Doing household chores is the most tiring thing for me. We had a great vacation last week. Neil Armstrong was the first man in the history of mankind to reac the moon. The most important thing for her was to look after her ageing parents. The police tracked down the car used in the crime. Her role in the movie made it all the more entertaining. The climate change cries for even more bolder measures than before. He was very ecstatic to learn he has been promoted by the boss. That guy in the corner looks very strange. He was honoured to be a part of the most fascinating experience. Please check! Take care!
Super examples! Note that I'd suggest "more expensive" when talking about phones. "Costlier" is the correct form, but less preferred for that context. One mistake might be costlier than others. Typo: reach the moon No article for "climate change." Mistake: more bolder. Just use "bolder." Mistake: He was very ecstatic to learn he HAD been promoted by the boss.
HAHAHAHA I do that same 'trick' with my students (B2-C1) from time to time. Usually, it's with missing articles, and they are always shocked at how they overlooked the errors. By the way, LOVED learning about the use of 'ideal' here.
Yes, we can work in errors seamlessly with some forethought. By the way, I'll be reflecting on my examples with reduced adjective clauses. They really threw me for a loop. They're not the standard examples you'll see for reducing adjective clauses, but I know these structures are used in spoken and written English. I just have to determine why. I'm going to explore this in my weekly blog post tomorrow. Hope you'll check it out after it's published. englishwithjennifer.wordpress.com/ Happy teaching!
Your wonderful short videos have always been insightful. William lane craig's ideal argument for God's existence is objective moral values. I Hope my examples are right. Thank You so much for your awesome detailed explanations.
You're very welcome. Thank you for sharing examples. "Wonderful short" is correct. I like seeing "insightful" as a subject complement. Good! "Objective moral values" seems correct in order, but I question if morality is very objective. Kind regards!
Yes, of course. You need to read and listen to comprehensible input. However, there are different kinds of listening. Sometimes you listen just for general understanding. It's okay not to understand every word. When you listen for details, you should listen more at your level. You may like the resources on esl-lab.com
Jennifer I've a question For you !! As an intermediate learner of english, could i listen To giant english speakers such as William Craig,hitchens Christopher, Barak Obama, Jordan Peterson....and still benefit From them or am i juste wasting my Time bcs their language is often complex !!
You can listen to fast speech and focus on the general meaning. If you have the option to adjust the speed and refer to a transcript, that helps for a more careful listening. Then you can go back to the natural speed and listen without reading.
Useful lesson on common mistakes of adjectives. The ordering can placement of the qualifier can add weight to communication.. (It is hot as hell here in Delhi. Saw a three hour movie 'Teheran" on Apple TV.... gripping narrative on anoffence and defense duel of Israel and Iran spooks .. Practiced my Persian, surprised that even with my liimited vocabulary I could manage to get the sense of the plot).
Persian seems like a difficult language to learn. I'm impressed! Thank you for watching my lesson. You may enjoy the in-depth discussion on my blog. The ink is in the video description (towards the bottom). Regards!

Can most be an adverb? If so, maybe the most supalative adjective noun can be written.
"Most" is indeed an adverb: It's [very] interesting. = I find it [most] interesting.
