Rupert, You are the best English teacher since most teachers out there do not teach advanced grammar or advanced English. Your videos are food for my brain.
Thanks for the lovely comment! Yes, when I started my channel I looked at a number of other channels and noticed most UA-cam teachers seem afraid to teach the most complicated parts of English. It's understandable in a way because there are so many exceptions that even a native English speaker might not be aware of. However, I felt I was in a good position to fill this gap, and I'm glad I am helping people like you. There is one other UA-cam teacher whom I feel really knows English well - Arnel from Arnel's Everyday English channel. Everything I've seen from her has been brilliant.
Great video as usual. Hey Rupert How about talking about something that is hardly ever adressed. Nouns as Adjectives. Car chase, Sports pages, Candy machine, lottery ticket...
Respected sir, being someone who needs no introduction when it comes to the question of English grammar, you are earnestly entreated to work out solution to the following issue that has baffled so many grammarians and teachers -Question -Children are what we make them (Transform this Complex sentence into a Simple Sentence). Question No-2-I will remain where I am (Transform this Complex sentence into a Simple one) Question No -3-They went where living was cheap (Transform this Complex sentence into a Simple Sentence) Question No-4-Tell me what you mean by that (Transform this Complex sentence into a Simple Sentence)
Hi Sanjib! Is it ok if I reply in a slightly different way this time? Instead, could you tell me what you think the answers are first? In my experience, my students do much better if they try first before the teacher gives them the answer :)
1-Children are made in our own fashion/Children are made in the fashion of our own/Children are made,as fashioned by us/Children are made after our own fashion.Ans-2-I shall remain in the same place/I shan't move to another place/There is no question of my moving anywhere/I shan't move on to pastures new/I shan't upped my sticks/I shall stay here.Ans-3-They went to a place with a low cost -living place/They went to a place with a low cost of living/They went to a place, considered cheap to live in/They went to a place worth living in cheaply (cheap)/They went to a cheap -living place/They went to a place cheap to live in.
1. "Children are made after our own fashion" could work, but isn't an exact translation of the example you gave. Perhaps "Children are as we make them"? 2. "I shall remain in the same place" is fine 3. I would prefer "They went to a place that was (is) cheap to live in"
... hi Rupert! ... I am baffled by your sentence "The royal family, of which many people travel to see, live here" ... if it were "The royal family, of which many people travel, live here", it would make sense to me (albeit different)... if it were "The royal family, whom many people travel to see, live here", it would make sense to me too ... also similar structures I see in the thesaurus ("...his will, of which many drafts were made..."; "...national park system, of which many battlefields are part, ..."; "... examples, of which many more could be cited...") seem understandable, but the one of yours appears to me somehow disjointed (sorry 😭)... any explanation will be truly appreciated ... thank you ...
Hi Vladimir! I've looked at this example again and in hindsight I agree - it's a slightly confusing example. The following would be better: "The royal family, of whom King Charles is the leader, is based in London". Usually (with a minor exception), you should be able to move the preposition to the end of the adjective clause with no change in meaning (e.g. "whom Charles is the leader of"). Does that help?
Hi! GCSE English isn't really my specialism - I've seen recent exam papers and they cover areas of style and analysis that are not typically covered in content aimed at improving language ability. If you can find a UA-cam channel by a current UK secondary school teacher, they'd probably do a better job than me. Sorry about that. Good luck with your studies!! Best wishes Rupert 👍🙂
As long as: It's okay to fail sometimes, as long as you learn from your mistakes. As soon as: The best time to go for a morning walk is as soon as one gets up. As a result: The student experienced to rment as a result of academic pressure. As a result: As a result of the protest, the government agreed to make changes. Could you tell me if I wrote all these sentences correctly? It was a wonderful day and there were some great video lessons.❤️😊🙏
Hi, 1) The project was completed ahead of schedule through careful training and execution, allowing for a smoother launch. Which subject Is the reduced present participle clause 'allowing' modifying? What will be the full clause? A) The project was completed........ schedule through careful planning and execution which was allowing..... B) The project was completed.......... through careful planning and execution. The project allowed for..... 2) They pressed on with their plans despite overwhelming obstacles , determined to.... I think the full clause is 'They pressed......... obstacles. They were determined to.....
In 1), A) is the correct option because it links the next clause to the thing being described - "the project" doesn't allow, it's the careful training and execution. However, because it's an individual past event, use "which allowed" 2) you are correct 🙂
Hello. Thank you for your videos. I love them very much but for me, they are too long. I can't watch them completely. Could you, please, do them shorter! I would appreciate it. Thanks!
Thanks for commenting, and I do understand not everyone has the time to watch my videos all the way through. I have plans to make shorter videos on another channel. I will make an announcement on a community post once this is ready 🙂
For serious English learners these videos are priceless. Let them be as long as they have to. It's understood that everyone lives within time constraints, but UA-cam lets us pause and continue watching as we please.
Late actor Charli is bright . Late actor Charli was bright . Sir which is correct ? Late is a past adjective ,so we can use present be verb with it .please explain sir ❤
@@EnglishwithRupert sir ,you said that present be verbs can be used with past adjective to emphasis the idea . ( 100rules tenses video that you made .)
Are you referring to using the present for the "historical past"? It would be possible to use the present tense if you were telling a story about the person. However, if you are giving a description of what the person is generally like without the context of a particular story, then the past is necessary here, because the person's life is now in the past. However, if you are referring to a different part of that video, let me know and I'll try to answer 🙂
@@EnglishwithRupert ok sir , Aforementioned , prior , proceeding ....past adjectives . I need examples using present verb With these adjectives Thanks sir .
Ah, ok! Yes, these adjectives can go with the present tense. "The aforementioned video is currently available on UA-cam" Here, we are discussing a present situation, but we also add some descriptive information that relates to the past "aforementioned". However, the past adjective does not necessarily mean past tense; the adjective describes something that happened to the video in the past, but the video itself is still current, so the present tense can be used.
Thank you very much for this video. It is a great help. On the surface, some don't look conjuctions at all!

Good suggestion! I haven't covered this yet as I've not been sure how to frame it in a short UA-cam video - but you've got me thinking ;)
It's an amazing teaching. Congratulations!

Ans-4-Tell me the meaning of that/Explain your meaning of that/State your questions clearly/Clarify your meaning/Clarify your point/Explain yourself.
1. "Children are made after our own fashion" could work, but isn't an exact translation of the example you gave. Perhaps "Children are as we make them"?
2. "I shall remain in the same place" is fine
3. I would prefer "They went to a place that was (is) cheap to live in"
Although many of these could work, the most literal transformation is "Tell me the meaning of that"
Sir make a video aiming at spoken English . British English patterns ...as soon as possible . ❤
Watch out for a channel I will be launching later this month on speaking skills!
I will make an announcement on my community page shortly :)

Hi,
1) The project was completed ahead of schedule through careful training and execution, allowing for a smoother launch.
Which subject Is the reduced present participle clause 'allowing' modifying?
What will be the full clause?
A) The project was completed........ schedule through careful planning and execution which was allowing.....
B) The project was completed.......... through careful planning and execution. The project allowed for.....
2) They pressed on with their plans despite overwhelming obstacles , determined to....
I think the full clause is 'They pressed......... obstacles. They were determined to.....
In 1), A) is the correct option because it links the next clause to the thing being described - "the project" doesn't allow, it's the careful training and execution. However, because it's an individual past event, use "which allowed"
2) you are correct 🙂

Yes, these adjectives can go with the present tense.

Here, we are discussing a present situation, but we also add some descriptive information that relates to the past "aforementioned". However, the past adjective does not necessarily mean past tense; the adjective describes something that happened to the video in the past, but the video itself is still current, so the present tense can be used.
