    I've got to say, as a student of the English language, learning for over 20 years now, that was the most interesting explanation I have watched. Thank you for taking your time to explain it so well.

    I forgot to write an example using the verb "forget" @ "remember" that occurred to me now .
    I remember visiting various puja pandals with my friends during Durga Puja . By the way The Durga Puja is one of the most popular festivals in India and people celebrate it with utmost devotion . The puja goes on for four days .
    Remember to take the umbrella with with as the sky looks dark and dismal .

      Hi, technically they mean different things. A myth is lore based on a people’s history while something false means not true. However, people will say something is a myth to imply it is not true.

    " She survived him for four years". Could you explain the grammatical structure of this sentence cos it doesn't make any sense to me.
    I read it in a book. There is a lady whose husband died in 1727 and after four years of her husbands death.

    • @thelearningdepot
      @thelearningdepot  2 роки тому +1

      Hi Asim, it’s a fairly common construction of subject + verb + direct object + prepositional phrase. If the verb “survived” is throwing you off, then substitute another verb in its place. She “loved” him, she “helped” him, etc. Hope this helps.

    While reading,he slept.
    Please explain the function of while here Please

    • @thelearningdepot
      @thelearningdepot  2 роки тому

      While is a subordinating conjunction that explains concurrent or simultaneous events. The sentence you wrote would need to be adjusted because one can't read and sleep at the same time.
