Nice to meet you again, Sarah. I miss your lessons and you all the time. The following is my answer. 1. The man whom I marry will have to be someone really special. 2. The man I marry will have to be someone really special. I can omit whom because it's non-difining relative pnonoun, and man here is object. I hope I am correct. See you very soon, Sarah. Take care.
Hi Nam, Well done! you are right. You could also use who as whom is often replaced by who in English nowadays. See you soon! Thanks for your kind words too!
I love your videos! They are so so useful! If you remember I was actually one of your students in Bellschool! I glad to see you are still making videos!
My answer for question 5: Whom - because it is the object of the verb "marry". Who - though it is not grammatically correct, it is normally used in spoken English. That - it works like "who" here.... though I'm not sure. We can also leave the sentence without these pronouns because they introduce a defining relative clause, essential information.
Hi Cleiton, yes well done! whom, who or that. Who is not grammatically correct but, as you say, very common in spoken English. You can also leave out the pronoun because it is the object of a defining relative clause. Great job!
Hello, thank you very much for this clear explanation. I have one question; some of the sources say that omission of relative clauses (especially participle clauses) can and should be used in formal writing whereas some other sources say that in formal English it is better not to drop relative pronouns. Is omission of relative clauses formal or informal?
Hi Merve, I would say that relative clauses are more formal English and also add a sophistication to English writing that can be used to impress when writing exams. I hope that helps!
What a great lesson 😊🙏 " here is a novel by the writer you and I ( were with - were with whom ) a week ago at the book fair. " Is " were with " the correct answer ? And why ?
Hello teacher! How are you? Thank you very much for this lesson, I think this topic is one of those that strongly can make the difference between speak like a native speaker or like Tarzan :); in fact, I still have some issues with whom vs who ..... to, but anyway. Well madam, I hope you be fine and have a nice weekend (you must be sleeping at this moment :) )
Thanks teacher I like your way to simplify the information.. it is the first time to see your great channel and I think I'll follow it 🌸 Yours sencerly ❤🌸
The man who /that/no pronounce i marry will be vrey special.. Here is defining gives essential info so we can use who refer to a person as well that and we can also omitted because the man here is the object
Nice explanation. I have a question to ask. For describing the personality of a person while narrating a story or an experience from the past, what should one use (past or present)? For eg:Last year, I lost my mother's phone. She was/is a bad tempered woman so, she told me off badly(is or was).or, Yesterday, I met a man. He had/has a good sense of humor. Or, I am not a movie buff but when I realized that he was /is the protagonist, I watched the movie. I hope you understood what I want to ask you . (By the way, please remind me if what I have written has any grammatical mistake.)
Hi Akshat, in the first example, If your mum is still alive and it is still true, I would use the present tense.. she is a bad-tempered woman. In the second example, I would use had aa you are describing meeting someone in the past and you don’t know if he has a good sense of humour now. In the third example, I think you could use either depending on your perspective. I hope that helps!
Hello madam. I recently came across two grammatical structures "It is too delicate of a subject to ask" or "This is too strage a request." Being a non native speaker, they sound kind of strange to me. Hope you help me with my doubts.
Hi Akshat, these are interesting structures, you are right. The use of too is that of an adverb that means to a higher degree than is desirable, permissible, or possible; excessively. So, it is too delicate.... therefore not possible or too strange, therefore not desirable. I hope that helps!
Hi,thank you teacher a hundred time for you fabulous lesson and i do really appreciate your efforts❤ .but isn't a non-defining relative clause : she is writing some great children's books which have got colourful pictures in .
The sentence you provided is actually a defining relative clause. In a defining relative clause, the information is essential for identifying the noun it modifies. If you remove the relative clause, the sentence's meaning would change or become unclear.
I have a little confuse. We have three sentences As:--- 1) THERE is your father. 2 )This is the time when THERE is 'a' book. And 4) This is the time when THERE is 'my' book. What is difference between . Is only difference 'A' and 'MY' YOUR . And In which sentence word "THERE" is working as "Adverb of Place" and as "Dummy subject"
Relatives clauses… adverbial clauses can only modify the main verb in the independent clause while relative clauses can modify any noun in the independent clause.
Which verb will use after the "Where" Beacause after "where" it has no any subject How to decide १ This is the place where is /are not allowed to take pictures. 2। I want to visit where is/are famous
Hi again Sameer, This is the place where YOU/ONE /WE is /are not allowed to take pictures. 2। I want to visit PLACES THAT are famous. I hope that helps. 🙏🏻
Oxford English Now frankly speaking, I lost track of the whole sentence , n therefore could not decide on whom. I'd use whom to split hairs .A Nice piece of advice. Thank you
The man whom I marry will have to be really special. I chose whom because the man is the receiver of the woman marrying him; also, I know that you can use who because whom is no longer widely used in the English language.
Respected Ma'am, being undisputedly the greatest grammarian of this generation, you are earnestly entreated to let me know if the following answers are correct or not -Question -Shakespeare was a great dramatist.He wrote "Othello".My probable answers are -(A) Shakespeare was a great dramatist who wrote "Othello"(B) Shakespeare,who was a great dramatist, wrote "Othello"(C) Shakespeare,who wrote "Othello",was a great dramatist.Do please explain a bit.
I'm pleased to help you with your question. All of your probable answers are grammatically correct, but they convey slightly different nuances: (A) "Shakespeare was a great dramatist who wrote 'Othello'." - This sentence emphasizes Shakespeare's greatness as a dramatist and links it directly to the fact that he wrote "Othello". (B) "Shakespeare, who was a great dramatist, wrote 'Othello'." - This sentence also emphasizes Shakespeare's greatness as a dramatist but adds the clause "who was a great dramatist" as additional information about him. (C) "Shakespeare, who wrote 'Othello', was a great dramatist." - This sentence emphasizes the fact that Shakespeare wrote "Othello" and adds the information about his greatness as a dramatist as secondary. All three options are grammatically correct and acceptable. The choice between them depends on which aspect you want to emphasize more in the sentence.
@@oxfordenglishnow I find it extremely difficult to search for the right kind of words to express my deepest feelings of gratitude to you for your accommodating gesture towards me; the way you did explain the subtitles and nuances speaks volumes for the fact that you are undisputedly the greatest of all grammarians across the globe.Ma,am, you are further requested to let me know if the following sentences are grammatically correct -(A)It was yesterday that I met John (B)It was yesterday when I met John (C) It was last Saturday that I met John (D)It was last Saturday when I met John.Ma,am, do please enlighten me a bit as to which of the above sentences are grammatically correct and which not.Apart from this, help me out by providing the much -needed info about which clauses they are -Noun clause or Adjective clause.
Hello madam😀. Please help me with this doubt. They are /have been the worst contestants any season of the show has ever had . What should i use (are or have been)?
Hi Akshat, you could use either. If you use are you are stating a fact that will always be true or the present perfect referring to the recent past. Your choice.
Hi AUNG, We often leave out the relative pronoun when it is the object of the verb: However, we can't leave out whose. For example: That’s the girl whose dress I like. Here, whose cannot be omitted. I hope that helps!
Hi Tanveer, When the relative pronoun is the subject/object of the relative clause, we do not repeat the subject/object: Marie Curie is the woman who she discovered radium. (who is the subject of discovered, so we don't need she) This is the house that Jack built it. (that is the object of built, so we don't need it) I hope that helps!
The man that/who/whom/no pronoun/ I marry will have to be someone really special. Explanation: The man is the object of the clause and not the subject.
Yes well done! whom, who or that. Who is not grammatically correct but very common in spoken English. You can also leave out the pronoun because it is the object of a defining relative clause. Great job!

Relatives clauses… adverbial clauses can only modify the main verb in the independent clause while relative clauses can modify any noun in the independent clause.
Which verb will use after the "Where"
Beacause after "where" it has no any subject
How to decide
१ This is the place where is /are not allowed to take pictures.

The man who /that the man is the subject . No leaving it out. 🤗
Yes Maria, you are correct and technically you could also use whom but nowadays who is much more frequently heard.

How relative pronoun become the object of a sentence
Hi Tanveer, When the relative pronoun is the subject/object of the relative clause, we do not repeat the subject/object:
Marie Curie is the woman who she discovered radium.
(who is the subject of discovered, so we don't need she)
This is the house that Jack built it.
