    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.

    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.

    • @oxfordenglishnow

      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.

    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?

    • @oxfordenglishnow
      @oxfordenglishnow  2 роки тому +2

      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!

    @akshatmukundam974 3 роки тому +2

    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.)

    • @oxfordenglishnow
      @oxfordenglishnow  3 роки тому +1

      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.

    • @oxfordenglishnow
      @oxfordenglishnow  3 роки тому +1

      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!

      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.

      @oxfordenglishnow  8 місяців тому +1

      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.
