    Nah, "he spoke sincerely and with passion" creates a bigger impact than "he spoke sincerely and passionately."

      Maybe people who don't think the video was helpful, the video was confusing, or a number of other reasons, disliked this. I am not one of the people who disliked it, but I'm just saying that people probably have a reason for doing that. And no, no one is a moron, Motasem Akasha. :)

      Maybe it was a person who was fed up with what often seems like arbitrary rules for the English language, specifically writing in a college class. I thought the first example he used was a perfectly worded sentence, made sense and was a great example of a good sentence however because this guy with the sweater on says it lacks parallelism, you can't use it. I thought what he changed it to, sincerely and passionately, was completely unnecessary and made the sentence boring, using two "ly" adverbs so close to each other in the sentence BUT now it has PaRaLlElIsM so it works.

    Excellent video. I played it to my college composition class. However, we're also trying to avoid comma splices in our essays, and your excellent video contains a comma splice: "University students use the internet to research essay topics, [sic] business people use it to hold video conferences."

  • @曹岸
    @曹岸 8 років тому

    “Children use computers to play video games, business people use them to advertise products, students use them to research secondary sources and it is used by teachers to deliver homework assignments.” i am wondering if this sentence is a comma splice, because four independent clauses are connected with commas.

    • @shaunmacleod2371
      @shaunmacleod2371 8 років тому

      Good question, but no, this is not a comma splice because of the "and" before the final clause. This is a series of clauses, much like how you can write a series of words or phrases. Hope that helps!

    Odd question; you know when you said "under the sofa," as the fix? What if he was looking IN the sofa itself, meaning he pulled the cushions etc. would it be better to fully explain that? I just figured since the original sentence said "in the bedroom, in the sofa," it meant he looked in the sofa, not necessarily under it. Sorry, weird question.

    • @shaunmacleod2371
      @shaunmacleod2371 10 років тому +2

      Not a weird question at all. But yes, you would have to specify "in the sofa" to make three parallel phrases in that sentence: in his bedroom, in the sofa and on the kitchen counter. It is possible to use a single preposition (in) with multiple nouns in a list as long as all of the nouns share that one preposition. For example, he looked in the fridge, the sofa, and the cupboard.

    Finally a source with related material! I've been searching for hours for grammar information. Yet, 90% of what I find is: "You are a noun." "The dog is a noun." I'm sure the ESL students are happy with 90% of the content.
