I am an English teacher in Peru and I have discovered that the primary reason that students are not becoming conversational is because the language institutes are not teaching them how to write; only how to pass grammar exams. More and more my focus is becoming how it is that I can begin to introduce effective writing techniques into the curriculum. I've watched a number of videos on sentence structure and if I had to make a recommendation on the best video to watch, I'd say go to "Writing is Painless." I never thought that I could get so excited about something that is so important in impacting the lives of students. Teaching them to write effectively is so fundamentally important to their future, it boggles the imagination. What a tremendous opportunity we have as teachers. Thanks a bunch for your videos. Phil
Phil Brenman Thank you sir, Your students are very lucky to have you as their teacher. You can make a big difference in people life. I always remember my chemistry teacher and appreciated him. I did say thank you to him until 22 years later while I was doing an electorcardiogram on him to check out his heart rhythm. I told him because of him that I am able to work in the hospital.
@@lutam7589 that's so sweet of you to thank your teacher.In Islam gratitude is a big characteristic. One of the saying of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is , "Whoever does not thank people has not thanked Allah. "Sunan Abi Dawud 4811
Thank you so much. I am 40 years old and I have a hard time learning to write.I will watch all of these videos in hoping to become a better writer. My whole life has been a struggled when comes to writing. As you might see what I have written above, I’m sure there is some sentence structure error. I really need to learn how to write properly since I did not learned or taught properly in elementary or high school. I hope I can teach my daughter in grade 2 to write from what I learned so she does not have to go through what I gone through. A MI DA PHAT (best wishes), Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Thanks for sharing, it is definitely a big help. You do a excellent job breaking it all down. Very attractive Professor with natural acting talent (may need to think about pursuing potential opportunities in acting).
Meaning to ask - in the (1) "Susie sings." (2) "She writes." example, does reorienting these as (3) "Susie sings and writes." (4) "Susie sings and she writes." represent (3) and/or (4) being compound sentences, despite omitting punctuation or conjunction as connectors in either? [I realize this is a completely different element of writing than discussing Sentence Structure, per se - but I have on occasion found it useful to employ one of all four of those sentence iterations, depending on the desired function for the sentence. I can't seem to locate a link to your blog - does it cover this sort of matter related to writing?]
Hi there, thanks for this video. Would it be possible to provide a link to the exact location on the blog where one can find the handouts that accompany this lesson? I've been sifting through the blog painstakingly and I still haven't been able to find these.
I have a question if you don't mind , do you consider the sentence '' Alice sings and dances, is a simple or a compound sentence ? Traditionally, a simple sentence should have only one finite verb,
I've been on Maria's channel on the basics. I wish I got the acronym lists to learn. Can we use prepositional forms like in fact, n why is that? Is it included because it is inevitable to become a conjunctive adverb. Maria F's .You are great, thx.
Not even a complex-compound sentence is that hard with the prepositional structure . To be honest , there are some details that we need to be aware of. Our language consists of prefixes n suffixes that are by far harder than. I'll end up with the fragment. I need the commas right as part of the structure . 🙏👍🏻 I ' m almost there . I have learnt so much. Highly appreciate .
Why is it that the number of IC 's n DC 's is given to vary so much ? Saying two or more makes it confusing. Thank you. It also makes the sentence structure very long.
This was a very helpful video, I am very envious of her students! I would find it somewhat difficult to concentrate because, I must say I am [hot for teacher] Saundra is extremely attractive woman!!
My 8 year was sent to use this iPad as an educational tool and he came running, "Mom I think this lady might have a website to help me learn. She did with the word predict." 😘
Talks far too fast, and I am English. Please do not gabble, give the listener time to comprehend your lesson. Use pauses between sentences, please allow information to be absorbed and retained.
Two or more of the same.= compound. Good! Conjunctive adverbs acronym. What was your web page? I'm almost there. Thanks returned. 👣💕HOTSHOTCAT= i want to know. BATWASHTUB = too subordinative conjunctive . This is clear. FANBOYS I KNOW.
I didnt like her way of teaching.First she speaks so fast, As I know, she does not teach English to native speakers or Americans ,so why she does speak so fast? This is good for beginners I dont advise her at all.
I think that you are being very rude to her. Please, mind how you address people and you ought to be very grateful for this wonderful free video so, learn how to be appreciative and behave appropriately. Thanks.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I love your ways of teaching! Thanks for your sharing!
Now it hit home ! I have to repeat a few times . I got it!!! If this is all of the 4 forms, it can't be that hard .
Outstanding presentation! A million thanks.
THANK YOU THE PROFESSOR YOU GIVEN ENOUGH LANGUAGE WRITING SENTENCES. THAN YOU AGAIN STRIVE.
Love your style. 💕💜💡👍🏻. This cannot be so hard.
The compound -complex is still a challenge. TY.All the accepted combinations possible.
You are great we need more videos
TY!!!! When can we put a comma before because or even though ?
Thank you miss Saundra. Great.
Since Susie sings , she belongs to a band , n she writes lyrics, too. Conjunctive adverbs make a sentence compound sentence . !!! That is a heureka!
Excellent, my students will find this useful.
Thank you. very good.

Hi there, thanks for this video. Would it be possible to provide a link to the exact location on the blog where one can find the handouts that accompany this lesson? I've been sifting through the blog painstakingly and I still haven't been able to find these.
Could you please provide us your blog link on a written format?
Can you please tell me the music that was playing in the beginning of the video. Thank you!

Thank you...Î'm getting there.
I am unable to see the post on sentence structure. Will you please help?
Why is it that the number of IC 's n DC 's is given to vary so much ? Saying two or more makes it confusing. Thank you. It also makes the sentence structure very long.
I’m trying to write fiction ,not sure if I should watch this video but it seems helpful
Very helpful, love the way you teach
I'm going to mail you some more pens.
Thank you so much!
Where exactly is the handout?
The handout is on the blog writingispainless.blogspot.com ... Sentence structure post was in 2013.
Thanks, you should write a book. I was looking for your information on Amazon. Thank you for your work!

Using "since" preceding Susan sings implies that every that sings is in a choir.

HOTSHOTCAT . Could you pls write these down for me? Thank you.
I would like to ,at least , figure out the list as one whole. Thus , I'd have a better idea.
If My English Teacher was half as pretty as you,I would be a straight ( A ) student,I love English now
Really like it. Use some other examples instead Susie.
Work on transformation of sentences
very helpful. thanks.
I wish you were my teacher!!
i'm a student for hcs

Please don’t shout and slow down. Think about you audience. They need time to absorb what you are saying 😂
Please, be respectful and act appropriately. Thanks.
