    The way you taught this topic is remarkable. If you had my english teacher in my school days than I could have better results in English grammar. Thank you for these topics, you are awesome!

      Mam, why did you use 'were' not 'I wish you was' in your sentence? Could you please tell me?

    • @yiruma80
      @yiruma80 3 роки тому +3

      Were and was are both past tense versions of the verb to be. But were is usually used in relate to second person singular and plural pronouns such as you, your, yours. It is also used with select first and third person plural pronouns such as we, they.
      We use was, on the other hand, when we’re using the first person singular pronoun I or using the third person singular such as he or she.
      For example, you wouldn’t say, “You was going to the store.” You would say, “You were going to the store.”
      But you would say, “I was going to the store,” rather than “I were going to the store.”
      Got it?

    I love watching your videos on grammar and punctuation; all your videos are explained very clearly. No confusion about the topic.
    Love how you always give us quizzes to test our understanding. To see if we learned anything.
    Keep up the good work!

    Thanks Rebecca for the lesson! It's easy to understand and quite helpful to apply.
    Thanks to the lesson, I first learned that quantities of time, money and distance was considered to be a single subject. For example, five miles is not a long distance.

    in the last example two subjets are connected with and so you use are in the blank
    but if there is a preposition only before one subject then both indicates a single thing
    example
    the poet and the philosopher are ...
    the poet and philosopher is ....

    1.) remains is plural so "his remains are..."
    2.) My physical strength and mental strength ARE
    although i'd say "my physical and mental strength are ..." as it sounds more natural
