@@MichaelToohey pray for mine too Mr. Toohey!!!!
@vivanwali3160 praying now!!
Your insight on question 20 is super helpful, thank you
Happy to help!! Let me know if you have any questions!!
I couldn’t get why it wasn’t B, the option with colon. Can you pls explain?
@areebahfatima1629 good question! What follows the quotation is not exactly an explanation of the quote… notice what follows the colon is the word “positing” and the quote isn’t doing the positing.
Also (to get more technical), “positing that all life’s virtues derived from this absence” is a a positive phrase, and an appositive phrase will never follow a colon.
The colon in this case is iffy at best. Go with the one you know that works. You know you need the brief pause here, so just go with the comma.
Make sense?
@@MichaelToohey that makes sense thank you so much! You are a life savour
thanks for the video man... was looking out for exactly this
I’m so happy to help!! Best of luck on your upcoming test!!
Taking it in 12 hours
Praying for your success!

Thank you! Happy to help!
Thank you so much after watching to your videos, now I'm pretty sure that I will perform good in free live full length test on 10th and 11th August held by Mentomind. will soon inform you the result.
Uhh… hey. Happy to help!
It is the best video to cover all the basics but If you want to excel grammar section, I highly recommend you Erica Meltzer books 🙏.
I’ve heard good things about Erica Metzler too
Good Video. But one thing to point out here is the use of colons. Remember before the colon, there has to be a complete sentence. Therefore the correct structure is, SVO: xxx
Oh! Good point!!
I’ve never seen necessary to think in those terms to identity if you’re using the colon properly or not, but I’ll be on the lookout for it!
Thanks for pointing that out! : )
Of course! And that's what distinguishes colon's use from the single dash, since the single dash can also be used after an incomplete sentence as a summary dash, for example:
"Apples, oranges, and grapes - all are my favorite fruits."
Thanks for the clarification!! I’ve never seen the single em-dash used that way on the SAT before… Have you?
You guys can try mentomind as well for practice test it has like more than 2000 practice tests
Really great video! I just had a few questions though. The first would be would you separate dates that had commas in them with semi-colons too, and also I noticed when I was taking a few digital SAT's and noticed that Dash's and colons too . Other than that this was a great review. Thank you!
Scratch that last part.
No problem! That part about the dates makes perfect sense: a list of dates with years would have to be separated by semicolons, because the dates would have commas within each date! Haven’t seen dates on the practice tests, but it follows the rule so I’m not too surprised! : )
Hi! Awesome video but quick question. At 50:18 , I can see a world where "that all life's virtues derived from this absence." can be counted as a description of "the absence of pain in the body and of trouble in the soul" and thereby warrant the use of a colon.
It describes the absence as the 'thing to be explained' and where this philosopher derived all life's virtues.
Like your example earlier: I was baking chocolate chip cookies: my favorite kind of treat
The cookies are the 'thing to be explained' and are their favorite kind of treat.
Rather than an issue of "description" I think it's the fact that punctuation can't be used outside of "" and because it breaks the flow of the sentence.
Good point! I agree, it’s a tough call there… technically, what follows the colon can’t be an appositive phrase, and what follows the colon in this case is an appositive phrase…
In any case, we know that the comma works, and the colon there is iffy at best. Go with the one that you know works.
@@MichaelTooheyGotcha Thank you so much man!
@Coco-mk6lv happy to help! :)
thank you: I needed this King.
So happy to help!! Let me know if you have any questions!
Hello,
thank you so much for the video I was really struggling with grammar and this really cleared things up, but I recently encountered a question that didn't make sense( from Khan Academy):
The 2022 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to three pioneers in the field of click chemistry: two- time Nobel Laureate Barry Sharpless, who coined the term “click chemistry” in 1998; Carolyn Bertozzi, founder of The Bertozzi Group at ______ and Morten Meldal, a professor at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark.
and the correct option for this was:
A) Standford;
I don't really understand this because why would there be a semicolon before "and" I thought that a semicolon was interchangeable with a period, so this sentence wouldn't be correct if there was a period there and then "And" right?
Aha! This is the semicolon separating items in a list with commas within the items… same as the example in the video:
“I took a tour of state capitals, including Austin, Texas; Little Rock, Arkansas; and Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
The key is to identify the separate items in the list, and the. Make sure to separate them with the semicolon…
The clue is that you’ll see the semicolon despairing a statement that DOESN’T stand alone in the paragraph… then you know they are testing you on this concept…
Make sense?
@@MichaelToohey Yes, okay thank you for pointing that out

Hello,
Thank you alot!
Pls can u let me know (meanwhile/specifically/instead/)when we can use them?or in which major of the 5 they are?
“Meanwhile” is sequence (occurring at the same time)
“Specifically” is proving if examples
“Instead” is contrast
Wow this is th most comprehensive video ive seen! 800 on English? Maybe
Thank you for your feedback!! I do cover every rule tested on the SAT Reading/Writing section, so if you can learn to apply the rules a perfect score on the grammar questions (the second half of each reading/writing module) is definitely possible!!
when ru doing ur sat?? im prob doing mine in octob
@@xxxyousef9617 I'm also doing mine in October; it's actually the first that I'm going to take
@@randomname7321 its my first time too , how ru preparing

Amazing video
Glad you appreciated it!! Let me know if you have any questions!!
Hello, I wanted to know if there is a pdf version of this document available? By the way this video is a lifesaver as I have my SAT in October and I really needed this. Thanks so much!
I’m so happy to help!! Shoot me an email at tooheycollegeprep@gmail.com
Sir, Can you please tell how should i approach English (considering i have really bad English score) and no practice as of now. Should i just practice English practice test or go for topical practice with basics? Please tell. Thank you!
First, watch all my videos on UA-cam… then, start working through the practice tests, UNTIMED. Once you are getting the score increase you want UNTIMED, add the timed element by doing the adaptive modules in the Bluebook app.
Again, UNTIMED first, then timed.
And if you’re serious about getting a score increase, consider getting access to the Full course: just go to satcrashcourse.net
I’ve got a special offer there for my UA-cam viewers/subscribers!
I have finished wholly. Thank you for all of that
I’m so happy to help! : )
And make sure to watch part 2 if you haven’t yet!
Just to clarify, Outside of the 9 principles, no further rules are needed for the entire grammar section, correct?
None on the official practice tests that I have seen!
Of course, there’s an art to applying them and thinking about the questions the right way, but these are the only grammar rules you need to know!
@@MichaelToohey I appreciate your response in addition to your video, I’ll add it to my study regime pertaining to the EBRW section!
@@MichaelToohey I just realized you also provide math coverage as well, I’ll take advantage of those too lol. Just subbed!
Great! Thank you!! Let me know if you have any questions!!
nice and clean !
Ha! Thank you! Let me know if you have any questions!
I am really concerned for the girl's sat score..I have one in this october ...I might get some confidence and motivation..if she did well!!
Not sure how she ended up doing, but many students I work with are getting all the grammar questions right in the practice tests by applying these rules! The key is to practice… you can do it too!
thank you so much for the video. I'm taking the SAT this august and this was a much needed brush up on what I know. however, I was just wondering about 32:19 'If people exercise regularly, _____ will dramatically increase their heath.' what I understand from this is that it's the exercise which is dramatically impacting people, so we would use 'it', referring to exercise. can you explain why we we used they? thanks
Great question! I think it could be interpreted that way, yes… so I probably should have used a less ambiguous example : /
But it can also be interpreted as referring people, so here either would be acceptable.
But don’t worry - on the SAT you won’t see too right answers! : )
@@MichaelToohey thanks for clarifying! I thought I was understanding it wrong :]
@lunarpop_ nope! You’re good!
Sir , Indian student here , for Reading is Erica L Meltzer good?
P.S I love your explination sir
Erica Metzler is great!! One of the most respected names in the business. My videos make the grammar section easier though : )
Can you give me an example of a modifying phrase coming immediately after the word it's modifying? Is there a somewhat easier way that i'll be able to recognize this?
Comets, blazing through the night sky for a brief peridot of time, have long fascinated humans.
There, the descriptive phrase comes immediately after the word it is modifying.
On the Digital SAT, on pretty much every “misplaced modifiers” question, the descriptive phrase comes first. Can’t think of any exceptions I’ve seen.
If there’s no obvious grammar rule being tested (it’s not punctuation, subject-verb agreement, possessives, etc) there’s a good chance it’s a sentence structure issue, and therefore misplaced modifiers. Be on the lookout for it!
@@MichaelToohey Thank you! This really helps!
I would really appreciate any content regarding the digital SAT reading and writing that is not using the practice tests, because there are only 4 and I'm looking for more practice to add on top of them.
I know, I wish there were more practice tests easily available online (more coming out soon, I suspect and hope!)… I’ll be recording and releasing a new Digital SAT Crash Course in he months ahead, so be on the lookout for it coming out soon!
@@MichaelToohey thank you, I'll be waiting for it lol
Hi Michael!!! Do you gi ve one to one tution also???
@neelukampani6548 i do one-on-one tutoring, yes! You can find more information on my website: mtcollegeprep.com
Love the video, do you have some kind of course. that I could take 1 on 1 with ya?
Thanks for reaching out! I do offer 1-on-1 tutoring (it’s a little pricey for many students, but there’s nothing more effective to boost your SAT score)… is that what you’re looking for?
love your videos! These videos really help me study topics that I can't understand myself. Do you have a website where I could find these documents?
Not yet, but shoot me an email at tooheycollegeprep@gmail.com and I’ll get it to you…
hello if you got document can you send it to me
@prateekkaushal419 shoot me an email at tooheycollegeprep@gmail.com
Are these the same grammar rules for the paper sat🥰
Yes! Even if you’re taking the paper version of the DSAT!
do u have a video on the transition word’s punctuation? like when to use .however, or ,however.
Yes!! Check out my “Digital SAT Grammar Rules - Part 2” video where I teach you how to apply the rules!
Thank you for the video. its really helpful. my english score in mock tests increased from 550 to 630. any tips to increase it even more? my exam is on 24th of august.
Sure!! Watch my Digital SAT Reading video and brush up on the Reading questions on the R&W section!
I’ll also be posting a video on the “notes” questions at the end of each module… be on the lookout for it!
Thank you so much.. ☺
Happy to help!!
This was a really helpful video. Could you send the google document u used in the vidoe
Shoot me an email at tooheycollegeprep@gmail.com!
In the example of 13:09, can't we use comma there? I was baking choclate chip cookies, my favorite kind of treat.
Yes! A comma would work just fine there as well for a descriptive phrase.
Be aware that if you can use both a comma and an em-dash (or colon) they won’t give you two correct answer choices as options…
Could you provide me with the Google Doc of all the grammar rules?
Shoot me an email at tooheycollegeprep@gmail.com!
Hey! You are great...
May I ask if the two parts cover everything needed for standard convention questions...?
I cover every grammar rule tested in the first video, yes!
Thank you for reaching out! I don’t cover all the question types in my UA-cam videos, but I have another 2+ hours of grammar instruction available in the full course which will be available soon!
Let me know if you have any other questions!
@@MichaelToohey Well, thanks for replying really quick. I appreciate it. What do u mean by you don't cover every question type ..
Isn't it all we need for standard conventions sir ?
@AishnikaAzad-io5uj That’s correct… I teach you every rule in the first “Digital SAT Grammar Rules” video… it’s just that they test you on the rules on a wide variety of questions, and there’s an art to applying them well that I teach in my Digital SAT Crash course…
@@MichaelToohey Oh! I get it now...
Thanks you so much again. Waiting for the video...
Awesome vid! Reallly helped me ! A question though..
13:33 - " I was baking chocolate chip cookies: my favourite kind of treat, can we use a comma to separate the two clauses cus the second one's dependent on the first. Both structures make sense to me. What should I do on test day if something like this comes up? Why?
Either one would be acceptable there! You could treat “my favorite kind of treat” as a description with the colon, or as a descriptive phrase with the comma. But don’t worry: you’ll never see two correct answer choices on the test, so you never have to make that call!
Make sense?
@@MichaelToohey Thank you so much! Got it :)
Great!! Let me know if you have any other questions!
Hey can you please share the doc?
Shoot me an email at tooheycollegeprep@gmail.com
Is the sat exam and digital sat exam same ?
Good question!! Right now, the only version of the SAT you can take is the Digital SAT, so in short, yes!!
Just be aware that there have been a significant number of changes to the digital version, so any prep materials over a year old are most likely outdated.
Let me know if you have any other questions! : )
@@MichaelToohey ok
Ok I’m a little confused for towards the end, question 20 I originally said D was the answer bc I thought that if there is a semi- colon and commas in the options you can automatically get rid of both but then you said if it’s there and the period you can get rid of both because there basically the same, so which is it ?? Plzz reply I take my sat Monday
Great question! If you see a PERIOD and a SEMICOLON in the same place (and everything else is the same) you can get rid of them… So C and D are gone… make sense?
should i read the full reading for all the questions on sat? i feel like i will run out of time
You should 100% read the whole passage.
I totally understand your concerns about finishing on time, but as long as you don’t get “stuck” on the hardest reading passages in the middle of the module you will finish on time. Feel free to straight up skip 3-4 of the hardest reading questions on a tough module 2, and take your time on the rest, reading everything carefully.
I’m currently coaching my students to start with the grammar questions in the middle of the module first, so if you do run out time, you’re only missing the toughest reading questions in the middle of the module.
Make sense?
Can you send a link or a copy of the document?
Shoot me an email at tooheycollegeprep@gmail.com
Could I get a doc for the teaching you gave?
Shoot me an email at tooheycollegeprep@gmail.com
28:00 tip is great
Thank you! Remember, if you’re being tested on subject-verb agreement, and you see 3 answer choices that are plural and 1 is singular, I can pretty much guarantee the right answer is the one that’s singular… if you see 3 that are singular and 1 plural, it’s probably going to be the one that’s plural.
Thank you sir, would you be able to link your rules doc?
Thanks for reaching out! Shoot me an email at tooheycollegeprep@gmail.com
Hi could you link this google doc in the comments so I can study with this please also this video is so helpful thank you
Shoot me an email at tooheycollegeprep@gmail.com
I’ll send it to you! : )
How can I start study for the exam sat english the exam is at 5 October?
Good question!! First of all, watch my Digital SAT videos on UA-cam… if you are learning from my videos, and like the way I teach, consider getting access to the full course: just go to satcrashcourse.net to get access!
That being said, you’ll want to start with UNTIMED work (I guide you through this process in my course). Once you’re getting the score increase you want untimed, you can add the timed element using the practice tests in the Bluebook app!
Let me know if you have any other questions! : )
@@MichaelToohey ok thanks
hi, may I have the access to the material in the video?
Shoot me an email tooheycollegeprep@gmail.com
nice.keep going on
Thank you!! I’ll have a part 2 recorded for y’all sometime soon!
Where did you find the digital SAT prep in the video? At: 46:21
Not sure if this is what he’s uses, but I recommend Bluebook!
32:10 if we put "it" instead of "they" wont it just change the subject but the sentence will remain correct
Correct! The subject is the same, but if you recognize that “a pack of wild wolves” is the subject (which it is in the example) a lot of students think “a pack of wild solve ARE roaming” sounds good because you hear “wolves are roaming” and it sounds ok… but if you recognize that “pack of wild wolves” is singular, you can test the answer choices with “it”… you can say “it IS” but you can’t say “it ARE”… it and they just clarify which verbs are singular and which are plural…
Make sense?
@@MichaelTooheyI think he is referencing the next question, the one about people who exercise regularly.
Good point! Yes, “it” would work there too… my mistake for designing an example with two possible answers…
sir is this video is enough for SAT grammar
Yes!! Every grammar rule is here!
Now, there is an art to applying the rules, but check out my “Digital SAT Grammar Rules: Part 2” video to see how it’s done! : )
I have a question, if you want to separate two sentences with a colon, do they need to be two stand alone ones?
As long as it follows the colon formula, you can use a colon. More often than not, however, the second part (after the colon) is NOT a standalone thought, although in some cases it may be.
Thx you so much. Do you have a pdf of these rules? Thx you so much
Sure! Shoot me an email at tooheycollegeprep@gmail.com
I'm taking the august sat and i want to boost my score (i got 610 on the english section on my first practice test) any advice?
Yes! Go through the pdf practice tests on the College Board website, UNTIMED before you start working on the tests in the Bluebook app… when you are getting the score increase you want to see untimed, then you can add the timed element in the Bluebook app.
Also, I recommend starting with the grammar questions in the middle of the R&W modules… that way if you don’t get to answer any of the questions, you’re only missing the toughest reading questions right before the grammar in the middle of the module…
Make sense?
And of course, watch my videos and let me know if you have any other questions!!
@@MichaelToohey i actually practiced various questions from the sat suite bank ofcourse with excluding the ones that appear on the practice test and i always start from half the questions.

Yes!! This is everything they test on!!
You gotta practice applying the rules, but everything you need to know is here.
Thanks a lot sir✨
Excuse me sir, I had a doubt. Is it a necessity to go perfectly into depth with every single rule of English grammar(for example all the types of tenses and their variations) or would it be a wiser approach to stick to the SAT Grammar topics specifically mentioned and provided at 'KhanAcademy'?

for 55:20 , isnt b satisfies colon rule like the sentences before is independent and after is clearly a description what if we get into this dilemma and ended up picking b ? How should i elimintae b too?
Good question! What follows the colon is not so much a description/explanation of the quote, as it is a continuation of the thought expressed earlier in the sentence. Answer choice b is reasonable, but at best, iffy. We know answer choice A works, so go with the one that you KNOW is acceptable.
Plus, I’ve never seen a colon following a quote… I haven’t and I wouldn’t ever expect to see that on the SAT.
can you kindly attach the file you used in the video.

@@MichaelToohey Done.
im not sure if the rule where if there is a period and a semicolon in the answer choices like 53:00, can't we autoamtically eliminate those choices as they work as the same functions, idk a lot of people say that
Yes!! It’s true!! As long as everything else is the same between the answer choices…
@@MichaelToohey like every other punctuations are the same other than the semicolons and periods?
@fits248 yes, and all the other words
thank you for helping, can you please help in 52:20 20. question and why its not A
Thanks for reaching out!! 20 IS A, sorry if I didn’t make that clear in the video… does it make sense why?
could you use a colon for a list in the middle of a sentence? like can you say "there were a lot of ingredients: honey, sugar, milk, but the most important one was the bread."
Good question!! No, what follows the colon has to be the list, description, or explanation, and nothing else…
If you’re interrupting the sentence with a list, description, or explanation, you have to use a double em-dash (or parentheses) instead.

For the subject verb agreement questions, how do you find the subject? Cuz the verb is roaming so shouldn't the subject be wolves? cuz wolves roam.
Good question!! The subject of a sentence will never be in a prepositional phrase, such as “of wild wolves”…
In the example you’re referring to, “of wild wolves” describes the word pack, which is the subject.
They love putting prepositional phrases between the subject and verb on the SAT, so he on the lookout for it, and cut out any prepositional phrases.
As a side not, “wolves” could be the subject in a different sentence:
“Wild wolves are roaming through the neighborhood.”
There the subject is “wolves.”
But that’s different from “A pack of wild wolves is roaming through the neighborhood.”
See the difference?
Let me know if you have any other questions!
@@MichaelToohey sry but this is confusing me lol, does it not sound weird to say "is"
@Mel00710 A little weird for some students… but let me explain with some more examples:
“The pack is roaming through the neighborhood.”
Clearly you need “is” because the subject “pack” is singular.
“The wolves are roaming through the neighborhood.”
Here you need “are” because the subject is “wolves,” which is plural.
“A pack of wild wolves is roaming through the neighborhood.”
Here, the subject is “pack,” which is singular. That’s because “of wild wolves” is a prepositional phrase describing the subject, which is the pack. And the subject is never going to be in a prepositional phrase.
Make sense?
That’s why knowing the rule is key. You can’t always go with what you think sounds good if it violates a rule.

54:00 but here, the period is within the quotation mark.
Fair point… the colon or semicolon should be outside of the parentheses, while the period should be placed outside, as you see in answer choices C and D. Here, however, we have a period and a semicolon two statements that do NOT stand alone as complete sentences, which is why we can eliminate both…
@@MichaelToohey i eliminated option A and D immediately bcz the comma and the period both were inside the parenthesis and it wasn't making any sense. this left me with option B and C. now, option C can't be the correct option bcz a semicolon only joins 2 independent clauses so I eliminated it as well. so I figured option B(the one with colon) is the correct option bcz it was the only one left. am I wrong?
Did my comment get deleted? Can you send me the doc?
