This world needs more teachers like you!
Thank you for choosing to study with me. :)
I'm glad you're watching. For more advanced students, this will be a useful review. Even for many native speakers, a more careful look at punctuation rules and patterns would be beneficial. :)
Hello! I am very pleased that other teachers will be able to make use of this series. I feel that these punctuation lessons can support the instruction given for academic/ professional writing. Regards!
Jennifer, you are great. I am an english teacher who lives in Brazil. Your classes are helping me to understand some topics in english, especially the pronunciation!Thanks for your help!!!
I love your way of teaching, you stand at our learner's palce to think if we can understand it, so you put subtitles and slow speaking. and the videos are very oganizing. I learn a lot from your video since a few years ago and I enjoy it!!never enjoy learnin anything. thank you, Jennifer.
You're welcome. Thank you for visiting. Kind wishes!
Your smile made my day. I love the way you teach. Your smiling face keep me attentive every single moment. I never feel bored to listen you. Love!
Thank you for studying with me. I have practice exercises on my website to review the patterns shown in these lessons. englishwithjennifer.com > Students > Exercises (PC) > Writing Skills
@@Englishwithjennifer I'll surely do.
Hello and thank YOU for following my lessons all this time.
I saw your question on the community forum on my website, and I posted my response there. I'm limited when I type replies here on YT. The short answer is that you can start with "I" in your resume. Just be careful not to be too repetitious.See you on the forum. :) Regards!
Hello. Learn from each lesson. Ask questions when you have them. Okay? Here are some corrections to study.

Thanks, Jennifer. I want to learn, but my English is not good. I'm a student from Vietnam. I will continue to follow your videos.
Thank you for the support. I had a skating lesson this afternoon. We worked on jumps. I'm really scared to take flight, so my jumps are extremely hesitant. However, I'm not ready to give up yet!
Kind wishes to you!
Jennifer, you are just great. You did a great job. Your presentation is awesome. Your contribution is sky limit. May GOD bless you.
Best video ever to learn punctuation in English ! I liked the introduction, that was real magic !
Thank you for the support. :)
You're welcome. Have a good week!
You are one of the most giving and passionate person, who has the ability to be a perfect teacher and you are ! It is wonderful to meet you . Thank you . Jennifer ESL teacher.
As for interviews, the key is practice. Learn the commonly asked questions. Write out your answers. Practice giving your answers and modifying them for different questions. Remember the key points you want the interviewer to know before you walk out and practice speaking about them. When you know what you want to say and have confidence you can say it well, interviews will go more smoothly. Good luck!
JenniferI have waited so long! Time is too slow for those who wait, after waiting so long................. now I'm seeing your helpful video. Thank you so much for the post.
You're very welcome. Have a good day!
I agree that learning the basic patterns with punctuation arms you as a writer. Whenever I receive official letters from a professional or academic source, I find multiple errors with punctuation to be distracting. Of course, I make mistakes, too, but I try to be consistent in my patterns, and I appreciate consistency in others' writing.
That's very nice of you!Thanks to the Internet and also to all those remarkable teachers,we are able to get a global education without going abroad.Thank you so much for all your contribution and generosity.Your lessons are beyond impressive,love them so much.
Jennifer really you are a great teacher really i think you are a one of the best English masters
I'm learning " English " ,and I'll start working on my writing with your videos.Have a good day.
You too. Happy holidays!
Thank you very much i am from Palestine and you help me in learning English more than the institute i am in.
:-)
It seems you already have a foundation. The task now is to identify your goals and the areas you need to improve in most. Then develop an appropriate study plan. The Study Tips on my website can help. There is no one best way to learn. I'd suggest a health balance among all the skills. Reading is a great place to start. Work with online texts that have an audio component, so you can develop listening and pronunciation skills. Study vocabulary. Look at the grammar. Ask questions. Good luck!
You're very welcome! :)
Wow ! I'm new comer student and enjoy the way you teach. It's productive for everyone, specially those who are new learners like me.
Thank you Jinnefer .
Have fun !
The very BEST video which make me understand the entire thing within a few minutes...THANKS for all your effort...
You're welcome. Thank you for continuing to follow my videos. Regards!
Hallow Jennifer!
Thank you for sharing your wounderful teaching talents with the world. I am sitting on the otherside of the globe watching the way you explain things, it's amaizing! you just made my horrible writing and spelling skils slightly better. I will definitely follow your Webside. Once again thank you, and may God bless you!
Thank you jennifer ,i improved my english mostly by listening and sometime this give me difficulty to communicate with other people especially in writing & reading . i just want to say this is very helpful for me thanks a lot .
Thank you for the kind support.
Best wishes!
I just want to say thank you for sharing your lessons with us.
Hi, Jen! Punctuation sometimes can be confusing. As a self-taught student of English I used to listen to audio magazines trying to transcribe them. It worked because I learned to understand English. But when I checked the original text I noticed that I had made some mistakes in Punctuation. It's good to have a teacher like you to clarify my doubts. (By the way I heard the airplane sound in the middle of video. I thought the airplane was above my house). Thank you again.
Jennefer, I would like to thank you all hard work that you do every day. I have learned a lot from you. My pronunciation has improved a lot,
I'm very happy to hear that, Julio. Good luck as you continue to study English. Regards from Boston!
Thanks so much, Ms. Jennifer, for this awesome playlist. I like how calm you are. You deliver your message very smoothly. Thanks for your efforts.
You are so welcome. There are review exercises on my website. :)
I'm very happy watching your video, because your way to teach is very nice and easy to be understand for readers especially me. I hope I can learn more with you and improve my English. Thank you very much.
Hello. I have Study Tips on my website. One tip is on spelling. I list some resources for spelling practice. Learn spelling patterns, for example: F changes to V before adding the plural ending: life > lives. Also, I help my children learn their assigned spelling words through mnemonics: rhymes, stories. etc. This week my daughter and I created a chant: L - I - two little Ts - L - E. We also use hand movements for this. My son now knows that A and I lean against each other in the word "against."
Thank you so much Jennifer. You lessons made me a better person!
Thanks for all of your contributions that help many non-english speakers across the world. I'm from india. I shared your with my friends . Thanks jeni :)
Hi Jennifer, I'd like to thank you for your classes, they help me a lot.
I have to take the time to thank you for posting these video, I had a very important English grammar test for my University bachelors and with your help I passed :) thanks
Congratulations on passing! I am happy to learn my videos could reinforce your knowledge. Best wishes to you!
Hello! Well, my first language is English, and I started studying Russian in college. I continued those studies in graduate school and spent some time over in Russia. Yes, I play the accordion, but not very well. I play the piano better. These days I'm trying to find more active hobbies to stay fit. :) I love to teach and make videos, but it's not easy to find the time. Taking care of family and friends comes first.
This was a popular subject with my viewers, so perhaps our English students don't hate it that much. Poor punctuation in writing is very irritating for the reader and I'm glad students are taking this subject seriously. Using good punctuation is impressive and makes reading a pleasure and not a chore.
It is the first time I have seen this CZcams channel. After watching this video, I am very glad my self that I found a good teacher for learning English at the same time I felt regret that I should have found it before. Thank you so much. Love from India❤️💚
I'm happy you found my channel. Enjoy my lessons. :) Here are all my playlists.

@@Englishwithjennifer Thank you so much.
After watching the lesson, I did the first exercise on the website and got 100%
I'm glad my videos can support your own work. Kind regards to you!
I totally agree. It is known as lazy English and has been encouraged by text talk used on social networking sites. This new series will definitely tidy up your students writing and communication skills. I''ll be watching for some new tips and tricks on the fine art of teaching.
you are alive?
Thanks for the support!
Thank you Jenni! for your lesson. For me it's very important. Because I need learn English quickly again thank a lot!
Thank you Jennifer! I discovered your channel yesterday and I'm enjoying a lot your videos. I hope to watch all lessons available on CZcams and read topics from your blog too. The pace you speak is incredible to improve my listening because you are always so calm and relaxed. Sucess for you! Hello from Brazil ;)
Thank you! It helpful! Long year ago I have problem with the sentences. Now I learn much better from you!

This is a great lesson I'm 40 and still found this a great tool to have under ones belt!
I just want to say 'Hello' to Miss Jennifer, our kind, lovely teacher :)
+12oad Hello from Boston!
This is great! My teachers said things like full stops were breathers so you don't get tired when reading. That's why I could not grasp the writing.
Hi James. Yes, punctuation guides us when we read aloud. Commas help, too, but it's the periods that really separate complete thoughts. If you're interested, I have a series on oral reading fluency. (See my playlists.) My readings reflect the use of punctuation. Have a great day!
Hi !
We use semicolon to avoid confusion in series of comma . such as
The winner were john, first; Bill, second; Tom, third.
We follow this pattern secondary information was apart by placing semicolon. But I don't understand why semicolon used first and then comma is used in this passage.
Ex.
The new store will have groceries on the lower level ; language , housewares , and electronics on the ground floor ; men's and women 's clothing on the second floor; and books ,music, and stationary on the third floor.
Hi. The commas should be used within each grouping to separate items. The semicolons separate the larger categories. Remember not to insert a space before a comma or a semicolon.
Hello. I've been teaching online for the past few years.
Thanks for watching. I hope you'll follow the series.
Hello Jennifer:
Please continue your works on writing. I told my wife about your abilities in some jobs. for example you are Russion originally and that you can play the Accardion and so on.
Good luck. Please do it for writing essays.
Thanks a lot.
Hello. Do you mean lessons for specific grades?
By the way, do you know I have additional exercises for this playlist on my website?
Regards!
Thanks for your patience. I hope to make more lessons soon.
Kind regards!
Thank you. i have never been good at punctuation. But thanks to you i think i have gotten a little better at it. I'm still not completely sure when to use ,
martin eike Hello Martin. Please go through the series, and be sure to try the exercises on my website to check your understanding. www.englishwithjennifer.com/exercises.php Also, I'll be opening a new writing course on WizIQ this week. Perhaps you'd be interested in learning more. I'll announce it on my mailing list and here. www.englishwithjennifer.com/teaching_schedule.php

What a nice comment! Yes, I like to be neat in tidy in most everything I do. I don't always succeed, but I try. :)
Kind regards!
Hello dear, respectfull Mrs. Jennifer! I'm grammar hungry again! :) I've experienced this problem in English over the last months -- Preposition usage.
E.g.: He has mastery in/of English skills.
For non-native English speakers, it's hard to make the right decision when it comes to prepositions. I hope to see from you a topic on this, because you're a great teacher!
Regards, Iura
Hello Iura. Prepositions are tricky. I have a playlist of lessons to help you learn their meanings an common uses. czcams.com/play/PLfQSN9FlyB6TT9yUCjC6QLTMphzLq2Ay0.html You can always check a particular phrase in a learner's dictionary. www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/mastery Good luck!
im from algeria its good to learn english with you
I am very happy. I never see no ane teach it. It is very important. Thank you. I ll keep learning and watching them. Sorry my bad english, lol.
I'm happy these are useful lessons. Please watch the full playlist. All playlists are on my website.

Thank you for the concern, Marcelo. My friends and family weren't affected, but it was a very tragic event.
Peace to you and to all!
Kind wishes! :)
thank you, Jennifer! I'm from Vietnam.
its nice to see the new updates from my favorite English teacher from you tube.
Then this will be the series for you to follow. I'm working on Lesson 2 right now. When I upload a video here, I'll also post an additional exercise on my website. You'll start to pick up on the rules with regular practice. Try to get into the habit of punctuating your sentences even on the Internet. Then it won't be so hard when you really need to write formal English for school. Good luck and thanks for watching! :)
Great tutorial. I will share this with people who would definitely benefit from your instruction. Thanks for posting and keep up the good work!
This series is more about writing at the sentence level. For essay writing, I recommend EnglishRyan here on CZcams. Kind regards to you and your wife! :)
As I have listen to your introduction statement for the punctuation marks, suddenly, a relief came, in to my sought and a smile on my face, and emotional comfort had taken all over my body.
Enjoy your studies!
I'm thankful for the support. Perhaps one day in the future I'll be able to offer more interaction with learners. :)
You're welcome.
(Note: Even with Internet slang/ IM or SMS language, you need periods, question marks, and exclamation points. Try to break up your thoughts with final sentence punctuation, okay?)
Have a good day!
You're very neat and tidy. Comgratulations on your great work helping English Students.
Keep on doing like this!
It's good. Very lucid and clear explanation.

+Muhammad Akram You're very welcome. Have a great week!
+Ibanezguitars Hi. You can use the full form: I will. If you use the contraction, however, you must use an apostrophe: I'll.
+Ibanezguitars :) If you'd really to study more intensively, consider a live class or self-paced course. I'll have more Tuesday Talks in March and April. Those classes combine speaking and writing. I have a class on accent reduction next week. www.englishwithjennifer.com/teaching_schedule.php
thank you so much teacher,god bless you forever
Thank you that helped me very well
Hi Jennifer....your lesson is perfect.....great enjoyment...thank you . I'm from Hungary.
Thank you for giving me the tips to improve my punctuation.
+Mohammed Farah You're welcome. There are more exercises on my website. :)
Essays are essays in English. :)
Ryan mainly teaches with the IELTS in mind, but it's useful for academic writing in general.
Ryan is from Canada, by the way. You can read his bio on his website.
Have a great day!
Thank you teacher for this wonderful lesson. Do you have a lesson on contractions on 'have' and 'had'? Can we use 'have' with third person singular to show possessions? Likewise, can we use the contraction of 'had' to denote possessions in past - e.g. 'I'd a car'? Also, are there any rules for using the future contractions - I'll have and We'll have?
Hello. I have videos on verb tenses, and I cover the basic uses of HAVE in my beginner series as well as in my basic English series. www.englishwithjennifer.com/students/yt-videos/
Listening is a wonderful skill to have, but we all need to feel comfortable writing, too. I hope to complete this series on punctuation in the next couple of months, so please check back. I hope you'll follow along.
Kind regards!
Thank you Jennifer! Your lesson was wonderful.
I'm happy to hear that. :) Have a good weekend!
And I'm happy that you're watching. I hope the lessons are helping you. I'll return to this series on punctuation soon.
Kind regards!

The next classes will be on Sept. 29. :)
oh ok I will share this wuth my mother
First and foremost, I would like to express my gratitude for the 4 years of amazing learning experience with you.
My question is:
can a pronoun be introductory? I'm writing my resume and I want to avoid redundancy. Instead of saying, (I have a degree in.., I have experience in... ) rather say (I, have a degree in..., Experience in...).
Thank you
Even native speakers seem to rush to get thoughts typed out on the Internet, and punctuation rules are not always given priority. As a result, thoughts aren't always written as clearly as they could be. I hope the series will review and reinforce the use of punctuation marks. Have a good day!
Hi Elizabeth! Can you give me examples? Which words do you have questions about?
