Thank you for posting this for me, a 27-year-old person who didn't understand this all in school. I've already read often and much, so I intrinsically understood the rules of English and what good and engaging writing looks like. However, as I have begun to write fiction and beta for other fiction writers, I am learning, on my own, the vocabulary and specifics and other necessities. I'm really grateful to the both of you for explaining things plainly, but not as if I were a kindergartner. (Not that there is anything wrong with kindergartners)
This is just what I needed clarified. It's been years since I learned in grade school and needed a quick refresh course for early linguistics courses. Thanks.
Honestly, khan academy has helped me so much. Ever since I was in year 5, I've been subscribing to them and looking for their videos when I dont understand a lesson! I'm now in year 8 and I still enjoy them and understand them really well. Keep it up!
this is soso good ! i'm doing this for my end of year exams and was so confused so i checked out random videos but this was definitely the best ! thank you
I looove the way you explain things like clauses and conjunctions. So easy to understand. But, could you make a video about noun phrases and verb phrases to be more specific, please? I have trouble distinguishing both of them. Thank you :)
I think you are confusing form and function, which will baffle some people. "With the blue shirt" is a prepositional phrase (form) but it functions as a postmodifier of the noun (e.g., friend) "for twenty days" is a prepositional phrase which functions as an adverbial in a sentence
Having always been keen on caring for people,susan decided to become a nurse. So, here having always been keen on caring for people is a phrase or clause.
In “ under the ocean blue” how is ocean the subject? I always thought that a noun can’t be a subject or object if it has a preposition (under) before it.
The ocean is the subject because it is being described. a subject is often something that is described in the sentence. example: women are objects. the women are the subject because they are being described
I think they mean it is the subject of this phrase. You might use this phrase as part of a sentence, such as, "The submarine is under the ocean blue." In this sentence, the subject is 'the submarine'.
Nope :) Simple sentences are made of one independent clause, but complex and compound sentences are made of multiple clauses. Compound sentences are made of 2 or more independent clauses (I think separated by commas and conjunctions). Complex sentences are made of one independent and one dependent clause. Hope this helps :)
But i have read in book "wren and martin" that clause contains subject and predicate not subject and verb. so a predicate is anything about subject.Then why "under the blue ocean" not a clause? i think it is, because here ocean is subject and blue is predicate.
It sounds correct because it's written with the question "who are you talking to?" That is exactly what a phrase is. It can't stand alone or has no meaning of its own. Phrase is a part of sentence so it's not a complete sentence. That's what I understood atleast.
@@englishwithlouis8366 Is it possible that a phrase has a 'subject' and not a 'verb'? Initially she said, a phrase has neither a subject nor a verb. Later she says, this phrase has a subject but no verb.
@@lovishsingla3457 They use the example: "The best ham sandwich in Oklahoma". There is no verb so it isn't a clause, it's a noun phrase. But we can use this noun phrase as a subject if we add a verb. "The best ham sandwich in Oklahoma is made by my uncle Tom." Now the phrase has become the subject of the clause (with verb "is made" - passive) and is part of the clause. The subject is: "The best ham sandwich in Oklahoma.."
"Where she lay" is a dependent clause. It has a subject and a verb, but it cannot stand alone. Clauses that begin with "wh" words are usually dependent.
how about "I know the man who stands in front of you" . "I know the man" is a main clause. so how about "who stands in front of you"? is it a phrase or a clause and why? since the sentence is a simple sentence
I don't understand what is the different between a phrase and a sentence???? why do we have to separate it out into two??? same thing with a clause.............a clause is a sentence, and why it need to be call as a clause.....

Nice work khan academy keep it up
Shouldn't the independent clause, "the wizard who cast a spell" be "the wizard who castS a spell"?
cast is past perfect tense, casts is simple present :)
Would the sentence "Under the ocean blue" be a prepositional phrase ? The word under is a location, which equates a preposition.
CT! yes it is ^^
Is it adverbial phase
Location
Yes it is prepositional phrase which functions as an adverb of location. Prepositional phrases can function as an adverb or an adjectif.
Thank You for this, I didn't quite understand this before but now I do!
Wow guys this is called explaination u guys dont know how much help u give us by doing it which helps in exams. Great achievement for u guys

My brain is filled with all the information here that’s how much information there is🧠

The ocean is the subject because it is being described. a subject is often something that is described in the sentence. example: women are objects. the women are the subject because they are being described
I think they mean it is the subject of this phrase.
You might use this phrase as part of a sentence, such as, "The submarine is under the ocean blue." In this sentence, the subject is 'the submarine'.

Good evening Rosie Ma'am N David Sir
Great video
So, are all sentences, technically a clause?
Nope :) Simple sentences are made of one independent clause, but complex and compound sentences are made of multiple clauses. Compound sentences are made of 2 or more independent clauses (I think separated by commas and conjunctions). Complex sentences are made of one independent and one dependent clause. Hope this helps :)
Put simply, all sentences contain at least one clause, but can have multiple.
amazing
Awesome!!!
Supportive during the tests
Hi, thank's for the lesson. I've a question
Why clauses some times could be sentences and sometimes they can't?
How about "that is on the corner" from "The lot that is on the corner needs mowing."? Is it a phrase or a clause?
Well, it was great but what is the difference between a sentence and a clause
But i have read in book "wren and martin" that clause contains subject and predicate not subject and verb.
so a predicate is anything about subject.Then why "under the blue ocean" not a clause? i think it is, because here ocean is subject and blue is predicate.
@@jayj.14 hmm... thanks.
I’m also khan❤
I am an 11th grader and I can't believe my stupid teacher is wasting her time on reteaching what everyone knows.
I think a phrase can be a sentence informally like
-Who are u talking to?
-My best mate.
It sounds correct because it's written with the question "who are you talking to?" That is exactly what a phrase is. It can't stand alone or has no meaning of its own. Phrase is a part of sentence so it's not a complete sentence. That's what I understood atleast.
Isn't 'with the blue shirt' a prepositional phrase'? Why was it said to be an adjectival phrase?
"Rapunzel was shocked," is a clause.
Thanks for this excellent explanation! :)
Thank you so much Khan Academy
What do you mean by "acts like a part of speech" the phrase?

is this sentence a clause?
Hey, Does a phrase have a subject?
If a "phrase" has a subject and a verb, it becomes a clause. So no, a phrase doesn't have a subject.
@@englishwithlouis8366 Is it possible that a phrase has a 'subject' and not a 'verb'? Initially she said, a phrase has neither a subject nor a verb. Later she says, this phrase has a subject but no verb.

The subject is: "The best ham sandwich in Oklahoma.."
So... "where she lay" is a clause??
Actually it's a clause because there is a subject verb combination she lay..
"Where she lay" is a dependent clause. It has a subject and a verb, but it cannot stand alone. Clauses that begin with "wh" words are usually dependent.
wonderful
while going to school .....is it a phrase or clause plz xplain
Seema Sheikh it's a phrase as it has no subject.
"under the ocean blue" how is "the ocean" here the subject? according to an english rule, a subject can't be a part of a prepositional phrase right?

What app do you use for writing

how about "I know the man who stands in front of you" . "I know the man" is a main clause. so how about "who stands in front of you"? is it a phrase or a clause and why? since the sentence is a simple sentence
I like David
I thought 'for twenty' is a prepositional phrase that functions as adverb in that sentence
