Thanks a million, Jennifer! Very useful lesson! This is one step ahead to proper English. I always needed to think where is a singular or plural verb in these phrases earlier.
You're very welcome. It's been good for me to think about which patterns I use and why I use them. 😃 As I mentioned, variation is there, so I think that gives us all some room to make "mistakes" (if you even want to call them that). Take care, Sergei.
Yes, that's it. Rules are usually just guidelines for usage. If we strive for the norm most of the time, then we'll have effective communication. Thank you for visiting and watching the lesson!
That's fine. Keep in mind that the BrEng and AmEng patterns don't always match up, so I'd likely score the same (or worse!) on a quiz written by a teacher of British English. Just try to understand the logic of the patterns I chose. That's enough.
@@Englishwithjennifer I am now warming to the idea that "the couple is" is correct and "the couple are" is incorrect. However, "The pair is well suited to each other" sounds odd. The audience is likely to enjoy this movie" and "The family is in need of some luck" are both correct. It's all good fun!
According to the Cambridge dictionary,we can't use "any" with singular countable nouns unless it has the meaning "it doesn't matter which"... I have recently come across 2 sentences 1)I don't have any idea 2)Do you have any plan? Please tell me whether the meaning of "any" in the above sentences is "It doesn't matter which" or it has different meaning ? Is it grammatically correct to say "i don't have any plan" instead of "i don't have any plans "?
The basic guideline is that we can use "any" in questions and negatives. Do you have any plans? Do you have any idea what they want? I don't have any plans. I never have any plans. I don't have any idea. /I have no idea.
I wanted to say one thing that it is okay to say something in my English language, but the other person will understand only then he will be able to answer, If he does not understand, then how will he answer, he will have to explain in his language, he will have to tell through Google Translate, what I am saying to you. Now you will say that if such education is not given then you tell me how will you explain, in their language, you are very well teaches
Google Translate is a very useful tool, but it's not there to replace language instruction. If we do not have fluency in another language, we can use the translation tools to assist us.
Excellent lesson asusual.... I have recently come across a strange sentence...I am confused whether the construction of that sentence is correct or not...The sentence is "I have never seen so good a boy"....Can you please explain this construction if it is grammatically correct?
We usually see the pattern: so + adverb or adjective (so fast, so nicely, so nice, so beautiful) such + noun phrase (such a fast pace, such a nice boy, such a beautiful city) Patterns get broken, but I recommend the standard patterns. :)

It's possible: Who do we know who could help us? - Well, there's my sister. She's home now. There's also the young man who lives in apartment 2B. He seems nice. Let's ask him for help.
good job, but I am dizzy between is, are, was,, and were...in the UK and the USA, I have had problems at school, and there are teachers who punished me a myriad of times about it. As a result. I write my way.
Yes, the overlap of quantifiers and collective nouns is a bit tricky to navigate as is the variation between singular and plural verbs with collective nouns. I hope I can help develop your "feel" for the patterns. Since variation exists, you'll likely be understood no matter which verb you choose. :) I'm sorry you had teachers who punished you unnecessarily for grammar mistakes, which might not have been mistakes at all! Take care, Manuel.
I have a little confuse. We have three sentences one normal sentence and two dependent clause sentences. As:--- 1 ) This is the time when THERE is 'a' book. And 2 ) This is the time when THERE is 'my' book. 3) There is your book. What are differences in those Subordinate clauses sentences and One Normal sentence . Is only difference 'A' and 'MY' , YOUR . Question)) the meaning of THERE in those sentences.::--- In which sentence word "THERE" is working as "Adverb of Place" and as "Dummy subject" Please mam focus my question what I have asked . May be example is not meaningful . Example is only for explaining my question
Let's use clearer sentences: 1) When I went to the library, I looked for a book. (This could be any book or a book that I haven't named for you yet.) 2) When I went to the library, I looked for my book. (This sounds like a book that I wrote. Or maybe it was a book that I checked out but then forgot to take home.) 3) When I went to the library, I looked for your book. (This sounds like a book that you wrote. Or maybe it was a book that you checked out but then forgot to take home.)

@@Englishwithjennifer I have no problems ,only when in the USA is and was is used instead of are and we're.people e.g. were in UK. Was in usa
Yes, British English favors plural verbs with collective nouns, as I understand.
Splendid lesson. Thank you. A

Perfect as always. master at vocabulary.. delivery is so soothing.. Best is that there are no hard and fast rules, descriptive norms prevail

This is a very helpful lesson. I scored 9 out of 10 in the quiz.

It's interesting to consider the different viewpoints, but I wouldn't call one or the other choice wrong. Patterns are often preferences.
According to the Cambridge dictionary,we can't use "any" with singular countable nouns unless it has the meaning "it doesn't matter which"...

Do you have any plans?

I don't have any plans.
I never have any plans.
I don't have any idea. /I have no idea.

As we know use of "THERE" with indefinite nouns but
In which situation we use Dummy"THERE" with "DEFINITE NOUNS" .

1 ) This is the time when THERE is 'a' book.

3) There is your book.
What are differences in those Subordinate clauses sentences and One Normal sentence .
Is only difference 'A' and 'MY' , YOUR .

the meaning of THERE in those sentences.::---
In which sentence word "THERE" is working as "Adverb of Place" and as "Dummy subject"
Please mam focus my question what I have asked .
May be example is not meaningful .
