Confusing Grammar in English | Lesson for Advanced Learners
Vložit
- čas přidán 21. 07. 2024
- Grammar can be really confusing because sometimes the rules just don't make much sense. In this lesson, I want to test your grammar knowledge with some challenging questions. This quiz was taken from a live-lesson that I did a while back, and I've shorted it by condensing the questions along with my explanation of the answers.
The quiz is for advanced learners, and my hope is that you will learn something new after watching the lesson. Because if you understand this confusing grammar, it means that you're a step closer to English fluency.
Let me know in the comments how you did on the quiz. Good luck!

MESSAGE TO YOU 😊
Thanks so much for being a part of our community. Learning English is an enriching experience that brings everyone all around the world closer together. Be sure to say “Hello” and write to us in the comments. We love hearing from all of you.
THANKS FOR WATCHING!
As per Oxford Dictionary : NONE OF : When you use NONE OF with an uncountable noun,the verb is in the singular:none of the work was done.
When you use NONE OF with a plural noun or pronoun,or a singular noun referring to a group of people or things, you can use either a singular or plural verb. None of the trains is/are going to London. None of her family has/have been to college.
So , none of the bananas is / are ripe .
dear Sir! You are one of the best teachers in the world. I truly appreciate your teaching methods.
Hello Wes! I really enjoyed watching your interactive quizz -- concise, clear and to the point. I had so much fun watching it and, at the same time, reviewing some of the trickest advanced grammar rules. I greatly appreciate your dedication to help non-native English speakers master the basics of American English and, for that matter, cannot thank you enough. On a separate note, I truly hope the unexpected emergency that you recently experienced in your family has been resolved by now (prayers with you all and fingers crossed here also!). I hope you and your family stay safe, stay healthy and enjoy the remainder of the week. Best regards from a delightfully cloudy and chilly São Paulo!
Excellent can describe the way how you plan your lessons. I got it well but I was a bit inattentive at the last one because I let myself to believe that you went to New York by plane. Thanks for the chance to fill a quiz out!
Thank you for this video!
If I may add some more examples:
to accept vs. except
advice vs. to advise
apart vs. a part
altogether vs. all together
(to) assent vs. ascent
eminent vs. imminent vs. immanent
council vs. to counsel
illicit vs. to elicit
to precede vs. to proceed
quote vs. quotation
stationary vs. stationery
reluctant vs. reticent
principal vs. principle
already vs. all ready
Best regards,
Anna
PS: As for the noun “advice”, maybe you could mention and explain with which verbs it is commonly used, e.g., to give/provide/hand out/accept/ask for, etc. Many thanks!
It's really cool that not only do u test us but also u explain everything.
I didn't make mistakes but brushed up on all the grammar that I slightly remember
Keep it up, man
Watching your videos on grammar is really worth it.
It's amazing! Thanks, and please, add more grammar lessons! 🙂
Thank you once again, Wes for another challenging lesson .
Wow, you are good in explaining why grammar is like this. Best grammar teacher I've ever had! Thank you!
Wow, thank you! 😃
. Put glass here. Is here object or adverb or object+ adverb. I think adverb+object. Here Is an adverb as locative complement
That was indeed a great exercise. Please go ahead with it.
Happy to hear that Suresh. 👍
You're definitely right,Sir!
I got all the answers right. But, I did not know the proper rules behind it. Dude, I just went with the flow of the sentence. 😂
BTW, I appreciate that you made me realise the rules.❤

Thx teacher. Incidentally I am so frustrated that another teacher was teaching the use of future perfect tense WITHOUT explaining the difference with SIMPLE future. The way you are illustrating is as if you are correcting my grammar with AN EXPLANATION. Thx again

The craziest part of grammar is prepositions.
Thanks for commenting & checking out the lesson. 👍
It was a great lesson
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the quiz. 👍
It is correct to say "None of the bananas is ripe."
In this sentence, "none" is an indefinite pronoun that is treated as singular, even though it refers to a group of things (in this case, bananas). Therefore, the verb that follows it should also be singular.
The verb "is" agrees in number with "none," and it is correct to use the singular form of the verb "to be" in this sentence.
❤an excellent explanation.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for your comment. 😊
Thanks so much🌹 + Can we say "leave for somewhere" and "laugh at it" or not?
Glad you enjoyed the lesson. Those phrases work. 👍
Gustav has a question: Why is the answer "I get so frustrated" when the verb is in present tense but the adjective is in the past? Frustrated has an -ed ending so he thinks it's in the past. -Ing endings don't exist as verbs tenses in German but he knows that in English -ing is a present tense.
I don't know how to answer that question, I don't know why we native English speakers say "I am frustrated right now."
He didn't know how to ask. He's too preoccupied by something going on, over which we have no control. We SHOULD have - the person is our child/stepchild, but we don't
FTR I have days where I do worse at German for no obvious reason. So it's not only because infra emotional distress.
Hi Vicki. He should just think of them as adjectives. There are different sets, -ed adjectives and -ing adjectives (frustrated/frustrating; bored/boring; excited/exciting). Then just try to remember the rules that -ed adjectives describe the way a person feels and -ing adjectives describe a thing or situation. 👍
@@InteractiveEng Adjectives aren't in past or present, are they?
I wasn't sure of this lesson myself; I mean it was hard even for me, so it really was advanced. Some of it I can't remember learning until I was in college, taking Written & Oral English Communication as a Minor.
@@VickiBee Where are you from if i may ask?
Fantastic
Thank you! Cheers! 😃
