    Hello Jennifer.
    I really appreciate you giving me a good lecture. I used to be confused as well, when I tried to say to use this word. However, from now on, I think I can make a sentense with various forms of 'overwhelm'. Thanks a lot for your teaching.
    Here's my example sentenses.
    * As soon as she appeared on the stage, she overwhelmed the audience.
    * The audience was overwhelmed by her appearance.
    * Her overwhelming performance was so touching, so I couldn't take my eyes off her.

    Hi Jennifer, thanks for your useful video. You help me understand more about three word. But I have a problem and I hope you will help me. "Overwhelmed" is a passive verb but you had an example is: "I'm so overwhelmed!". So, can we use "overwhelmed" like a adjective?. Thank you.

    Hi,Jennifer
    Whenever I couldn’t see you, I get overwhelmed so easily.
    Feels like I’m somebody else.
    Honestly, you’re my best teacher.
    Wanna be friends!
    Have a great day!

    I don't like reading about politics, because I don't want to overwhelm myself.
    There are other channels on CZcams that I've subscribed as well, when I see their notifications, I feel so much overwhelmed.
    I prefer watching Jennifer's lessons, because her lessons aren't overwhelming. They are usually short and interesting :)

    The things he explained how to operate the machine was overwhelming
