This explanation was absolutely crystal clear. Thank you for posting.
Thanks so much, Paul S! We hope you enjoy the other videos in this series as well!
@@SWLF Indeed, I've clicked the Subscribe button too. I'm looking forward to watching your other videos.
Short and sweet...
I would recommend a topic on types of poem either in a single video or as a collection...
Thanks so much for the feedback, Praveen! We do have a list of various poetic forms that we'll be getting to in the future: odes, ballads, and so on. If you have any specific suggestions, let us know!
I need some help with this one. If I said "That's unfortunate. (pause) For you." Is that a rhetorical device?
Indeed it is! We're thinking that is a paraprosdokian--one of the funniest rhetorical devices.
@@SWLF You all are amazing! You've got another subscriber. Funny enough, I ask this because I'm lesson planning a pop culture lesson and a character from star wars uses that line. Thanks again!
@@FreelancerAlpha1-1 Thanks so much, Paul! And good luck with that lesson!

Hi. I'd like to ask if it is also possible to put the preposition "to" before each verb enumerated in the sentence as in "She likes to hike, to dance, and to swim."
Great question, Joy! It sounds bit more formal but it is certainly acceptable. See the final lines to Tennyson's poem "Ulysses": www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/45392/ulysses
