In less that 30 minutes, you get a super easy lesson that takes you on a refreshing,
jargon-free journey to Phrase Paradise. You will understand what a phrase is, and how it is different from a clause. It will show you connections between Noun, adjectival, and prepositional phrases in minutes, using just one single sentence as example. It offers you crystal clear and brief explanations on functions of various phrases, and the questions you need to ask verbs and nouns to identify them instantly.
Usha Pandit shows you the critical links between Phrases and the 'infant terrible' of Advanced grammar, namely the dreaded Transformation of sentences from Simple to Complex. We will also recognize routine phrases that we use in everyday life.
The video must be viewed several times to reinforce your understanding. Make notes, and identify and practice your phrases to master them. Work holistically with clauses and types of phrases. No one will give you tips like we do, or demystify these bear bugs of grammar like us, and that, in record time of 28 minutes. Do not miss this powerful lesson.
Make grammar work for you.

Thank you
It seems I am back to school...a highly experienced teacher as can be clearly seen with years of teaching she's embarked upon a pedestal where she's unbeatable.
Great respects ma'am. We need educators like you to give a lucid, comprehensible and understandable explanation of such tedious grammar topics
Thank you so much Rita for this lovely heartfelt comment. If you are a teacher yourself do visit our website www.mindsprings.in for our books and courses.
It's literally '1' day before my English exam and I was stucking only with this chapter mam. you have cleared it only in 30 minutes. Your explanation is way better than school teachers. Very nice explanation mam.
All the best. Good luck.
Wish I had you as my English teacher in school ma'm. Simply loving your videos. Thank you so much.
You are welcome!
Thank you very much madam..IAM really lucky to meet you..IAM an english teacher in a school... excellent , marvelous .. videos..
Thanks Mohammed :)
Impressed by your videos I ordered for some 9 books. I’ve just received them in a bad condition. They’ve not been packed but just handed over to the courier service who has put them in a plastic cover & delivered. The cover was completely torn & the books are torn on the sides. It’s a bad experience. I’ve sent an email regarding this to Mindsprings.
We are very sorry to hear this. You have absolutely nothing to worry about. Who was the courier? We need to take this up. You will not only get new books as replacement at no extra cost, but you can also keep the ones you have received. Please send us a snapshot of the damaged books for our records, and to show the courier agent. Thank you for your initial purchase. Usha Pandit.
Dear Ma’am
My sole purpose was to bring this to your notice & nothing else. I wish these books were delivered in bubble wrapping or carton box instead of just that thin plastic cover.
We don’t want the refund or the replacement. Never mind, we are keeping them as they are because the quality of the rich content you’ve given in those books are far dear to us than the physical quality received.
Thanks for your response.

You are indeed a wonderful teacher. Please keep uploading such grammar lessons.
Thanks kkhush.
Kudos mam. You are a born teacher now morphed into a leader in teaching English. Nambiar
Thanks Gangadharan :)
I was always confused in phrases but ma'am your videos have cleared all my doubts . Thank You so much . Keep posting such wonderful videos
It's my pleasure
Thankyou because u made me to answer phrases easily
Identify the phrases and their types.
1. I have no time to waste on trifles.
2. It grieved me to hear of your illness.
3. I did it of my own free will.
Mam I have a confusion in these three sentences. Please help me out🙏
And your way of teaching is really good😊💕
I don't answer questions. I will correct if you answer them.
@@TheMindspringsEnglishTeacher To waste on trifles is infinitive phrase
To hear of your illness is also infinitive phrase
Of my own free will is adverb phrase/ prepositional phrase.
Amma make me correct if possible 🙏
Feels like back to school. A nostalgic lesson indeed.
Indeed
Excellent lesson Usha. Much clearer than anything I’ve read in a textbook. If you have time I would really appreciate a diagram of the full sentence parsed into the different phrases. Many thanks Ruth
Thanks Ruth. The best way to understand grammar is by keeping it simple. The diagram method is very complicated and expect the learner to know all the parts well. I prefer brackets. PAN - nest of boxes. (preposition, adjective, noun order) This is the structure.
You remove Prepositional phrase (P) (beginning with a preposition) and what is left is a noun phrase N (beginning with the determiner and ending with a noun) You remove the noun from the end, and what is left is the adjectival phrase. (A) e.g. (on) the very long and intricately ornate (table). Now you can draw a diagram if you wish.
@@TheMindspringsEnglishTeacher Thank you so much Usha for taking the time to get back to me. I really appreciate that. Yes, I can see your point that diagrams are confusing and I will use your tips and perhaps colour code the different phrases.
Kind regards and keep safe.
Ruth
A teacher of grammar with an excellent type of teaching to make us undestand phrases easily without pressure.
No hesitation to say about your amazing experience and easy teaching ..... indescribable and unimaginable...
Thank you! 😃
I can teach better than USha Pandit mam

Your reasoning is unnecessary.

Thank you ma'am
I understood this topic after you explained it
I didn't understood it before you explained it
Can you make a vedio of the chapter the great chess challenge from your English literature textbook of ICSE schools of standard 7
Plz plz plz plz plz plz plz plz plz plz plz
Wow mam you teach us very well I don't like the phrase grammar but now I like it
Thanks mam
🥰
Thanks for liking
Omg ,what a explanation ! Mam. Salute to you for making me understand the topic which I had been trying to understand for 3 months.
You are most welcome.
Thank you Mam . I have two more doubts (from Wren & Martin) please enlighten.
I have no time to waste on trifles. Phrase-to waste on trifles Phrase Type(My answer)-Noun Phrase (to waste - Infinitive)
But the according to the answer key it is Adjective phrase.
I enjoy walking in the fields. Phrase (according to me) - in the fields Phrase type (according to me) - Adverb phrase (of place)
The book says that the phrase is - walking in the fields and phrase type - noun phrase
I am really grateful to you for making this excellent video.
Your direct object is (no time) and you will have to ask for what? to get "to waste on trifles" as your answer. Hence time is modified. You have time for other things, but not to waste on trifles. Hence adjectival. It is correct.
@@TheMindspringsEnglishTeacher Thank you so much ma'am.
I love all your lessons and they are much more clearer than anyone
Thank you so much.

Hi, mam I am from 8th
I did not understand about adverbs phrase
and your video is very helpful
Thank you mam :)
Glad to hear that. Do ask if you have any doubts.
Teacher ,you are benefitable for my english. Many thak.
This should be: Teacher you are beneficial to my English learning. Many thanks. :)
I would like to request you all to please like the video if you are watching it.
That is sweet of you. Thank you.
It very useful and informative (Noun phrase), in the video a lots to learn about phrase(prepositonal phrase),because of your teaching to know about phrases importance(adverbial phrase). Thanking you for wonderful videos. I hope that i have given comments by phrase except this sentence. Correct me if I wrong.
In your first sentence the verb 'is' is missing. 'very useful and informative session' is a noun phrase. A noun phrase must have a noun. ' in the video' (prep phrase) again if you want to continue, you need a verb there is a lot to learn - so this is not part of the phrase. You have written an adverbial phrase taking care not use a verb, but the sentence is grammatically incorrect. Because of your teaching is enough to make it adverbial. Use regular sentences from exercises instead of making your own at this stage.
superb explanation.Loved your video. waiting for more videos to improve a lot.Thanks a lot
Thank you. There are several videos. Please go to my playlist.
I am sure I will be excellence if I watch your videos repeately. There are two clauses here one is independent and another is subordinate.
Yes you need to watch repeatedly if you want to study and practice with several sentences till you are doing it easily.
Your way of teaching depicts your hard struggle in life , stay Blessed 😇

You are a great teacher and a wonderful woman...
Thank you! 😃
I am bit confused in adverbial phrase, if preposition is used in an adverbial phrase then how to differentiate between adverbial and adjective phrases.
Although session was excellent, learnt what I didn't learn in my school life. Need some more sessions in 2022.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
A prepositional phrase starts with a preposition. It could tell us more about the noun or about the verb in the sentence. When it describes the noun it is adjectival e.g. The girl {in the pink polka-dotted dress} is my sister. Q: which girl?
Or it can be adverbial e.g. The boy ran {in a tearing hurry} toppled the cart. Q: ran how?
So the function in the sentence will decide whether the prepositional phrase is adjectival or adverbial.
Keep watching. :)
A wonderful video..it has helped me a lot to get rid of my confusion..thank you ma'am..stay well
My pleasure 😊
Extremely useful ma'am, pls continue to upload videos
Thanks Anantharaman.
Dear Ma'am
Thank You so much. The way you taught is extremely easy..... Very useful....
Just one query ma'am, How can we differentiate adjective phrase from prepositional phrase, as both have prepositions?
an adjectival phrase will describe a noun. a prepositional phrase will show you the relationship between 2 nouns.
e.g. The man with an anger towards dogs (with an anger etc. is adjectival and tells us about the man.)
the house near the long red phone booth (near the long red phone booth is prepositional) It shows the relationship between the house and the booth in terms of space.
Very nice explain ma'am
Thanks a lot
Excellent. Nothing more to say.
Many thanks!
@@TheMindspringsEnglishTeacher it's not many thanks, much thanks

Mam thank you for posting this video. it has been very helpful as I have been seeing this video multiple times
It's my pleasure. The only way you will completely catch it is with practice. So do that too.
You are really very excellent mam
Thanks a lot
Madam
Your teaching is really helping me improve a lot in english
Please do more videos on grammar
Please go to my playlist. There are several videos on grammar.
Dear Ms. Pandit, could you clarify if phrases should be taught before clauses or the other way around?
Always phrases before clauses. Phrases build to clauses when verbs are introduced into them. It is that simple.
I wish to be teacher like you
My blessings.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge amma 🙏
My pleasure.
It was a really helpful miss.... Miss can you clear my doubt, " He won the prize by means of trickery".Miss I think it's Adverb phrase.. Miss am I right?
There is a video on noun, adjectival and adverbial clauses. Take a look at that. It will clear your doubts.
@@TheMindspringsEnglishTeacher ohh there is verb so miss it is a clause.. Yes miss I will definitely see that video..
He=Subject
won=verb
prize=object
the=modifier
by means of trickery= object of a preposition
You should take a look at sentence diagramming; it will make your life 10x easier.
Maam can you please answer these questions
Pick out the phrases and say whether they are
Adjective Phrases or Adverb Phrases.
a. He is a man of means.
b. The train is behind time.
c. He speaks like a born orator.
d. I have no time to waste on trifles.
e. He did it against his will.
Maam please it's very imporrant
I never answer questions. I only correct you. Please try first.
Thank you so much mam for this excellent video....it would be great if you kindly help a little a bit more by making a video on the other types of phrases. For instance, prepositional , participle , absolute phrase and phrase in apposition.
Noted
Thankyou so much ❤️ This was very helpful..👍
Glad it was helpful!
Such a helpful video for me
Glad it was helpful!

Your question is not clear.
Excellent teaching mam..

Many many thanks
You remind me of my school teacher Rajeshwari Mam🤩🤩. I love the way you teach 😄😄
Wow, thanks
Most videos I saw on you tube weren't making the contents of phrases clear, they just seemed to beat round the bush and narrate the stereotypical definition without proper justification. Only when I bumped upon your video , could I actually understand the concepts... although the video is long but the longevity is inevitable if one has to comprehend the contents well.🙏
Thank you. Phrases are indeed foundation to the more complicated grammar ahead. Yes, it is a rather long video and I tend to repeat myself by sheer force of teacher habit. As you rightly say it is needed for comprehension and clarity.
Crystal clear teaching...thanks a lot madam.
You are welcome 😊
Thanks a lot 😊!!! Can you please and asap, (have my exams on 14 Oct 2020), clear this doubt of mine : " He studied at a school for a few years." ..'For a few years' ...how can this be adverb phrase ??🙏🏻
Yes it is an adverbial phrase of time.
This was very helpful, thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful!
O my god ma’am I was sooooo confused at the beginning then I saw this video. It was easy
Thank you soo much
You are most welcome. Thank you
The way of your teaching is superb and spectacular dear mam.
Thanks a lot
Mam you are a excellent teacher in the world keep on doing mam
Thanks Mudit.
Hi teacher I am Ishwari from St Lawrence High school
Dear Madam
Recently I have started watching your videos and found that you are using a very light colour pen for writing on the blackboard which is not clearly visible hence it is requested that please use dark colour pens so that all may watch and learn properly. Thanks with regards Subhash Chandra Agrawal
Yes, correct. Sorry about that. Have changed pens of late.
Very good
explanation
Thanks for liking
Mam this is the reply to the question asked 3 days back. "Soon to leave the country for good" is marked as the phrase in the sentence- Soon to leave the country for good, he visited his neighbours for the last time. My doubt is if I should ask the question "why did he visit his neighbours" or "when did he visit his neighbours"
Main clause - He visited his neighbours. Verb - visited. You can only ask the verb the questions when, why, where, how or on what condition to get an adverb. If you ask why did he visit? your answer will begin with because. If you ask when did he visit? Your answer will begin with when he was going to leave.... What does soon to leave indicate? reason or time? Does it mean he visited because he was leaving soon? or does it mean he visited when he was leaving which was soon?
Amazing Video
Thanks!
An excellent way of teaching
Thanks for liking
He was wearing a crown made of gold. The phrase starts with made but it is an adjectival phrase. You told that it begins with a preposition. Please explain me ma'am.
Yes. A prepositional phrase (that starts with a preposition) has 2 functions - adjectival (describing a noun) or adverbial modifying the verb). So here it is adjectival. Hope it is clear now.
Yes ma'am . Thank you. Today was my examination and I found no problem in figuring out phrases and clauses.
The way you explain, it's too good
Thanks Najia
Mam today is my exam..
It helps me alot to understand phrases.
I remember it life time...
Thanks mam❤️
Glad to hear that
Thank you 😊 ❤️ please upload videos ever day love from Saksham😁😁🙂🙂❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Welcome :)
Mam can u tell me one sentence. Underline and tell it's kind.
It was very hot in the afternoon. (If it is adverb phrase do tell the category)
find a group of words without a verb = phrase. then ask it the verb the adverbial questions: when, why, how, where? and you should get the phrase as your answer. You do it now. I will correct you.
