The teaching methods in your videos are clear, concise, and effective for study without the boring soullessness of texts like Strunk and White's. They're helping me to firm up the understanding I used to use as a proofreader that I soon hope to be able to use again. Thank you.
wonderful explanation. Many say that we combine an independent clause and a dependent clause with a subordinating conjunction. Not the correct definition. From your explanation, I understand that a dependent clause can be combined with an independent clause when the dependent clause begins with a conjunction.
Thanks as always. In your last example you said often people ask: "Why didn't you...?" and they answer "Because I am exhausted." If they answered, "It's because I'm exhausted." Would that be correct? I'm probably overthinking my way into silly questions. Sorry
Don't apologize! In casual conversation, it is completely fine and acceptable to speak using dependent clauses. In fact, it would sound unnatural to not speak this way. However, if you were writing an essay or responding to a formal email, you could use your example. "It's because I'm exhausted." or "I'm not going because I'm exhausted."
@@SparkleEnglish thanks so very much for the clear answer. I'm really trying to understand and learn about spelling, grammar and writing. I still have a long way to go, but I'm enjoying it more because of you, grammar monster, and grammar revolution.
Got them all correct in the quiz. I do have a question regarding comma placement. "Grandpa is taking a nap because he is tired." You didn't place a comma before the word because. Why is that?
Great job! That's a good question. We usually don't use commas before because. If it was a coordinating conjunction, we would use a comma. "Grandpa is taking a nap, for he is tired." "Grandpa is taking a nap because he is tired. We only use a comma before because if the clause or sentence is ambiguous or difficult to understand without the comma.

I never learned any of this at school lol. Great channel 👍👍👍
So basically independent clauses act as adverbial phrases, because subordinate conjunctions answer the questions "why" or "when." I think.
This topic made no sense in a one hour class, but made total sense in short CZcams video.

@@SparkleEnglish ok. Knew the word because was a subordinating conjunction, but I didn't know you could punctuate this way as well. Thank you.
