HOLYWOOD SHOULD MAKE A FILM ABOUT THIS GREAT TEACHER! YOU HAVE A GREAT TALENT TO EXPLAIN COMPLICATED STUFF SIMPLY👍👍👍
+Albert Einstein True, and you too, Einstein.
I have seen other videos regard the colon and semicolon. None of them made me fully understand but after I saw your video, I now understand clearly, you are the best teacher, thank you.
Hi everyone. He is the best teacher I have ever seen in my life. His videos are a must-watch for many. He has been doing a wonderful job and he has helped me to improve my English in general. Another thing to take into account is his advice on some useful books which I know. They are good books indeed.
The best and most professional explanation I´ve seen. Thanks
I love your charismatic teaching; it's so refreshing. That said I'd teach it a tad differently. For example, in the semi-colon, I'd begin with two independent clauses, then build them with the conjunctions, then remove the conjunctions and release them with semi colons.
You Sir, are a true legend! THANKS.
Helped me pass my exam at my London school. Thanks Mr. Nicholls!
That's great news. I'm glad to have helped.
gigi taylor you
thanks
I'm from Middle East My son benefited a lot from this video. Thank you very much for this wonderful explanation
There are 1 or 2 things I would change in retrospect :) Please consider getting your son my Grammar book, if he enjoyed this class: www.amazon.co.uk/Grammar-Theory-Practice-David-Nicholls/dp/B08QWK88NQ/ref=sr_1_2?crid=1B9DAOVJT9GOT&dchild=1&keywords=grammar+in+theory+and+in+practice&qid=1615842935&sprefix=grammar+in+the%2Caps%2C191&sr=8-2
Your the best; i enjoy watching you . I watch you at 8:00 pm
I love your explanation ☺️
His students are pretty lucky : the online students too.... He is one the rarest English teachers of all time....
Well done Sir! Your explanation was fantastic: prodigiously clear.
Best explanation ever. Thank you.
Thank you. It helped me solve my doubts.
I like the use of semicolon , they shouldn't get rid of it entirely from the english language ; they should keep it , because it's fun to use with more functionality in sentences then a comma or a period .

Very good comment.
Semicolon is also used when the Pause is more than;the comma.
Other examples
He didn't stop firing;he hunt down the killer.
The Jury was silent; the accused got the advantage.

How great teacher you are! Thanks a lot for your kind consideration of free class. Please don't deprive us by stopping your class.
WOW! Excellent explanation! I wish I had found your video years ago; nevertheless, I just now found out how to use both the colon and semicolon. I struggled throughout college when it came to using these two distinct punctuation marks; moreover, now I can use it with a little more understanding. I am not sure if I used both punctuation marks correctly: did I? Thanx!

I would love to visit Italy: I have always loved Italian food. (the second part explains why the person wants to visit Italy) Can one use a colon ?
thanks for demystifying the semicolon
Very helpful.
Very informative.
To clear my doubts in English, I will only watch your videos. Nothing else😀
thank you so much
Awesome!
Thank you sir.
Thank you. I learnt
Thanks!
Thanks.
Great explanation
Thanks for the lesson. Do we need a semicolon between the items in the complicated list, say: 'My business interests involve the following: construction; land, engineering and construction surveys; rental business; restaurant business etc'?
Yes, we do. But you use them too often. Your list is a simple list. So you just need the colon, and all the other elements should be commas. Also, I would put 'engineering and construction surveys' at the end of the list because it's easier to read.
Please make a video on use of Semicolon as a super comma.

How many times do I have to write that this Teacher is the best? :D Great, Great job!
Is there a rule so as to when to use a comma before 'and' as in "Eggs, Flour, and Milk." ??
thank you very much my teacher ,
I lot of children's text books STILL make the mistake of not having an independent clause before the : sigh 😔
thank you this really helped me: ill pass english now......
did i use that color correctly?
thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you were great in the video. I learnt a lot. Can you make a video on usage of " ". will appreciate it. if other users are seeing my comment please provide me a link or something to know that. Thanks!
thanks :)
In your sentence, in the comments:- "This lesson which deals with the comma is part of a series of lessons I am making on how we use punctuation marks. Please go to my website for more information..." - Is missing at least 1 comma ;-) - btw excellent video and information, much better than some of the rubbish on here.
p.s. - The Bristol links are all dead.
Thanks! I need to work harder on my non defining relative clauses :)

Your the best
Nice video!
Thanks a lot. This helped my daughter and she's got the hang of it now!
good teacher
excellent
great video
Thanks, but nothing is perfect; I accidentally included 'as' in my list of coordinating conjunctions (FANBOYS) when it is actually a subordinating conjunction.
Awesome
Actually you are the best teacher ever.
Thanks lot for the hard work you had have done.
can you use a verb after a semicolon? ex: Jack cried alone in his bedroom; feeling ashamed and humiliated for the lies he has told that day.
thx
can we use a semicolon and but or any other conjunctions? for example, I ordered lamb; but she had a salad?
No, you should either say the following: "I ordered lamb; she had a salad" or "I ordered lamb, but she had a salad".
