You are my hero because you teach people how to use grammar well. My resume lists 'grammar' as an interest; I get asked about it by everyone who reads my resume. Thank you for these videos. I can't thank you enough.

@mrthoth Brilliant, Sir. Would there be a connecting line from ' may want' in the main clause, to 'you' in the subordinate clause (Of course 'If' would be on that connecting line).

What is an easy definition to explain the difference between "Elements of a sentence and "parts of speech" ?
Roxika 1 month ago
@Roxika That is hard to answer. It is a little like asking, "What definition will help you tell the difference between an atom and a body part?" Words are the building blocks of sentences. There are eight kinds of words--that is, each word belongs to one and only one of the eight parts of speech. These words can be arranged into an infinite number of sentences, and the sentences are made of chunks that consist of one or more words.

I have another interesting question. What about linking and helping verbs, do they have any relation with what you said in this video?
MrDevin666 2 months ago
@MrDevin666 The helping or auxiliary verbs (forms of be, have, and do) can be relevant to this discussion. For example, present participles (like "seeing" in the video) cannot act as verbs without a form of the auxiliary verb "be". (I mention that in the video.) Past participles also require an auxiliary in order to act as verbs. Participles are what the helping verbs "have" and "be" help--the participles cannot function as verbs without them.
