  • If the world had more teachers like this the world would be a much better place.

  • That English Grammar Tutor, who taught about restrictive and non-restrictive elements, did well. Was my sentence which I wrote correct?

  • Love the video, I had a lot of aha moments

  • great explanation... i love it, thanks a lot... will use it in class for my students :)

  • There's an issue whether "which" must be used with non-restrictive phrases, and "that" with restrictive phrases. Many authorities say it's improper to write "Rain which falls on Tuesdays makes me sad"; they would insist on "Rain that falls on Tuesdays makes me sad." I don't like that rule, but if one adheres to it, it does make restrictive and non-restrictive phrases (about non-human subjects) easier to distinguish.
