Academic English Vocabulary - Cause & Effect 0001

A brief video to further the academic English vocabulary of English as a Second Language (ESL) students at university. The video uses just one cause & effect phrase, "stem from" . It shows how this phrase is structured; shows it in the context of two examples; and explains that it is commonly used to show cause & effect when discussing feelings, situations, conditions, and events but not usually when physical objects are involved.

My dictionary resource, stemming from the emergence of great teachers like you, has been enhanced by composition of the word and preposition 'stem from'.

@SuperTprincess

Thank you for your message. The second sentence contains what is known as a gerund phrase. A gerund is a verbal noun, and a gerund phrase or a gerund can act like a subject. It is does not need a preposition.
