Here are my examples: 1. Being as one of the illegal drugs in sports competitions, doping is still used by many athletes these days. 2. Having completed the Master of Education in TESOL program at Ho Chi Minh City Open University, she went to America to continue her further education. 3. Adelaide, which has been voted the most livable city in the world, is the fifth largest city in Australia. 4. It was your sister-in-law who I met on the way back from work yesterday. 5. It was in 1987 that Princess Diana changed attitudes to AIDS by shaking hands with a man who was dying of AIDS without wearing gloves. 6. Started in 1945, Vietnam's illiteracy eradication policy was aimed at opening classes and launching diverse learning activities to help learners develop both their reading and writing skills. 7. My essay on Artifical Intelligence, which I found quite difficult at the beginning, got a really good mark in the end.

Thanks for your answer, Vy Ngo! Here are a few suggestions: 1) 'Doping' is the act of using drugs, it is not a specific drug. 2) '...America to further her education,' or, '...America to continue her higher education,' not, '...America to continue her further education'. 3) It wasn't covered in this lesson, but for this sentence, you want to use 'whom': 'It was your sister-in-law whom I met on the way back from work yesterday'. Hope this helps!

Excuse me sir , could you tell me why we couldn't use the word that instead of which in non defining relative clauses. For example : Babylon City, which ( that ) is 85 kilometers south of Baghdad, is a popular tourist site .

@Oxfordonlineenglish1 3 жыл бұрын

Hi there. That is the rule: When we have a non-defining relative clause, we are adding more information but it is not necessary to understand the main idea. Therefore, the clause begins with 'which' and not 'that' because 'that' is not placed after commas that introduce non-defining relative clauses.

For these questions he 'got fainted' is not a correct phrase. 'He fainted' is correct.

why is in 1593 after a comma but in Holland isn't? at 13:44

@Oxfordonlineenglish1 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Ayush. Based on the sentence structure, the year (1593) is extra information given in the first sentence, so a comma is placed before it. If we wanted to express the fact that 'in Holland' was extra information a comma could also be placed before 'in Holland'. Both versions are okay depending on the writer's meaning.
