I have only two correct answers. Exactly, Youglish is a good tool for taking prepositions from native speakers. I found on-the-other-hand collocation there. Thank you again for this video.

@LearnAcademicEnglish 8 ай бұрын

You're welcome! Learning prepositions is definitely not easy, but I would recommend learning the preposition with the word from now on. It's easy to forget them, but it's better than not learning the preposition and making the same mistake over and over. 😀

Would you please tell me whether "even" used in the cooperatives shows small or big differences? Thank you in advance.

@LearnAcademicEnglish 7 ай бұрын

I didn't understand your question. Do you mean comparatives? Please ask it again. Thanks! :)

@abdoel-masry223 7 ай бұрын

I'm sorry. I meant to say comparatives. It's me to thank you.

@LearnAcademicEnglish 7 ай бұрын

Even is usually used in comparatives to show that something is surprising. For example, my brother is short, but my sister is even shorter than my brother.

1)a)He doesn't eat two days stale bananas Or b)He doesn't eat two days of stale bananas c) He doesn't eat bananas that are two days stale Are all the sentences appropriate? 2)a) she is nine months pregnant Or b)She is pregnant for nine months Is 2b correct?

@LearnAcademicEnglish 7 ай бұрын

Incorrect: 1)a)He doesn't eat two days stale bananas Or Incorrect: b)He doesn't eat two days of stale bananas Correct: c) He doesn't eat bananas that are two days stale Also possible: He doesn't eat two day stale bananas. However, we don't use 'stale' for bananas. Stale is used for bread, cookies, or other similar items that get hard or have a strange texture when they get old. I guess you would use "old" for bananas. You can't say "two days stale bananas" because 'two days' comes before the noun "bananas" so you have to use the singular form. Just like" a ten-foot tall fence" or "a two-year-old child" correct: 2)a) she is nine months pregnant Or incorrect: b)She is pregnant for nine months She HAS BEEN pregnant for nine months.

Is there any mistakes in the following sentences? A) As I promised to complete that project, I will definitely do that.(full clause) B) As promised to complete that project, I will definitely do that.( As+v3 at the beginning of the sentence) C) I will definitely do that as promised to complete that project.(As+v3 at the end of the sentence) D) promising to complete that project, I will definitely do that.(present participle at the beginning of the sentence) E) I will definitely do that, promising to complete that project.(present participle at the end of the sentence) Maybe all are grmatically 💯correct.😉😉

@LearnAcademicEnglish 7 ай бұрын

Hmm, only #1 is correct. B) should be the passive in reduced form (as was promised... --> As promised, I will complete the project.) C) doesn't make sense D) is OK but the time is not right. "Promising..."+ "I will" don't go together E) is not clear. Sorry I don't have better explanations for these, but I don't know if I have seen such structures before.

@dan93431 7 ай бұрын

@@LearnAcademicEnglish It's ok. Would you give me two examples using this structure "As+v3"(as mentioned, as instructed, as promised) As well as mention the full clauses so that I can get it.

@LearnAcademicEnglish 7 ай бұрын

As mentioned in the directions, you need to write complete sentences. As promised last week, the bonuses will be distributed on Friday. Full form (I think this is right! I hesitate because we never hear or see the full form of these!): As it was mentioned... As it was promised... I believe these are passive voice reduced clauses in which the pronoun and the helping verb are omitted.

@dan93431 7 ай бұрын

@@LearnAcademicEnglish I appreciate it Sorry to be disturbing you again regarding only one topic. I would like to be much clearer.😊 It's easy peasy though BTW, in your first sentence "It was mentioned/ as mentioned " indicates/means "complete sentences" ??? I mean that reduced form(as mentioned) gives an extra piece of information to which one? As promised means "The bonuses "???

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by your questions in your latest comment, but here's a little summary of these constructions, which I found in a very good grammar book: "You can use adverb clauses with 'as' to refer to information from a chart or other sources. 'As Figure 1 illustrates, eating habits have changed recently.' You can also use adverb phrases with 'as' in the passive: 'As illustrated in Figure 1, eating habits have changed recently.'" In some examples, it is hard to know exactly what the full form is because either we never use the full form, or the full form sounds awkward. I think it's better to learn these as a type of set phrase that we use very often: As indicated in the article, ... As shown in the picture,... etc. I hope that helps!
