AS AN ENGLISH STUDENT FROM MOROCCO I SAY THIS: YOU ARE THE BEST TEACHER EVER WHO CAN MAKE THE HARDEST MUCH MORE EASIER. GOD BLESS YOU SIR

It’s been 9 years and this video is still very helpful to a lot of people, thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️

your videos are truly fantastic. it's obvious you have a true understanding of the material because you give tangible examples and explain them all the way through, you even try to answer the questions you think are natural to ask to help us, the viewers, understand better. most of the videos on here have an extreme amount of information shoved in seven minutes without any examples. you obviously have a knack for teaching, it's so refreshing to see!! it would be great if you'd consider doing a video on concatenative vs non concatenative morphology!!

I wish there were teachers like you at my school smh

I am late to the party, but your series on Syntax seriously saved me. I am taking my linguistics exam tonight and struggled with Syntax up until now. Thank you!

My English Syntax lecturer sucks like I cannot understand a single thing she says so this video and the other two parts are so easy to understand, thank you. Best teacher ever.

For 4 years I struggled to construct a syntactic tree diagram the bottom-up way since that’s what we were taught. Can’t believe how clearer it is to do it your way. Thank you so much!

I teach syntax and I sometimes find that my students get puzzled when I explain the tree diagrams of certain sentences. But, having watched your video, I think now I know how to explain them, the tree diagrams, in a more understandable way. Great video, thanks

I can't believe that its a 7 yrs old video... I'm so glad to have come across it. THANK YOU VERY MUCH SIR! YOU SAVED MY DAY! (my masters too..) from INDIA. MUCH LOVE AND RESPECT!

As an student from Bangladesh: You have made the hardest topic way too easier. I was literally having a lot of difficulties with this. But now I can do every tree structure on my own. Thank you Sir you made my day. 😊

Evan, I am studying linguists this quarter and you have really helped to untangle everything I have been reading in my course book. You have a real talent for explaining/teaching this topic. Thank you for making the videos. I don't believe I would have had a better understanding without your explanations. Your 2014 video is continuing to make a HUGE difference. You are pretty awesome.

Things are not too complicated. The explanation and the way to clarify them depends on teacher, thank you a million Professor you make things easiest.

Mr. Evan. You are the best teacher I have ever met

I love the way you explain these themes. Your explanations are logical, easy to follow, and I really like your sense of humor.

I am a moroccan student and I thank you so much sir Evan, Thanks to you I could finaly understand this introduction to linguistics.

Sir with all due respect, I'm a student from Malaysia and I just wanna say thank you so much ! I'm taking English for my degree currently and I had been struggling with syntax so much and so long but you saved me I pray you'll live a long and healthy life so that you could continue helping us student !!!

In 3 videos you did for me what 45 pages of my Linguistics textbook couldn't. This so clear and well explained. THANK YOU!

I think my teachers need to these videos to know how to explain their lessons in an easy manner. They overcomplicate things and don't give much time to hand a good explanation to the students. You're a rare teacher.

Professor, I really love your classes, in every explanation ive cleared my doubts and my difficulties in the subject are less every time i summarize a lesson from you. Thank you very much for your help. 😊

Sir, simply your wonderful. Thank God there is youtube because I couldn't have learned while living here. God be with you always.

I have an exam in an hour and you have no idea how much these Syntax videos have helped me. Thank you.

your videos are wonderful , clear and concise . thank you for saving student's lives from unqualified teachers . you are truly amazing .

IAM an English language student at university. And I want to say that you're the best explainer teacher. although it's advanced lesson but we getting it more easier. Because you know how to send the information with a simple explanation contract other teachers, Thanks in advance for your efforts 🙏

In my mind I thought this will be hard, but when I know the teacher is you I know it can be easy.. Thank u very much 🙏

Hi, Evan, I'm just writing to tell you how much these videos have helped me. I am studying a Master's degree on English Teaching and it's all about assigning pdf files readings, so your lessons have helped me so much.

Thanks for being quite an effective teacher, I understand those for our syntax class. Thanks a lot Sir Evan! More power!

Excellent video, thank you. From having no clue of how to create a syntax tree to getting them almost spot on alone. Keep up the great work! :)

Effectively broke the psychological ice toward linguistics ❤❤❤❤❤ Thank uuuuuuuu

Thank God you've made Syntax easier for me to learn. Keep up your amazing videos! Love from Malaysia

Thank you so much for helping me out on my final's, I told everyone in my class about your channel and they loved your explanations!

I have never been so much enlightened,,, I am really glad that I came across your channel .Be blessed.

Had Syntax in the first semester and now 3 semesters later took another syntax class. This was perfect to remember everything important, Real G.

Confused for a semester with this topic. But, minutes with your videos, I am definitely enjoying syntactic trees! Such a great teacher! Thank you!

oh Mr Evan! the smile i am wearing right now ....wonderful. i have been struggling with the noun phrase branching from the verb phrase.thanks to your videos its all childs play now. thank you so much sir and please continue with more videos.

my professor has been trying an entire term to explain what you have in just 3 videos. fuggn legend. thanks acid man

I really enjoy your videos on linguistics and the different aspects of linguists. I really learned a lot from them and learn to appreciate linguistics more. To be honest I watched other videos about linguistics and I did not really understand, but with your videos i understood everything clearly. I actually stayed up late learning about syntax. I started by watching syntax (part 1) without knowing anything about it, I watched part 2 and part 3, and now I can confidently say that I know what is syntax, the phrase structure rules and the tree structure diagrams. You explained it so well and in an understandable manner. I'm not sure if you'll see this but , I would like to thank you for your time and effort in posting these videos to help others understand linguistics like me. I really appreciate it. God bless you. From a student in the Caribbean.

You saved my life last semester and you did it again... Great great great teaching sir.... Thank you very much...

Thank you, Teacher Evan! You're awesome! Helped me a lot for my report this coming Saturday. God bless you. From Philippines with love

I've got my midterm finals tomorrow. I can say with certainty that I am only going to pass because of his videos. Thank you sir. You're awesome.

Your way of teaching is really unique and wonderful I've learned a lot and I donl no more rely on my teacher because I study with you Thank you sir

A lecturer of ours stormed out of the lecture hall today and I came across this video, I'm so happy, Thank you very much for this detailed explanation

You are a gem, Sir. Love from Bangladesh ❤

Your explanations are so great! I understood them right away! Thank you so much mr ashworth!

This was SO helpful. Wish my linguistics professor taught how you do in the first place. Anyone else having this guy teach them 20 mins before an exam ???

Im an Elt student, such a marvelous clear understanding video series! Thanks from Turkey.

I am an English university student from Iraq. Thank you very much for this clear and easy explanation

What if the student wrote his thesis ON acid instead of on paper? --- 3rd possible meaning.

I cannot describe how you are perfect at explaining syntax. I'm Egyptian hoping to speak like you one day ❤Thank a lot 😇😇

YOU DONT UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH OF A SAVIOUR YOU ARE. MY LECTURER EXPLAINED THIS FOR 3 HOURS AND STILL MAKE 0 SENSE. BUT YOU NAILED IT!!!!

The videos I have watched so far have been helpful. I've understood today what seemed hard to me, it's has been simplified in a simpler way. Thank you 🙏

Really I am watching your video just a night before exam and it's working..May God bless every student a teacher like you..Love from Pakistan

I like when you use multiple examples to make the idea easier as much as you can..THAT's way fantastic.

THANK YOU. These 3 videos were super helpful!

I'm very grateful to have found your video! 😭

Great series of videos.

You dropped this, King. 👑

You're teaching very well. Thanks sir 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Brilliant explanations. Thank you!

Thank you for your effort, you're a wonderful prof , thank you a million💜💜

Thank you sir, for all the informative videos. I am following the books such as Liliane Haegeman's 'Introduction to Government and Binding theory' and Andrew Radford's 'Syntax: A Minimalist Introduction'. I would be grateful to you if you can advice us, any further readings to improve our knowledge in syntax.

Thank you you're the best example of teaching Thank you till we die

Thank you a lot, your lessons the best lessons ever 💯💯💯

You are fantastic , you teach so well, I can easily understand

Thanks, sir Evan! It helped me a lot.

For those who did not understand the last example, google for definition of "man". Definition of 'man' as a Noun: adult male ('the man' as in 'the males'). Definition of 'man' as a Verb: to manage/operate/tend ('to man boats' means 'to be in charge of the boats/to take care of the boats'). So in the last example, it means old people are managing the boats / tending to the boats / in charge of the boats (aka manning the boats) P.s Thank you sir for the clear and concise explanation!

thank you so much u helped me a lot I was totally lost about syntax until I watched ur video

thank you !!! the video was very useful as i was having problem constructing the tree diagrams, but now i think i am able to . thanks againnn !!!!
