I found this helpful and easy to follow, your english is so understandable that I didn't need the captions to watch the video as I usually need. _Coexist_ is definitely a high level word, in the movie Independence Day (~1996) the president of United States was talking to an extraterrestrial and said _we can coexist_ and I found that very elegant, classy. Thank you.

"Upon arriving at the museum, our class was divided into smaller groups, each with a teacher as a guide." I think this is a dangling modifier modifying"our class" I know one thing that if I use preposition+gerund", the subject should be the same( for instance-- upon washing the dishes, Diana helped her dad. So it's clear that Diana washed the dishes and she helped her dad), but in this case subject is different as well as it looks like "our class was arriving.... and our class was divided.....". That's my question.😊😊

@LearnAcademicEnglish 8 ай бұрын

I don't see it as a dangling modifier because the class arrived and the class was divided. The subject is the same (even though it is passive voice in the second clause). Usually for a dangling modifier, you should ask yourself, "who did the action in the first part?" (here it's the class). Is that the same as the subject of the main clause? (Here, yes it is.) If not, it's a dangling modifier.

@@LearnAcademicEnglish 🌟right now it's clear to me.✨ I thought that a class couldn't arrive 🤣😆. So I assumed that maybe there was a subject hidden like ( Diana/John/johnny etc) that's why it made me perplexed. At last I would say my explanations were right, but my understanding was wrong. ⭐Much obliged ⭐

Hi, dear👩‍🏫 ⭐To be more specific, sometimes article "The" is used with gerunds called verbal nouns.⭐ Remembering this rule, I am bidding to turn some sentences into verbal nouns (The+of+ing)➡️ ⬇️ 1)a) I remember the bus breaking down (gerund) 1)b) I remember the breaking down of the bus.(The+ing+of) 2)a) I am sacred of Tom's carring a rifle (gerund) 2)b) I am sacred of the carring of a rifle of Tom. 2)c) I am sacred of carring a rifle of Tom.(without "The") Are 1)b, 2)b and 2)c) correct? I think incorrect .😉😉

@LearnAcademicEnglish 8 ай бұрын

Yep, you got it. 1B, 2B, and 2C are to be avoided. 1B is grammatically correct but awkward. Note that carrying includes the y. :) (Not carring)

@dan93431 8 ай бұрын

1)He is exhausted after flying all night. 2) I am shocked after hearing that news. Can I omit the preposition "after" in both sentences? If possible, will the meaning remain the same?

@LearnAcademicEnglish 8 ай бұрын

Yes, you can. However, when the time word is omitted, I feel that the meaning is just slightly different. It sounds like the two things happen at the same time (like the word "while" was omitted, not "after"). I'm shocked hearing the news = I hear the news and I am shocked.

@dan93431 8 ай бұрын

@@LearnAcademicEnglish oh great 👍 information. So I can say in another way "I am shocked while hearing the news." Is it correct?😊

@LearnAcademicEnglish 8 ай бұрын

@@dan93431 Yes it is. All of these examples are a bit awkward, though, and I think it's because the context is missing. Normally, we would already know about the news, so we might not put them together in one sentence. I asked another teacher for input, and he also had difficulty understanding what the underlying structure of the sentence is.

@dan93431 8 ай бұрын

@@LearnAcademicEnglish by the way should I use the infinitive "To" and the preposition "after", Does it read fine to you? For example "shocked to hear or shocked after hearing" I think the meaning will remain the same

@LearnAcademicEnglish 8 ай бұрын

Yes, the meaning remains the same. Using 'to' with the infinitive would be more common.
