Inversion and Fronting
Inversion and fronting occur when we invert the normal sentence order. In this lesson, we will study these two grammatical structure.
Pro-verb Phrases
Pro-verb phrases are short words or expressions that replace the verb and all that comes after it.
That vs. Which
In the English language, we have three main relative pronouns: who, which, that. Here, we will discuss the similarities and differences between the last two.
That vs. Those
'That' and 'those' are both demonstratives. They point to a specific noun in a sentence. Here we will briefly look at their similarities and differences.
Whether vs. That
Whether and that can be used to express alternatives. However, there is a distinction that we will discover in this lesson.
That vs. Who or Whom
'Who', 'whom', and 'that' are all relative pronouns. Two of them are used as a subject and one of them is the object. If you want to which is which, read this!
That-clauses
We have two types of clauses in English that are introduced with 'that.' One kind is a noun clause. The other one is the restrictive relative clause.
Demonstrative Pronouns
A demonstrative pronoun is a pronoun mostly used to point to something based on its distance from the speaker. In English, these pronouns have four forms.
Who vs. That
'Who' and 'that' are used a lot as relative pronouns. They are a little bit different in some cases.
Complementizers
Complementizers make a clause into the subject or object of a sentence. In this lesson, we will learn all about them.
This vs. That
'This' and 'that' are singular demonstratives. 'This' is used to point to a noun being close to us and 'that' is used to refer to something far from us.
Cleft Sentences
Cleft sentences are complex sentences that have a meaning we can express by a simple sentence. They are used to emphasize one part of a clause. Let's see.
Pro-sentences
Pro-sentences are short words or expressions that are used instead of a full sentence. In this lesson, we will learn all about them.
Relative Pronouns
Relative pronouns are matchmakers of English grammar. They come in the beginning of relative clauses and join two clauses together. Ready to learn about them?
Which vs. That
Using which and that commonly in English does not mean that they are easy to use. Since they are important it is a chance for you to learn them easily, here.
Dependent Clauses
Dependent clauses are clauses that cannot form sentences on their own. In this lesson, we will learn all about dependent clauses.
