Jeez! I've been in school for 16 years of my life, and I still have trouble using commas. Thanks for the great material; it really helped!

Thank you making this video, it was helpful. I am a 57 year old man, that failed at school. Now, I am learning to write correctly, using videos like yours. Thank you again for taking the time to make it.

It has been 30 + years since I was last in school. I'm taking a basic English class to get back on track. Your videos have helped immensely so far! I realized how lazy I have become about formal writing. Your videos are so easy to follow and the practice really helps. Thank you!

I am going back to night classes, and I am 53 years old. I had to leave school at the 5th grade, and tonight the reading and writing class, I had tonight has assignments, where do we use commas, and I had a problem figuring out where to put commas. When i saw your video I learned more from you, then I did in the 6 weeks I had my classes. I got them all right, because you explained it very well where I can understand what goes where. Thank you for taking the time to do this video. It has really helped me understand what I need to do. God bless your heart.

Hi. I usually struggle with grammar and punctuation as a fluent English speaker. This video has given me clarity and the confidence to be able to apply the rules. It has also given me hope to retake the transcription test. Thank you :)

Such a great teacher you are😊, You give me confidence to try the transcription test on the platforms you suggested, it has been so long in writing English which is not my first language, but I love it, and I just like to polish my writing skills and be confident again after a long period of being numb due to depression, it is interesting to motivate myself through your lessons 😊.

I’m an ex-English teacher, and I love watching your programs. I got mixed up on the use of the comma with quotation marks. I read a lot of British novels and non-fiction, and I’m used to seeing the British rule apply. I had begun to write following the British rule for quotations!! Also, thanks for explaining the Oxford comma. I use it, as I believe it often clarifies items in sentences. Thanks for your great work!

I did learn a couple of things. My high school English teacher told us that she was not happy that they had made her teach. She had been the librarian. She wasn’t in it if you understand what I mean. I have wanted to understand English since learning Spanish. Thank you for your easy to understand help.

I'm still having issues with understanding the use of commas with an independent clause + dependent clause, but this helped clarify things more. Thanks!

Thank you so much for making this video! I’m 34 years old, and I’m just now getting my life back on track. I’m a bit rusty, high school wasn’t yesterday after all, but I found your videos to be super helpful, and easy to understand. I still have a ways to go, but I’m feeling more and more confident with each passing day.
I start my college courses soon, wish me luck !🍀

Thank you so much for this video 🙏 I just couldn't find any other info on the internet that explained the clauses as well as you did in this video. What a great lesson on how to use commas! Very easy to understand.

Thank you for this :)
From grade school to university, the English language is part of our major subjects, but until now I still get confused with the use of comma, colon and semicolon and also subject-verb agreement 😅

Thank you so much for clarifying the eight comma rules. I’ve always been unsure at times in regards to this particular punctuation. I wrote down the comma rules so I’ll never forget.
