This guy deserves a raise

My Diyr Mister Rahul sir my fasileter a very good parson and honest parson helpful parson.❤

This is stupid. I give up

yk i still dont understand what english teachers mean when they say “it modifies the word…” can someone care to explain 😭😭😭

how did he sketch that out in like 5 seconds??

How cute you are 👏🎉😊

This is not correct information. An infinitive phrase is NOT a prepositional phrase, EVER!

Please upload objects of prepositions.

Thumbs up baba. Asanti sana- thank you so much.

Sir ggg smajh nhi aa Rahi apki English bhot high level ki hai

this is so cool. But I'm still dumb.

1. In this context,
"Danielle blew the horn with the strength of a giant."

Is "..the strength of a giant." can be considered to be a Noun Phrase?



2. In this context,
I would enjoy exploring the Cathedral of Glass.
Is it correct that "the Cathedral of Glass." is a Noun Phrase?

I cannot comment in the Khan academy website yet, so I did it here.

loved this teacher

I only understand english when you teach it lol

"To Steal the queen's diamonds" is NOT a prepositional phrase. It's an infinitive phrase which gets classified as a verb phrase because it begins with a verb: To steal.

You guys are doing the lord’s work

This is So Garbage I dislike

The doodle at the starting of the video was better than his handwriting.... xD

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

YES

thank you david

💖💖🤩🤩

THANK YOU THANKYOU OMG UR ENERGY AND CONFIDENCE IS SICK KEEP IT UP

the doodle is so cute omg, this helped a lot too! thank you

I thought the PP modifies 'horn' as the head if the noun phrase (object)

Noooo! To steal a queen's diamonds is not a prepositional phrase but rather an infinitive phrase. The word "to" is not a preposition in this case but part of the infinitive. Yes, to steal a queen's diamonds is acting as a noun and as a subject but has nothing to do with being a prepositional phrase.

Wrong, chump! To + Steal is an infinitive, not a preposition. I feel betrayed. Khan Academy or CON Academy? I await your reply.

Watching it after 6 years before going to my exam💀

Cara é pika mesmo, a really good explanation of it 💕 thanks, you helped a Brazilian teacher a lot!

"To steal the queen's diamonds" is only an infinitive phrase. Prepositional phrases are almost always modifiers. You have to write awkwardly to make them nouns: "In the trash is where that smelly business goes."

nailed the cockney accent

I’m sorry but I still don’t get what a prepositional phrase is. I’m the type of person that needs more explanation, not examples.

imagine having this guy as your actual teacher literally amazing

That accent was marvelous

I just adore Khans (not gengas khan u know) way of teaching
A black board and some attractive markers and beautiful writing and drawing

Im watching this for the final exams lmao

This really helped me understand. Thank you so much, keep up the good work.

I've never heard infinitives defined as a preposition. I'm not sure that's accurate. Can anyone help me out on this?

I'm a fifth grade teacher in Trinidad, CO. I use your videos a lot in class, and my students would like to know what David looks like. Thanks.

That Wooden leg joke made me laugh louder than it's meaning. HAHAHA..

Thank you for making preposition such easy to understand.

He gave me a pen . Here give is a ditranatiive verb .
If i write, He gave a pen to me. Then, is it also di transive verb? Does " me" is an indirect object of the verb ? Or "me" gonna be an object of a preposition? One website says that, its an obj of a preposition but one of my teachers says thats its a indirect obj.confused?

the smith one was good ha !

HE HE HE HA

i have a test tomorrow if i fail im coming back here to tell yall wish me luck
