TLDRThe video from Normal Studios offers a detailed review of identifying sentence errors, which are common in government and entrance exams. It explores various grammatical issues such as the necessity of proper punctuation (e.g., using commas instead of semicolons in specific contexts), ensuring subject-verb agreement (e.g., using singular verbs with singular subjects), and the importance of using correct comparative forms (e.g., replacing 'good' with 'better' when comparing two items). Additionally, it addresses the appropriate use of relative pronouns, correct verb tense forms, and the use of conjunctions for connecting independent clauses. Throughout the video, examples are provided to illustrate each type of error and the corresponding correction, making it a valuable resource for exam preparation.

    The video emphasizes the importance of understanding sentence structure, particularly in identifying sentence errors often present in government and entrance examinations. It starts with an example where a semicolon is incorrectly used instead of a comma after 'breakfast' because the clause 'since he is so big' is not an independent clause. The speaker explains the difference between dependent and independent clauses, emphasizing that independent clauses can stand alone as complete sentences while dependent clauses cannot.

  • 00:05:00 - 00:10:00

    In the second part, the focus shifts to subject-verb agreement errors with examples like 'The shelf of books are already full' which should be 'is' instead of 'are' as the subject 'shelf' is singular. Other examples involving verb tense and comparative adjectives are discussed such as 'She sings better than anyone else in the choir'. The correct use of relative pronouns is highlighted, advising to use 'that' instead of 'who' for objects. Punctuation and sentence structure are reinforced as key elements for clarity.

  • 00:10:00 - 00:19:00

    The final section involves correcting sentence structures through proper verb usage and conjunctions. An example given is 'I seen that movie last week' corrected to 'I saw that movie...' emphasizing the correct tense. It also stresses the importance of using semicolons for closely related independent clauses or commas with coordinating conjunctions. The session concludes with encouragement for viewers to continue reviewing these rules to prepare for examinations, providing resources for further practice.

  • 00:00:00
    welcome back to normal Studios so in
  • 00:00:02
    this video I'm a great review on
  • 00:00:04
    potatoes identifying sentence errors in
  • 00:00:07
    which errors NATO I come on government
  • 00:00:11
    examinations or any entrance
  • 00:00:14
    examinations so stay tuned since I will
  • 00:00:18
    elaborate or explain the answers for
  • 00:00:21
    each of the items so without any further
  • 00:00:24
    Ado let us start with question number
  • 00:00:26
    one he ate a large meal at breakfast
  • 00:00:30
    since he is so big
  • 00:00:32
    a a b breakfast C since D big or no
  • 00:00:40
    error
  • 00:00:44
    is letter B break fast since uh there
  • 00:00:48
    should be a comma after breakfast
  • 00:00:50
    instead of a semicolon
  • 00:00:53
    since he is so big is not a complete
  • 00:00:57
    grammatical Clause it is a dependent
  • 00:01:00
    clause a complete sentence that is why
  • 00:01:04
    it is not allowed to use semicolon
  • 00:01:10
    sentence if we are going to connect
  • 00:01:13
    between closely related independent
  • 00:01:17
    clauses which are not joined by a
  • 00:01:20
    coordinating conjunction like and but or
  • 00:01:25
    nor for so yet and Etc sentence
  • 00:01:47
    this will become an independent clause
  • 00:01:50
    or a complete grammatical clause
  • 00:01:56
    is an independent clause
  • 00:01:59
    so it contains a subject of course and a
  • 00:02:02
    verb and at the same time a complete
  • 00:02:05
    thoughts in complete thought it can
  • 00:02:08
    stand alone from the word itself
  • 00:02:11
    independent so it can stand alone is a
  • 00:02:15
    complete sentence without depending on
  • 00:02:18
    the other sentence
  • 00:02:21
    Give an example he ate a large meal at
  • 00:02:26
    breakfast
  • 00:02:28
    independent clause or in short it is
  • 00:02:31
    already a complete sentence with subject
  • 00:02:34
    and a verb
  • 00:02:36
    setting sentence he ate a large meal at
  • 00:02:41
    breakfast so we consider it as an
  • 00:02:44
    independent clause or in short it can
  • 00:02:47
    stand alone without the need of other
  • 00:02:50
    sentence
  • 00:02:54
    with the subject and the
  • 00:02:57
    verbena independent clause
  • 00:03:01
    living a snow confusion or no question
  • 00:03:05
    at all with regard to the idea of the
  • 00:03:08
    sentence
  • 00:03:14
    so in other words
  • 00:03:20
    sentence complete sentence complete
  • 00:03:23
    thought Basha yes
  • 00:03:30
    so leaving as no confusion no question
  • 00:03:34
    at all so it is an independent clause
  • 00:03:37
    now if ever tatangalinating
  • 00:03:42
    sentence
  • 00:03:44
    complete sentence yes
  • 00:03:55
    um it is something a part of a sentence
  • 00:03:57
    that um says something about the subject
  • 00:04:00
    Malaki young subject he is so big pero
  • 00:04:04
    it leaves us confusion and question
  • 00:04:16
    so it leaves us confusion so it is a
  • 00:04:20
    dependent clause or in short it cannot
  • 00:04:23
    stand alone as a complete sentence and
  • 00:04:27
    again
  • 00:04:32
    since then this will become an
  • 00:04:35
    independent clause or magiging complete
  • 00:04:38
    sentence
  • 00:04:48
    since he is so big so questionable
  • 00:04:53
    because of the word sins
  • 00:04:57
    since
  • 00:05:00
    he is so big so this is a complete
  • 00:05:03
    thought or complete sentence
  • 00:05:05
    so it has no question at all
  • 00:05:11
    things subject which is he
  • 00:05:21
    closely related independent clauses so
  • 00:05:25
    in this case
  • 00:05:38
    and I hope that makes sense so now let's
  • 00:05:41
    proceed with question number two he
  • 00:05:44
    don't like pizza he prefers hamburgers
  • 00:05:50
    C prefers D hamburgers or letter e no
  • 00:05:56
    error
  • 00:05:59
    and the correct answer is don't again
  • 00:06:02
    subject is a third person singular
  • 00:06:05
    kagayanang he
  • 00:06:07
    she is
  • 00:06:15
    or don't
  • 00:06:26
    and they
  • 00:06:30
    and now let's proceed with question
  • 00:06:33
    number three the shelf of books are
  • 00:06:36
    already full choose the letter that
  • 00:06:38
    corresponds to your answer and feel free
  • 00:06:41
    to pause the video
  • 00:06:44
    this is incorrect due to a subject verb
  • 00:06:48
    agreement error on subject at verb
  • 00:06:52
    nothing
  • 00:06:55
    is
  • 00:06:57
    subject verb agreement if the subject is
  • 00:07:00
    singular then the verb must also be
  • 00:07:03
    singular if the subject is plural then
  • 00:07:06
    the verb must also be plural because the
  • 00:07:10
    shelf of books is a singular entity and
  • 00:07:14
    therefore it should be paired with a
  • 00:07:17
    singular verb as well so therefore a
  • 00:07:19
    must appropriate nagamit indito is
  • 00:07:22
    singular which is is at Hindi are
  • 00:07:25
    because young R is for plural subject
  • 00:07:28
    and I know now
  • 00:07:34
    actually we considered it as a singular
  • 00:07:37
    because the subject of the sentence
  • 00:07:39
    which is shelf is considered a singular
  • 00:07:43
    noun and positional phrase of books
  • 00:07:46
    provides an additional information about
  • 00:07:49
    the Shelf but it doesn't actually affect
  • 00:07:52
    the grammatical number of our subjects
  • 00:07:57
    in the sentence NATO is
  • 00:08:07
    the shelves of books are already full
  • 00:08:15
    maraming shelves is
  • 00:08:33
    other examples the team of managers the
  • 00:08:37
    league of players
  • 00:08:39
    singular entity
  • 00:08:44
    Hindi individual managers
  • 00:08:50
    individual players singular in titisha
  • 00:08:56
    players
  • 00:09:25
    so now let's proceed with question
  • 00:09:27
    number four I could have finished my
  • 00:09:30
    homework but I got distracted choose the
  • 00:09:34
    letter that corresponds to your answer
  • 00:09:35
    and feel free to pause the video
  • 00:09:59
    a correct way to express the possibility
  • 00:10:02
    of completing an action in the past
  • 00:10:06
    which was not realized due to some other
  • 00:10:09
    Factor
  • 00:10:12
    um
  • 00:10:19
    expression of possibility
  • 00:10:22
    my destruction so you could have I
  • 00:10:27
    ginagamitlamang to indicate a missed
  • 00:10:29
    opportunity
  • 00:10:30
    unrealized action in the past
  • 00:10:35
    in the past
  • 00:10:37
    in the present my instruction or some
  • 00:10:42
    other factors
  • 00:10:45
    okay so next we have question number
  • 00:10:48
    five as she was packing for college
  • 00:10:51
    Jenna made a list of items to take that
  • 00:10:55
    included the following things alarm
  • 00:10:58
    clock trash can and Below feel free to
  • 00:11:03
    pause the video
  • 00:11:05
    and the correct answer is letter D
  • 00:11:08
    things
  • 00:11:11
    list of items following an independent
  • 00:11:16
    clause
  • 00:11:18
    not a semicolon and again
  • 00:11:24
    semicolons to connect closely related
  • 00:11:28
    independent clauses
  • 00:11:35
    list of items and also please take notes
  • 00:11:41
    for each of the items and right after
  • 00:11:45
    the conjunction and
  • 00:11:50
    semicolon
  • 00:11:52
    Hindi independent clause or it cannot
  • 00:11:56
    stand alone as a complete sentence or in
  • 00:11:59
    short it has no complete thought alarm
  • 00:12:02
    clock trash can and below
  • 00:12:09
    it leaves us confusions that is why this
  • 00:12:13
    is considered a dependent clause
  • 00:12:18
    so I hope that makes sense to you by the
  • 00:12:21
    way before we continue you can access
  • 00:12:23
    our Max Civil Service examination at
  • 00:12:26
    triple w dot normal studio
  • 00:12:29
    official.blogspot.com and don't forget
  • 00:12:31
    to follow our official Facebook page
  • 00:12:35
    okay so now let's proceed with question
  • 00:12:38
    number six
  • 00:12:39
    she sings good than anyone else in the
  • 00:12:42
    choir
  • 00:12:43
    choose the letter that corresponds to
  • 00:12:45
    your answer
  • 00:12:47
    so this is incorrect due to the use of
  • 00:12:50
    the wrong comparative form of the
  • 00:12:53
    adjective good the correct sentence
  • 00:12:56
    should be she sings better than anyone
  • 00:12:59
    else in the choir dito processating
  • 00:13:02
    sentence we are comparing two different
  • 00:13:04
    people in which
  • 00:13:08
    compared with the other that is
  • 00:13:11
    comparative form of good which is better
  • 00:13:17
    next question number seven the book who
  • 00:13:21
    I borrowed from the library is really
  • 00:13:23
    interesting choose the letter that
  • 00:13:26
    corresponds to your answer
  • 00:13:29
    so this is considered incorrect due to
  • 00:13:32
    the misuse of the relative pronoun who
  • 00:13:36
    the correct sentence should be the book
  • 00:13:39
    that I borrowed from the library is
  • 00:13:42
    really interesting
  • 00:13:47
    to refer to people not to things and as
  • 00:13:52
    we all know book is a thing that is
  • 00:13:57
    used to refer to things animals and
  • 00:14:01
    sometimes people that is why pinalita
  • 00:14:07
    okay so next question number eight
  • 00:14:10
    they're going on vacation next week so
  • 00:14:13
    they're very excited feel free to pause
  • 00:14:16
    the video
  • 00:14:18
    the correct answer is letter e no error
  • 00:14:22
    and sentence I correct due to the proper
  • 00:14:26
    use of contractions subject verb
  • 00:14:29
    agreement and clear communication of
  • 00:14:32
    ideas here's why
  • 00:14:35
    verb
  • 00:14:56
    and at the same time the sentence has a
  • 00:15:00
    clear expression of ideas the sentence
  • 00:15:03
    conveys a clear and coherent message it
  • 00:15:07
    states that they a group of people will
  • 00:15:10
    be going on vacation as a result they
  • 00:15:14
    are excited so the cause and effect
  • 00:15:16
    relationship between going on vacation
  • 00:15:19
    and being excited is effectively
  • 00:15:22
    communicated
  • 00:15:24
    and at the same time
  • 00:15:27
    young proper punctuation because the
  • 00:15:30
    sentence uses ikama to separate the two
  • 00:15:33
    Clauses which linked the cause and
  • 00:15:36
    effects relationship so this is the
  • 00:15:38
    cause and this is the effects sonaging
  • 00:15:41
    excited Sila because they are going on
  • 00:15:44
    vacation next week
  • 00:15:48
    question number nine I seen that movie
  • 00:15:51
    last week it was really funny choose the
  • 00:15:54
    letter that corresponds to your answer
  • 00:15:58
    in the given sentence we have two errors
  • 00:16:08
    is the past participle form of c and is
  • 00:16:13
    used with helping verbs like have
  • 00:16:17
    example I have seen that movie but in
  • 00:16:22
    this case we need a simple past tense so
  • 00:16:26
    and at the same time it lacks a
  • 00:16:28
    conjunction to connect the two
  • 00:16:30
    independent clauses
  • 00:16:32
    so to correct the sentence we must use
  • 00:16:35
    the conjunction and to create a clear
  • 00:16:39
    and coherent sentence structure
  • 00:16:42
    and also Hindi potato
  • 00:16:47
    are independent clauses so we need to
  • 00:16:50
    use a
  • 00:16:52
    semicolonas
  • 00:16:55
    semicolon to connect closely related
  • 00:16:59
    independent clauses
  • 00:17:04
    either
  • 00:17:06
    I saw that movie last week semicolon it
  • 00:17:11
    was really funny or it could be I saw
  • 00:17:15
    that movie last week comma and it was
  • 00:17:19
    really funny
  • 00:17:21
    and here we go with our last question
  • 00:17:24
    question number 10
  • 00:17:26
    I have went to that museum before and it
  • 00:17:30
    was amazing
  • 00:17:33
    the correct answer is letter A when the
  • 00:17:37
    correct sentence should be I have gone
  • 00:17:40
    to that museum before and it was amazing
  • 00:17:43
    again kapag May has have or had some
  • 00:17:48
    sentence
  • 00:17:51
    past participle form so young past
  • 00:17:54
    participle form of the verb go is
  • 00:17:59
    the simple past tense form so a most
  • 00:18:03
    appropriate is gun not when
  • 00:18:09
    the past participle of the main verb
  • 00:18:14
    to indicate an action that started in
  • 00:18:17
    the past and has relevance to the
  • 00:18:20
    present moment
  • 00:18:21
    or to describe an action that was
  • 00:18:24
    completed at some unspecified time
  • 00:18:27
    before
  • 00:18:30
    and that concludes our video and I hope
  • 00:18:33
    this video makes sense to you and
  • 00:18:35
    reviewing for the upcoming examination
