English Grammar - A Comprehensive Course Based on Morenberg's "Doing Grammar" (2024)

Master English grammar through this comprehensive lecture series based on Max Morenberg's "Doing Grammar" with contemporary updates, delivered across 5 hours and 30 minutes of instruction by TrevTutor. Explore fundamental grammatical concepts starting with constituency, subjects, and predicates before progressing through detailed examinations of word categories including adjectives, nouns, determiners, pronouns, prepositions, adverbs, and verbs. Delve into complex grammatical structures such as auxiliary phrases covering perfect HAVE, progressive BE, and emphatic DO constructions, alongside modal verbs, negations, tense, and mood systems. Study inflectional markers, suffixes, and various conjunction types including reaction signals, interjections, and discourse particles. Analyze verb patterns from intransitive and linking verbs to transitive, ditransitive, and object control verbs, plus phrasal verb constructions. Examine non-finite verb forms through infinitive and gerund phrases, voice transformations including passives and middle passives, and advanced determiner systems with pre-determiners and semi-modals. Progress to sentence-level analysis covering simple, compound, and complex sentence types, expletive constructions with "it" and "there," and question formation patterns for both yes-no and wh-questions. Conclude with subordination principles, adverbial clauses, relative clauses, reduced relative clauses as participial phrases, prepositional phrase ambiguity, appositives, vocatives, noun clauses, and wh-clauses to develop a thorough understanding of English grammatical structure and function.
