In English, we use a lot of phrasal verbs. Let's see how they work using some examples from the story of the Ugly Duckling.

Booking a room by phone in a new language can be a challenge. This video will show you some typical questions you'll be asked, and how you can answer them.

Sigrid looks at the regular and irregular verbs in part one of her rendition of The Ugly Duckling. As you listen, you can pause whenever necessary in order to practice the pronunciation of the conjugated verbs.

We have a look inside the story of The Ugly Duckling to see how the verbs work. First on the list is the past continuous tense.

Relative pronouns such as “who,” “which,” or “what” can link two “relative clauses.” Gina and Olivier review what we have learned and give us some final tips on studying English sentence structure.

This video will show you, in simple terms, the difference between an independent (or "main") clause and a dependent (or "subordinate") clause. It's important to remember than a dependent clause depends on the independent clause, and does not make sense on its own.

Lots of English words can serve as nouns, verbs, or adjectives depending on the context. Sometimes even the pronunciation changes. Let's look at the slogan "Black Lives Matter" in both a grammatical and historical context.

A sentence can be formed from multiple independent clauses, and could in theory go on forever! But is this really a good idea? Olivier and Gina offer us some helpful guidelines.

We keep seeing the "Black Lives Matter" slogan all around — what's it all about? Well, it's a long story. Here's part of the story in a nutshell.

What a time to be learning English! Things are happening quickly in the United States and history is being made right now, so don't miss out on the words and expressions you need to know.

In this video, we learn how words called “conjunctions” are used to join two ideas to make one complex sentence. These parts are known as "clauses" and can be either independent or dependent.

Using adjectives and adverbs, we can add detail and information to a basic sentence.

By adding a complement, we can form a complete sentence that is both grammatically correct and communicates meaning.

Some verbs don't require an object, while others do. In this video, we learn when a sentence is complete, and when we need to add more words.

In this lesson, you can learn about sentence structure in English.
You’ll learn how to construct all kinds of sentences in English, from the simplest possible sentences, to long, complex sentences that contain many different ideas.
