Classes He kind of knows glass like little tiny glasses
- 00:28
over your nostril Cool All right here we go Maria
- 00:31
would like to revise sentence seven right there to make
- 00:34
it more concise and effective Which of the following is
- 00:37
the best revision and hear the potential answers We're just
- 00:41
going to skin these here real quick We're gonna have
- 00:43
to come back and re re re review Oh yeah
- 00:46
we've got big problems in the original sentence Seven It
- 00:49
requires four years of medical school and before that four
- 00:52
years of university said he's followed by training program called
- 00:55
residency Notice how the steps to becoming a doctor or
- 00:59
out of chronological order under detail We need a sentence
- 01:02
that shows the university studies coming first A medical school
- 01:06
following next and then the residency coming last of all
- 01:10
Let's See if the gods of the e e o
- 01:12
c have provided us with the answer of our dreams
- 01:15
Well uh not looking good So far here's uh four
- 01:19
years middle school required plus bring everything We were followed
- 01:21
by residency training program Well d gets the sequence of
- 01:25
steps wrong and it's awkward to boot Maria shouldn't get
- 01:28
near this one with a ten foot pole or five
- 01:30
foot pole or any poll Really Next He does get
- 01:34
the order right But it happens to be the grammatical
- 01:37
no no known as a fragment Listen because you have
- 01:41
to do four years of university studies for his medical
- 01:43
school and residency which is training program Where is the
- 01:47
subject and verb people didn't exist Problem lies with the
- 01:50
word because see because is what we call a subordinate
- 01:54
conjunction it's like baloo the conjunction really lowly on the
- 01:57
food chain of grammar put it in front of most
- 01:59
any claws and that klaus not santa get him out
- 02:03
of there is instantly transformed into a subordinate clause which
- 02:07
can't stand as its own sentence Got it For example
- 02:10
if we wrote the sentence i ate blood sausage Well
- 02:15
We have an independent clause That's Totally ok Standing on
- 02:18
its own Everything's kosher Well blood sausage profit isn't kosher
- 02:23
but that's what We need dramatically So now let's Add
- 02:26
because to our formerly independent clause and that sentence reads
- 02:31
because i ate blood Sausage feels incomplete right Well that's
- 02:35
because it is it's A fragment a sporting a closet
- 02:37
has to be attached to an independent claws like because
- 02:41
i ate blood sausage My date for wreaked out and
- 02:45
went home Okay well stop picking on being move on
- 02:47
to see right there Being a doctor requires for you
- 02:49
for you medical and a resident here in minutes Well
- 02:52
this one's the best we've had so far It gets
- 02:54
the steps in the right order and it's grammatically correct
- 02:57
But if we look at sentence six we see that
- 02:59
this version of sentence seven is redundant It's repetitive It
- 03:02
says the same thing over and over and over and
- 03:04
over again like that We've just been told that the
- 03:07
path to becoming a doctor is long and difficult So
- 03:09
we don't need to be reminded way get it it's
- 03:12
long and difficult already The correct answer is a it
- 03:15
requires four years of university studies and four years of
- 03:18
medical school followed by a training program called the residency
- 03:22
There we go It concisely list the steps to becoming
- 03:25
a doctor in the order that they'll occur although it
- 03:28
skips the breakdown maria will have in her fourth year 00:03:30.452 --> [endTime] of med school and put on all those pounds
