- Hello tutors! Why it is important to learn second, third or fourth language?
Does it play any role for peace on the globe?
Best answer
Speaking from personal experience, as someone who travels a lot. My travels made me a better person. How? With years I realized that regardless of race, religious affiliation or nationality deep down we are all the same. We all cry and laugh for the same things. My travels made me completely colour blind. And of course, to travel - and to be able to communicate with people along the way - you need languages. The more the better. A new language gives you a better insight into a culture you didn't encounter before. No Wikipedia can ever match that.

- Why do we regard 'where, when, why, how' as relative pronouns instead of relative clauses?
Don't they also follow a name and qualify that name? Wouldn't that require us to mention them as adjective clauses? Thank you so much.💯🍀

Relative pronouns "who", "which" and "whose" are the most commonly used relative words. "How" is not used as a relative word, and "why" and "while" only marginally. "Where" and "when" are relative adverbs. Relative words have a grammatical function within the relative clause. The relative pronoun "who" has a dual function in the sentence: "Students who study grammar have a better chance at becoming confident speakers of English" - "who" both introduces a subordinate clause (as subordinators do) and performs a grammatical function of subject in its structure. "That" is just a subordinator, it doesn't have a grammatical function within the structure of the relative clause it introduces. The subordinator "that" sort of "announces" that we are about to introduce an embedded/subordinate clause.
- We kick off a concert, which is something we never thought we would do.Question in details. Thanks🍀🍀
Why use to would and is there omit related to relative clause following something and thought? In the sentence just above, how would I decide whether to place 'following' to refer omit; should it used just after omit or clause?
Best answer
First off, respectfully, there is no such thing as "to would" in English. In "never thought we would" we are dealing with something called "the sequence of tenses". If this is new to you, the concept, at least at this point, may be a bit too complicated to explain. But I'll try. In sequence of tenses there is something called Principal Clause and then something called Subordinate Clause. In your example "we never thought" is the Principal Clause and "we would do" is Subordinate Clause. Principal Clause, as the name itself suggests, is the "principal" part, i.e. what determines what Subordinate Clause will look like. In your case, the Principal Clause "we never thought" is in the past and thereby consequently dictates that the Subordinate Clause must "go back" one step to the past. Hence "we would do". If Principal Clause were in the present, i.e. "we never think", the Subordinate Clause would be "we will do". As for the omission, feel free to book my lesson for more. No space left :)
