Right?! especially since we had to make the same connection between molecular motion and high vs low temps. "we don't KNOW that molecular motion is linked to high temps.... it doesn't say that".

yeah, he lays on the shame thick with this one... I've gotten this one wrong twice!

I thought that P & C were respectively Physician and Counselor for the last problem....

Now I am remembering that Premise and Conclusion are a thing lol.

One week in and I learned the answer is yes. Until my brain is doing it naturally and immediately, write out everything.

Should I be practicing writing Lawgic on my scratch paper? Is it recommended that I do this while testing? Or is this just a way of thinking?

In clause 1, remove "is postponed".

The purpose of this lesson is to practice what is called "Independent vs dependent clauses". Depending on if a clause can stand alone or not in a sentence, as well as its position, determines how commas are used in the sentence in addition to confusing what the independent subject, verb, and object are.

subject does the verb.

Object gets verbbed by the subject.

I hit him.

I hit him in the face. (In the face is modifying my hit)

I sit on the bench. (no object since no noun is getting sat. On the bench modifies how I sit.

I sit my butt on the bench. (Butt is object. I verbbed it on the bench.)

pressured is acting as an adjective here. (technically not part of the verb). So the root is "Diners feel." but we know that's not enough so he tagged on the adverb for convenience.... There is no object in this sentence.

If we changed it to "Diners feel pressure", changing it from adjective to noun, then pressure as a noun would be an acceptable object.

Hello everyone! This is a bad example, but there is an answer. Every word in every sentence has rules it needs to follow. For this sentence "The cat likes to drink" would be sufficient since not every sentence has an object.

I hit.

I hit him.

I like to hit him.

I like to hit him in his face.

Here, I changed the verb from "hit" in the first two, to "like", or rather, "like to hit" in the latter. (this is why I don't like this example: he uses "likes to drink" as the verb, rather than just one word.)

In all of my examples except the first, though, "him" is still getting punched, no matter what, and we are committed to it and can't change it. And then, in the last, "in his face" is just modifying where I'm hitting "him".

"of" is a preposition. Prepositional phrases are a type of adjective or describing phrase.

Remember to find the verb. What is doing the verb? What is getting verbbed?

Any arguments in this statement are based on assumption. We would need to get them on the spectrum of Strong → Weak Arguments.

I miss people when I go without seeing them for more than 4 minutes. You were gone for 5 minutes. Since I always hug people when I miss them, I'm hugging you.
