Thank you We sneak in and here's your smoke to

00:05

shore Brought to you by doctors in training Our friend

00:08

had one do some plastic surgery and now he sees

00:11

through his nose Yeah That's really cool isn't it Yeah

00:15

What happens when he sneezes The following passage They're like

00:20

projectile tears Maybe with a kleenex wipe That thing anywhere

00:24

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
