Transcript

00:03

All right a c t s fibres were on eight

00:06

of twelve of tech news end and here we go

00:09

internet While few use that's the focus Let's go down

00:12

to paragraph three and just get to it The days

00:15

of going to record sort of buy an album are

00:17

long gone We fix that before struggling to maintain their

00:21

existence Record stores can't compete with digital streaming services Yeah

00:25

we fix that one too Thank you People nowadays no

00:28

longer need to store their music They can listen to

00:31

whatever they choose as long as they have access to

00:35

the internet while few you cd or vinyl records storage

00:39

cases anymore There's something rotten in denmark here in denmark

00:44

being a paragraph three There's the comma effectively separates the

00:51

two clauses of the sentence The sentence is correct as

00:54

is who actually not run not rotten at all It

00:58

works And yes we love it When that happens they

01:01

were just pushing on you Semicolons and periods separate thoughts

01:05

that can each stand alone you know on their own

01:09

But the second part of this particular sense begins with

01:12

while which is a dependent clause and definitely can't stand

01:16

on its own unless it has a hefty pair of

01:18

training wheels like it either Yeah finally joining the two

01:21

parts of the sentence with a comma and without any

01:24

connector word creates a comma slice and a grammatical error

01:27

And sometimes when you take these questions you should actually

01:30

go through the wrong ones even if it looks okay

01:32

to you and that there's no change stick in these

01:35

others like they'll just sound bad like the idea that

01:38

people nowadays bubble whatever they choose as long as they

01:40

have access to music While few years alright we'll access

01:45

the music give access music through the internet right That's

01:48

the big failing on this one It's should be internet

01:51

not music and note that in each of these they

01:54

just have music there So that's all wrong Answer is

01:57

a no change Everyone could just go chill and listen 00:02:00.061 --> [endTime] to some led zep Yeah
