Welcome to English grammar spot! This lesson is about the gerund and the infinitive.

In this lesson I am going to show you
-
what a gerund is, when to use a gerund, what an infinitive is
-
and when to use an infinitive.
-
Now there's not a very and I case off by the usage errand
-
or use an infinitive the jet engine the Infiniti for simply
-
grammatical tools which were used to construct a sentence
-
so it's not a difference essence AE know he a user posts in poor and the usurper
-
present perfect now take a look at the sentences
-

-
year
-
in the first sentence saying is what we call a change
-
in the second sentence to go is what we call infinity
-
now what is the germans
-
a gerund is a verb to which ING is
-
had aids the damage looks like that but it is used as a noun
-
moreover it looks often nike continues tens
-
but it issues differently for example
-
eating the claus is not allowed eating here is a gerund
-
why because it's the subject of a sentence
-
it is a noun here where is he was eating in class is a POS continues
-
because here its use as it ends now when you use each event
-
first and foremost use the gerund often
-
as a verbal noun so and noun that looks like a fat
-
for example smoking in public areas should be banned
-
so we have the Feb to smoke we've added
-
I N G E so we've made into a noun and
-
it takes a position of the subject here he quit smoking cigars when he was 25
-
again we've taken the vet to smoke
-
I did ING making it a noun and then put it in their place
-
of the object so here it has become a noun
-
wheels to use the gerund after certain verbs
-
so these Arnold all the Philips but those are these are the most common ones
-
to it needs to avoid to consider to deny
-
to enjoy to finish to involve to keep
-
to mean to practice to quit to remember
-
to stop to understand and to waste so
-
in sins I have to it meets going to the cinema
-
is am very nice for instance we also use the gerund after positions
-
such swimming we didn't do much subsides here's a preposition
-
or I'm thinking also quitting my job again
-
officer position so it is preceded by agent
-
he looks at her without saying a word
-
and again without is a preposition know what is an infinitive
-
the verb itself is an infinitive and it can be preceded by to you
-
so here we call it then to infinitive all simply the Fed itself
-
and not is that generally punitive for example to be honest
-
I love learning English so to be is the two infinitive
-
I would rather help my mother here help
-
is the infinitive go in check if I let the open arm
-
go unchecked both infinitives now when do we use the
-
to infinity certain verbs
-
take the to infinity for example these birds are
-
to appear to arrange to bother to choose to decide to fill two
-
hope to learn to manage to offer
-
to plan to refuse to seem to tend
-
to volunteer to which so these are the most common ones these are not all
-
so a.m. by appear to have lost my keys for example so to appear
-
and to have for then is the to infinity
-
we also use the two infinitive
-
after detectives it was difficult to see through the fog so here
-
difficult is an injective she's happy to help us
-
again happy as an injective takes the to infinity
-
and it is easy to make cake when to use a regular infinitive
-
after modles we use the infinitive can kud
-
wheel would shell me might must and shoot
-
are the modals and these aren't generally preceded by the infinitive
-
so a min for instance I might wonder where my keys
-

-
example he began playing baseball last TM
-
as a post add to the infinitive which is used for things that can
-
was to happen so and it is still possible to win
-
or he will begin to play baseball next month
-
for instance so that's generally the difference then between the two
-

-
for example to allow to begin to continue to forget
-
to hate to love to intend to like to mean t need
-
to prefer to remember to start to stop
-
to try to once so am it is a tricky thing
-
the jammed in the infinitive but and luckily
-
