So here's a situation: Paula is trying to lose weight and I tell her: "When you stop to lose weight we'll blablabla..." Or should I say: "When you stop losing weight we'll blablabla ..." ?
Hello, from Greece! What a nice lesson!!! What understandable explanations about such a topic!!! Thank you a lot, teacher!!! From now, I am going to follow you... Many regards!
+Emma29 batista Of the top of my head regret and forget are the same. I don't believe deny can be followed by a gerund or an infinitive. Check out this site to see what grammatical structures it can be followed by: www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/english/deny?q=deny Admit is a much more complicated verb. You can say admit + to + doing something, or admit + doing. Check out this link: www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/english/admit?q=admit
Dear , Your lesson is great.However, I am in confusion between "to play" and "for playing". You know both have same meaning. Let me give the example. I went there to play cricket. I went there for playing cricket. What is the difference between these two sentences. Please obviate my confusion. Thanks ..I am waiting for your reply
Sachinder Sharma Well, first of all. Sorry for the late response. The main difference is that the first sentence is correct and the second, while technically correct, sound like Spanglish more than English. Usually, 'to' is followed by a verb and it shows your intent. 'for' is followed by a noun and expresses reason, it is similar to because. You could say, "I went there for cricket'. It sounds less like Spanglish. Cheers.
Sentence --> Infinitives are the easiest verbals to learn. 'verbals' = predicate noun 'to learn' is infinitive. What is the role played by it ? Is it modifying the word 'verbals' or 'easiest' ?
