ABOUT THE LESSON 📚
Let's talk GRAMMAR! Gerunds and Infinitives can often confuse English learners...which VERBS do they follow? Today, we're going to go over common verbs that are followed by either a gerund or infinitive. And, of course, we'll practice what we've learned at the end.

@skafiend4319 Год назад

I learned it this way. Let's say if we have two verbs, we always use "to" between them; for example, "it's nice to meet you (to be + to + meet)", "You're to go to bed now", "It doesn't hurt to review old grammar", etc. I know know I overly simplify it (there are some exceptions like modal verbs, etc.) :D, but it works in general, so we just need to learn verbs with gerunds and a few exceptions. Thank you for your lesson :)

@VickiBee 6 лет назад

Especially in German. The sentence structure is really important for nouns. I tell you though: I never thought a noun could become my enemy until I started taking German. They change in every Case, which I had to learn before I could get into beginner's German. I went my whole life knowing English without being aware of the Nominative, Accusative, Dative & Genitive cases.

@VickiBee 5 лет назад

But thank God all gerunds in German have das as the form: das Lesen (reading) das Arbeiten (working) etc. So you don't have to figure out if it's der? die? or das?

@jaimealegree Год назад

@patrickchuan4550 6 месяцев назад

I think it is a strength of English not to be taught with the Nominative, Genitive, Dative, & Accusative cases. Of course, the bad news is that nobody will be able to give us the correct definition of Nominative, Genitive, & Dative. Also, the morphology mechanism of the plural form is an integral part of the case system. So, we actually have to derive the relationships ourselves. Then, we will be able to realize that given any root word, we can just turn it into a noun, adjective, adverb, or verb, with its P-components of gender, number, and case. To iterate, our strength is that we know that the case does not inherently define the meaning. Example: the word fast can be a noun, an adjective, adverb, and verb. So, we can say "For yesterday fast fast, I fasted fastly". Another word would be "present' with its different pronunciations: noun present (gift), verb present (to show), adjective-adverb present (now), adjective present (pronounced as pre-sent, meaning to-sent-beforehand). So, we can say "For the present pre-sent present, I present presently the options."

@Aerosmith77 5 лет назад

Hi, Wes! I am watching this video. I am watching that part where the verb can be followed by an infinitive and a gerund but the meaning changes. I remembered buying a present. It is clear, it is a memory, I remember to the event itself. She remembered to buy a present. You said she remembered and didn't forget to buy a present but she still didn't buy one - but she will. Could this also mean that she bought the present already because she did not forget to buy the present?

@InteractiveEng 5 лет назад

Hi Judit. In that case you would use the gerund. I remember buying the present (you bought the present). When using the infinitive, it means you still have to do this thing. Depending on the context, it could be used to talk about a completed action. For example, maybe someone accuses her of not remembering to buy a present. In that case you could say it and the meaning would infer that she already bought the present. 😊
