And your videos can help me to avoid those confusions. Your presentation is clean and pretty much on target. Keep up the good work as we are benefiting a lot.

•Use of TO 1.direction(I walk to shop) 2.limit (The water is up to sea level) 3 time (The shop is open 10.00 to 11.00 pm) 4.preference (I like coffee to tea) • The use of for 1.help( I help for my grand mother) 2.benefit(water help for our immunity system) 3.past action(I have been waiting here for 30 minutes) 4.functional use (Its used for drinking)

@PaleMist 11 месяцев назад

Extremely close, but several important corrections: 1. “I walk to shop” should be “I walk to *the* shop” because without the definite article, “to shop” becomes the to-infinitive verb. 3 “The shop is open 10.00 to 11.00 pm” is acceptable but “The shop is open *from* 10.00 to 11.00 pm” is more natural. 4. “I like coffee to tea” is incorrect; it should be “I *prefer* coffee to tea” or (if you insist on using “like”) “I like coffee *more than* tea.” • The use of for 1. “help” (if an object is present) requires a direct object, particularly if “for” is used. Also, “grand mother” is one word so it should be “I *help my grandmother for* my grandfather.” 2. Again, if *help* is used and there is any object, then there must be a direct object. “Water helps our immunity system”. Other than those things, you did well.

I'm a teacher of English here in my home country and, more often than not, we come across sentences like "One of the advantages TO living in the city is....." and the paragraph immediately after that says "One of the disadvantages OF living in the city is..." - Is there any significant difference between TO and OF in this case?

@GabrielaAttar 2 года назад

@@Helmarful Thank you for your feedback. Of course since OF is a preposition, we need to use a gerund after it. The question would be: Would you ever use "The advantage to + ING?" IF so, what would the difference be? The advantage to using technology in the classroom vs. The advantage of using technology in the classroom. Since OF and TO are prepositions, we need -ING after them.

@Helmarful 2 года назад

@@GabrielaAttar Hi, Gaby! Thanks for the reply.Yeah, difference is that the preposition TO " The advantage TO usING " is part of the previous expression, I mean, TO has been attached to the noun " advantage ". Otherwise, I would've used the infinitive of the verb " to use " in the sentence " The advantage TO use ( infinitive).
