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
sailing around the world is an adventure I can't afford to go on holiday this
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
on now
as I said in the beginning of this video people tend to
be and tooth troubled by the german teen infinity think thinking that you
i the use the gerund already infinitive
am and their strict rules to that am
it is more complicated than that but generally we can say
that the German tissues for things that have already happened
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
am and many folks can be preceded by both the gym in 10 the infinitive
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
and in most cases it doesn't really matter and
which to use only if you am are
