    One of my students just wrote to me asking me about the use of the infinitive, gerund, infinitive without “to” after the word BE. He said that he "had seen many videos teaching the difference between gerund and infinitives but none of them have mentioned this!"
    So... I made a video explaining exactly that!!

    Hi Mr. Greg!
    I have watched it while hanging boards in the classroom and I really enjoyed your clear explanation. Teaching is also my favourite job if there's no noise in the classroom. As you know noise is a real distraction when one is working. I appreciate it Thumbs up! Cheers!

    Bonjour, j’apprécie votre pédagogie. Vous avez la facilité de retenir notre concentration : par votre voix, votre débit qui nous aide à mieux vous comprendre, la traduction disponible pour les débutantes, comme moi, d’indiquer en rouge dans les phrases ce que vous nous enseigner. Je vous félicite de nous transmettre vos connaissances avec autant de passion et de vulgariser le tout pour que ce soit plus facile pour nous et surtout nous donner le goût de continuer l’apprentissage de la langue anglaise qui n’est pas évident pour les débutants. 🇨🇦Linda

    in one of the examples you said “what I want you to do is stay here and don’t move”.
    Shouldn’t it be “what I want you to do is stay here and not move”?
    With love and respect. Great lessons 👍🏼

    Thank you for the lesson. I want to know more about the use and meaning of gerund as adjective. For example, "hunting tigers" can mean "to hunt [some] tigers" but also "tigers that hunt [their preys]". Also, I want to know when "of" is used with gerund. For example, "lifting rocks" vs "lifting of rocks" vs "rock lifting". Thank you🙏

    Well, I see that "to", even if being used with a verb, still stays a preposition of direction, direction to intention 😀

    There is also "help" among the verbs that precede bare infinitives (at least that's what Grammarly says) - It was a slightly windy day, and that helped cool off the air!

    • @EnglishWithGreg
      @EnglishWithGreg  16 днів тому

      You can follow ‘help’ with the ‘to infinitive’ or the ‘bare infinitive’. Both are acceptable. 😀

    I think some of these rules can also be a little flexible, can't they? But I guess you didn't mean to make them too confusing.
