[@user-no2mz9hl4f]

@@estella8608 No need to apologise! That’s exactly why I thought I’d offer a correction. I know that when I’m learning a foreign language, I always appreciate notes from native speakers, so I just wanted to help.

I just recently discovered your channel and I am obsessed!! I teach high school English and it is so useful having a "second" teacher in the classroom at times, keeps the students more interested 🙂

[@fararod1]

Good advices for emergencies, 1) if the first action is happening at the same time as the second action, use gerund, and 2) if the action leads to a second action, use infinitive. Thank you for the new lesson, Lucy. ❤

[@gopuvijay9471]

I love your grammar. An awesome lesson such a clear explanation. I always confused myself when it comes to these topics but now got clarity that how to use these gerunds and infinitives. Thank You Lucy

[@Jeff-xy7fv]

Great lesson! I had verbals (gerunds, infinitives, participles) in 10th grade grammar. I still remember everything I was taught about them. We never covered the certain verbs that can only use a gerund or an infinitive, however (7:51 thru 11:32). This lesson applies to both British and American English.

I hated gerunds in school and even now I'm still feeling confused about them.. Watching this video gives me at least a reminder to learn the few verbs by heart and finally I understood what a gerund is after all. And to sound posh by using infinitives? I love it!

[@radithsantrg1797]

Hello, can you tell me bit about them, because after watched video lucy. I'm still confused to used about gerund infinity.

[@Rena-ug7mj]

Hi Lucy. Greetings from Hong Kong! We studied gerund and to-infinitive in college. Even the difference of the words that can followed by both a gerund and a to-infinitive. Like “She stopped walking when she saw Mike." or "On the long way to London, she stopped to take a rest." Would you have another video to teach us more examples about the different meanings for some verbs when they followed by gerund and to-infinitive?

[@slowlearner4341]

Thank you, Lucy. This video, like numerous of other I saw already, is reliable and very accurate. However, the subject of topic for anglophiles is quite shaky and foggy. I've attacked this irritating "binomial" few times and usually I've still hesitated. According to my knowledge, this puzzle requires time for digesting. It means to read and listen, paying attention for "G". and "to I". "neighborhood". Attacking isn't the best way to win this battle. I wish both of you Happy New Year.
