Great thanks. There are a lot of online and paper materials about difference between gerund and infinitive. But this material is the best I have ever read and listened. Now, I have no questions in my mind concerning this issue.

[@gdindustries681]

[@lizaliza8367]

Hello! I Just want to thank you for posting these videos, they are immensely helpful and very easy to understand. I teach ESL in Russia and I sometimes have a hard time explaining to my students some things, because I'm not a native speaker of english, so - thank you again and very well done indeed! Looking forward to seeing new excellent stuff!

[@MrSkypelessons]

+Лиза Пучкова You are very welcome! Thanks for the support

[@bimaljitkaur4511]

Hi Sir, perfectly explained in details, I knew the list of verbs where meaning changes but you explained why and how that have cleared all doubts. You are a great English teacher.

[@contexteduc]

Great video one of those topics that confuse learners.My students find it hard to choose between gerund and infinitive when it comes to some verbs like stop, regret, try, forget and remember.But they get it after giving them my tricks.

[@MartaDelBuono]

the best lesson ever about -ing and infinitive form. thank you very much

Great video as usual. Your channel is something I came across very recently and I am just catching up on your videos now but boy do I wish I had found them sooner. You are no doubt the best teacher for me. Even though I live in the US and I prefer the US accent, I just love watching your videos. I like how you cover your topics of information and not just that you include as much information as necessary to drive the your point home and then some. Please keep up this great work of yours. Your channel is deserving and worthy of more subs/views compared to some of the other good youtube teachers.

[@ВиталийСлонов-ч4ъ]

Granted, sometimes the choice of an infinitive or gerund does not really affect meaning or minimally affects the meaning of a verb complement. As in: I prefer to eat fish every day=I prefer eating fish every day. However, with certain types of verbs (verbs of emotion and verbs of completion/incompletion), the meaning *is affected by the choice of infinitive or gerund, isn't it, Dave? We often use gerunds to describe real, vivid, or fulfilled actions, whereas we often tend to use infinitives to describe potential, hypothetical, or future events, don't we? E.g. Verbs of emotion: Did you like dancing at the party last night? (*actual event) Do you like to dance? I know a good nightclub. (*potential event) I preferred studying chemistry over biology. (*actual event) I prefer to study chemistry in the future. (*potential event) Concur? Great video.

[@CandleroomLiberty]

Hello teacher. Thank you for sharing about the difference of infinitive and gerund. I learned about them in language school last week though, I didn't get it. Finally I understood the difference on this video. Thank you very much.

[@hasanovdoniyor9330]

your accent is so clear and understandable that i like it. thank you very much

[@lyn2375]

this is actually the first time i get Gerund and infinity. Bravoooo

[@zamtube791]

Using gerunds is that you like experiencing now, while Infinitive is about experiencing when the time comes to experience. I love speaking French( I love it because I am in France). I love to speak French when I go to France ( I will love it when I go to France and speak French)

[@gopalashetty6405]

Bloody brilliant teaching style. I haven't seen such a video on KZbin in recent time. your accent sounds too good. please upload more more vides in KZbin as well as in vimeo.

[@smasadulhaque4465]

Hi, why do we say: “I am looking forward to seeing/ hearing from you.” “To present you with a view to creating greater understanding “ What’s the rule of this form of sentence vis-a-vis gerund? Grateful for your assistance, please. Thanks in advance.

[@andrewchew5507]

However I want to clarify on the following sentence1]"He decided to buy a car" In this context, could I safely deduce that he only has made a decision to buy car and thus he has yet to buy the car. thkqAndrew chew2 months agoreally appreciate your effort to explain the infinitive and gerund.

[@eepluveepluv3718]

Now it is so clear, you are really good explaining, thank you so much! I'm ready for my test now :)

[@falconi1211]

Hi Dave? I had understood from another lessons that there is a difference in (hate, love ,etc) Briefly it is that we should use gerund if we have already lived the experience and to+infinitive if we haven´t. For example:-Every summer I live in Spain for 3 months. I love "living" there.-I have heard about the amazing Spanish weather. I love to live in Spain.I am aware that in the second one, using "would" would make more sense but I´ve seen this case in many exercises.Did I understand it right? If yes, is this something to take into consideration?Thanks a lot for your lessons. I do like yours straight explanations and the structure of the lessons. I also have to say that "the common mistakes" lessons are such a great idea, giving us the correct way and awareness of them even before we commit them. Thanks again. Respect Master Dave! :)

[@MrSkypelessons]

+julian ticotico would like, or ;would love, or would hate are all ONLY to + infinitive. But without would like, love and hate can all be used with to + infinitive OR gerund, with little difference in meaning. Gerund is better for general activities, and to + inf for particular situations.

[@anunnakis1]

I enjoyed this video. Thanks very much!!

Hello. In the example you mentioned, that "My windows need cleaning" is passive voice. I have checked, that a gerund in the passive voice is being +3rd. Please, explain to me a difference between your example and mine (My windows need being cleaned). Thank you

[@MrSkypelessons]

"My windows need cleaning" is NOT passive voice, but it means the SAME as the passive voice. (My windows need cleaning = My windows need to be cleaned)

[@adhurimmalaj645]

what about the other verbs, where can i find the different usage of them in gerund or infinitives?

[@lutfi201190]

I really appreciate what you have said sir. It's a fantastic job. Thanks alot

[@papo9319]

Hi professor, I have a question, is the same rule you said about the verb begin in non-continuos and continuos tenses for the rest of the verbs ? e.g "She is considering having a holiday" is it correct? not and why... thanks

[@mchatterjee1407]

Thanks You. Really it's easy to understand, nicely explained

[@yusufsenel2807]

thank you so much my new teacher I am a student in Mersin university. I will recamend you ,my friend

[@MrSkypelessons]

Not really. But I can understand a lot. If you want to hear me speaking it, try the video called Выучи Английский На Скаип!

[@May-lx6dd]

I hate this kind of grammatical structure , but you did great job , you taught well thank you

[@Innperlenburg]

Personally, I feel that there is an (albeit subtle) difference in meaning when using like, love, hate and prefer. 'I like dancing' and 'I like to dance' mean much the same thing; agreed - but I think that 'to dance' implies something specific, and a certain intention, especially when added to. e.g : I like dancing', (the activity in general) and: 'I like to dance when no-one can see me,' (implies something specific - means that a preference is expressed.) 'To' carries the feeling of a desire or direction ------> something else. The 'ing' infinitive is also often used when expressing an activity, (often general) e.g. 'I love swimming,' 'He remembers having the accident', 'We stopped listening to the music.' The 'to' + infinitive is used when you want to show an intention to do something specific - (but this was covered when 'in order to' was mentioned.) A tricky one for my German students is the verb 'help: 'I helped him to repair his roof', 'She helped them to understand gerunds better.' 'They helped us to carry our luggage'. (Object follows verb) and phrases/set expressions like: 'I can't help loving you', 'He can't help losing his keys,' 'We couldn't help laughing.' (The gerund/ing form IS the object of the sentence.)

[@betzabez.m.5348]

Thanks! An excellent video! It's very helpful

[@edstaley7211]

Infinitive = Future, while Gerands = past, or so it seems to me. Is this correct? Great information and delivery. Thank you

[@larissamariaschroeder3521]

Thanks for the clear explanation. It was extremely helpful.Iˋm studying for the CAE and I found an explanation about the difference in the use of go on with gerund and infinitive forms. Is there any difference as well when I use continue? The grammar book uses these examples: I went on working even though it was late. The meaning is "the continuing of an action". But in the infinitive form, The Prime Minister went on to praise the Chancellor. This means the Prime Minister continued his speech by praising the Chancellor. Could you please help me with both meaning? Should I follow the same pattern when using continue?

[@marianakuramoto4873]

What about after auxiliary verbs like "do" and "did"? "Do you like swimming" or "Do you like to swim?" We use gerund or to+infinitive?

[@MrSkypelessons]

+Mariana Kuramoto Tyhey After 'like' both are grammatically correct

[@ДмитрийКурляндчик-ц1й]

Hello! There's a sentense: "She *admitted to having* a Glock in her center console" Is "admit to" a collocation like "look forward to" or "be used to" which required gerund after them? And is there any grammar rule about construction "to + gerund", or it is only for the collocations?

[@MrSkypelessons]

+Дмитрий Курляндчик admit to + gerund = correct. And it is the same as admit + gerund (or confess to + gerund)

[@ДмитрийКурляндчик-ц1й]
