Dear madam, you are one of the best English teachers on youtube! Thank you for the video on Gerund and Infinitive. In each language there are difficult parts, or better to say “confusing” parts. I think, if they were reduced or simplified, learning the language would be easier and more enjoyable. And this is not only my opinion; a great many people think so! You know, even one of my British acquaintances, for whom English is a native language, misuses Gerund and Infinitive. And it is not surprising, as the list of words, which are used with them, is a long one. and I think only the specialists can use them correctly.

Hi Hasmik, you are right, if we can make things more simple and easy to understand it does make learning a language more enjoyable! I will try to do this with all my lessons! I also agree with you that many native speakers make errors with English grammar.... many and this shows that it is not easy! Thanks again for your comment! 🙏

It should be made clear that a gerund is the base verb + ing acting as a noun or adjective, and is not the participle used in the continuous form of verbs. It was very informative to have examples of verbs that can either be followed by a gerund or the infinitive with to. Great lesson. 👍

@oxfordenglishnow
@oxfordenglishnow Жыл бұрын
Hi, The phrase "help us wash up" uses the base form "wash" without the "to" because "help" is a verb that can be followed directly by another verb in its base form. In English, some verbs, like "help," "watch," "make," and "let," are followed by a second verb without the "to" before it. This construction is known as the bare infinitive. I hope that helps!

Good morning teacher, wonderful lesson, I´d like to take advance of this opportunity to ask you, in some places I see the verb admit and admit to, in both cases follow by the ing form but I don´t understand the difference between them, Could you be so kind to explaint this to me? Many thanks.
@oxfordenglishnow
@oxfordenglishnow Ай бұрын
Of course! Both "admit" and "admit to" can be followed by the -ing form of a verb, but there are slight differences in usage and style. Here's an explanation: 1. "Admit" + -ing form This is the more direct and standard way to express that someone acknowledges something. It tends to be used more frequently in formal contexts or where the focus is on the action itself. Example: He admitted stealing the money. (He acknowledged that he stole the money.) 2. "Admit to" + -ing form Adding "to" introduces a preposition, making the construction feel slightly less direct or more conversational. This usage emphasizes the acknowledgment of a responsibility or involvement in the action. It can also be slightly more idiomatic in casual speech. Example: He admitted to stealing the money. (He acknowledged his involvement in stealing the money.) Key Points: Both forms are grammatically correct and often interchangeable. "Admit to" may sound a bit more natural in everyday English, while "admit" without "to" might sound more formal or concise. After "admit to", the verb in the -ing form acts like the object of the preposition "to." A Note on Usage: In some contexts, "admit to" is preferred for clarity, especially when the action involves something more abstract or when it's necessary to specify involvement. Otherwise, the meaning remains quite similar. Example for both: Without "to": She admitted lying about her grades. With "to": She admitted to lying about her grades. (Both sentences mean she acknowledged lying.) I hope that helps!

Good evening Professor, I was wondering if you might know a trick or a rule for figuring out whether to start a sentence with an infinitive or a gerund that carries out the action of noun. For example: Smoking is dangerous To smoke is dangerous Traveling is great To travel is great Shall there be a rule about whether to use one or the other or both? I did not find anything in the books! Thank you kindly and please accept my deepest apologies for disturbing you. I pay my respects to you. Andrea

@oxfordenglishnow
@oxfordenglishnow 2 жыл бұрын
Hi Andrea, Both gerunds and infinitives can be used as the subject or the complement of a sentence. However, as subjects or complements, gerunds usually sound more like normal, spoken English, whereas infinitives sound more abstract. In the following sentences, gerunds sound more natural and would be more common in everyday English. Infinitives emphasise the possibility or potential for something and sound more philosophical. As a rule of thumb a gerund is best most of the time. Normal subject Abstract subject Learning is important. To learn is important.

Hello mam As we know gerund phrase working as noun . So can we use gerund phrase or gerund with Dummy subject "THERE" as noun. As)-- 1) -- THERE was [fighting in the class] . 2)-- THERE was [starting a new business] in town. Is "THERE" word still "DUMMY subject" in those sentences ? And what is the real subject in those sentence ? I hope you help us .

Hi, This is what I found in Cambridge Grammar. There operates as a dummy subject in the construction there is or there are. There is/are indicates that something or someone exists or is in a particular place or situation: There’s a woman waiting outside who wants to talk to you. (The real subject is the woman - she is waiting outside.). In your example, the real subject is "fighting." In the second sentence the grammar is not quite right. There was a new business starting in town. The real subject would be the business. I hope that helps.

what are the verbs that take both ?

@oxfordenglishnow 3 жыл бұрын
Hi, Adam, there are verbs that can take both with no for very little change in meaning, such as like, love and hate for example. But there are those which can take either but with a change in meaning and I have made a lesson on that here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6ukgZyQadqGbMk Hope that helps!

Hi Mr. Baro Drama, no here it is a noun. I can see how you are confused but it is used with the possessive pronoun "your." Hope that helps.

@@oxfordenglishnow thanks for your explanation. I like ur videos. But gerund is verb-ing which functions as a noun, isn't it? What is the difference from these sentences 1. Your writing is good 2. I like writing. Can u explain more about sentence no 1. Why can't we call that gerund? Thanks in advance

Sorry Ab, I was not clear here, I was referring to object pronouns, that is those pronouns that receive the action in a sentence. They are me, you, him, her, us, them, and whom. I hope that helps!
