Infinitives Usage

Hello classmates!

I hope you're having a great day! , and thanks for visiting my new entry!

Well let's begin, We have already studied  some infinitives and gerunds usage, but today I would like to focus just in sharing a complete view of the infinitives usage. 

Infinitives have a lot of ways in which you can use them, and some situations are:

- To express purpose    e.g.        
             I am calling to ask you about dad.
- As the subject of a sentence, e.g.     
            To visit the Grand Canyon is my life-long dream.
- To indicate what something can or will be used for,   
             Would you like something to drink?

- After and adjective:   
             It is important for you to be patient with your little brother.

- To make a judgement : 
             This is the right way to do.

And much more ways to use them !  

As you can see the usage of infinitives is very important and useful to know because we use then every day, so that's why I'm going to share at the end of this post, some links where you will find complete information about the topic and exercises.

Hello, dear classmates!

Today In this post I'm sharing with you the (GO + GERUND) usage in context, actually this topic is really useful to know because is used in simple ideas like "go shopping" or "go hiking", but also there are some interesting variations that we need to remember and be sure about how to use them in context.

An example is the following: "I have gone camping ...." as you can see it follows the same structure  "go +gerund" but in a different way, because there is a variation in the verb "go"

That's why I'm sharing at the end of the post a nice web page that show us how to use this grammar structure.
