🔥 EXPLAINED! How to use GERUND v INFINITIVE v BARE INFINITIVE (Advanced)

Download the worksheet & test: free.englishwithgreg.com
👓 Watch with subtitles 👓
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!

    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!

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