    Excellent grammatical explanations. I knew all that but never thought about the details as you explained. After a while you get to a point where you just instinctively know when something sounds right or not without thinking about why or why not.

    Note that in English, you can also phrase 'seeing is believing' as 'to see is to believe'. English has lost a lot of uses for the infinitive that many other related languages still have, in both the Germanic and Romance languages, resulting in the overuse of the gerund. English is often the odd one out, although that's true for every languages at various points.

    After a year of daily study, first I've seen something like this. Awesome! It's actually funny because I DO TRY to use the gerundio when speaking in Spanish and now I know I don't need to

    Simple rule: infinitives are generally used as nouns, so use them where you'd use words like algo/esto/...
    * esto/nadar es divertido
    * esto/{leer historia} es interesante
    * antes de esto/levantase
    * no (está permitido) esto/comer -> no comer
    * quiero esto/{ir al gimnasio}
    * me gusta esto/{leer cómics}
    * pensar en algo/esto/{ir de compras}
    * sin esto/pensar
    Etc.

    Muchísimas gracias a usted, Professor! You make my day!
    He aprendido el Español en Colegio, pero núnca puedo hablarlo facilmente, porque mis amigos son haïtianos como yo. Qué lastima!
    Entonces, yo no tengo nadie para practicar con.
    Gracias a Dios y a usted! Que tenga un buen día!

      In Spanish you can't end a sentence or clause with a dangling preposition

      @QrooSpanish  2 дня назад +4

      For the most part yes, although sometime "in place of" is a better option. An example would be asking a waiter to subsitute something on the menu for something else(en lugar de).

    Thanks for the lesson. Off topic but I was wondering about me rolling the "r" at the end of an infinitive. I hear so many native speakers not rolling it that I keep thinking maybe I am over-rolling it or should I even be doing it at all . But perhaps it is regional? I think I hear more Spaniards doing heavy rolling. Or perhaps it just depends on if they feeling lazy and speaking more casual?

    .Have mercy on us may God have mercy on you appeal only out of hunger and poverty, O scholar, be well in our skin. 😭😢😭😢😢I asked you, by God, to save us before we die of extreme hunger. I asked you to enter. on God. On you, I am facing you, I am your sister, I beg you, I beg you, save us for the love of GodGod is my witness, my brother, that from morning until now we are forbidden to ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' I swear to God on the book of God that I will not lie to you, nor set you up, nor cheat you. I am a Yemeni girl from Yemen, displaced from my family and I. Between us is a house of 15 thousand Yemeni riyals, and now we owe 45 thousand for 3 months. The owner of the house is one of those people who do not have mercy. By God, my brother, he comes every day and humiliates us and talks about us and wants us to go out to the street because we were unable to pay him the rent. The neighbors saw us crying and they went back to talk to the neighbors and we have not paid him until the end of the week. I swear to God, this will put us out to the street. May God have mercy on us. Our country is suffering because of this war and we cannot find our daily sustenance and we live, my mother and my brothers are traveling, our father passed away, may God have mercy on him, and we have no one in this world to be with us in these harsh circumstances. My little brothers went out to the street and saw the neighbors eating and stopped at their door to give them even a piece of bread. By God, who owns the heavens and the earth, they closed the door and threw them out and they came back crying, dying of hunger. No one had mercy on them and the holiday was returned so I could live. Now, if one of us does not help us with a kilo of flour, I swear to God that we will die of hunger. Oh brother, I seek refuge in God and then in you and I want your help for the sake of God. I ask you by God, do you love good and help me even with 500 Yemeni riyals? Send me a WhatsApp message on this number *00967713342392* and ask for my card name and send it and do not delay and God will compensate you with all good. My little brothers, see how they are and help us and save us before they throw us out into the street. You will be humiliated or die of hunger. My family and I ask you by God, if you are able to help us, do not delay in helping us. May God reward you.°÷π÷π÷÷π`π^~_~÷`÷`π÷~_π`÷~ππ°~÷~π~π~÷~π~ππ~π.......،.، ......،.،..،.،..،.،.،..،.،..،.،.،.،..............,.,..,.,.,.,..,.,.,..,..،.،.،.،.،..،..,..,., , ,.,.,..,.,.,..,.,.,.,........................,.,.,..,. . .. . .. . . .. . .. . . . ... ....،..، ........... ....،.... .،.،..،..،.،..،.،.............سِالُتتكِ بّالُلُُه 💔الُجْلُيَلُ الُجْبّارَ انَ تْنَقًذَنَا قًبّلُ انَ نَمٌوَتْ مٌنَ شِدِتْ الُجْوَع انَتٌْخيَكِ انَيَ دٌِخلُةِ ْعلُى الُلُُه تْمٌ ْعلُيَكِ انَيَ فَيَ وَجُْهك انَـيَ اخـتْكِ انَـيَ اتْرَجْـاكِ اتْـوَسِـلُ الُـيَـكِ انَـقًـذَنَا لُـوَجُْـه الُـلُُـه. يَــشِــُهدِ الُــلُــُه يَاٌخـيَ انَ مٌنَ الُــصّــبّاحُ حُـتْا الُـانَ يَــحُــرَمٌ ْعـــلُيَـنَـا الاكل غير الماء ( (ا..،.، ..،..،.،.،..،.،..،..،..،..،.،..،..،.،.،..،.،..،.،...،..،..،.،.،..،...،.،.،.،..،.،.،.،..،..،...،.،...،..،...،..،..،.،..،..،

I ask you by Allah, the Living, the Eternal, to help me. By Allah, the Almighty, even at night we cannot sleep from fear. We do not have mattresses or blankets to warm ourselves from the cold. Everything is flooded from the rain, and we have no one but Allah and then you. My brothers, I kiss your boots, don’t turn me away empty-handed. Help us with whatever you can. Is it acceptable to you that we live in this place? We are girls and we have no one. Our father died in a car accident. Consider us your daughters and your honor, and help me with whatever you can.
