    Greetings. Me again. You directed me to this video from a question I made under the one about the present participle.
    First, all kind of thanks. You are the only one I have found that actually addresses the subject of "xxxing" vs. "to xxx"; even large grammar websites just mention it, if they even mention it. So, now I have a better understanding of this matter.
    Second... I still don't understand it, lol. As I suspected, this is largely a matter of use, habit, just the way things are, whether they "sound right" or not. Yourself give that as a reason for using one or the other form, repeatedly. That's all right, all languages have these quirks. Good to know them and their names.
    You don't mention it, but it seems to me there is also a matter of avoiding cacophonic repetitions when both "to xxx" and "xxxing" can be used indistincly; like in alternating both forms to avoid a long list of "to, to, to" or "ing, ing, ing." It just seems to me. If it is so, you could add that to a future video. Lol again.
    As a Spanish speaker, all of this looks as if I were trying to explain to you the use of the imperfect subjunctive, or the gendered nature of all things. A spoon is female (la cuchara), a fork is male (el tenedor), water is male (el agua), but if you put salt in it, its male gender doesn't change, but the adjective for "salty" (salada) has the feminine form... El agua de mar es salada (Sea water is salty).
    I guess now you know how I feel. Lol.
    I have written a few Star Trek stories in fanfiction.net under the pen name Alien From Afar. I am writing another one now, that's why I am trying to understand these subtleties. It took a long while to even put a name on them for researching purposes. I guess I'll have to check those stories *again* for this particular kind of grammar mistakes.
    Thanks a lot. I'll watch the other videos linked to this one... to see if I ever grasp the feeling of it all. ✌

      Wow! You explained your concerns in a great detail. And to answer, I have covered the most common verbs + verbals structures in my knowledge.
      If there's anything that I feel is left or can be covered in a seperate lesson, I'll surely do it.
      Thank you for the comment! Have a great day! ❤️

    13:24, But we can say "He was about to teach us"...can't we?
    "The film was about to start?
    Whether Infinitives in these sentences are prepositional object or not? kindly explain

    • @EnglishWithAshish
      @EnglishWithAshish  4 года назад +1

      Yes, I wouldn't say it's not. "About to start" is giving information about the subject and can be called a predicate adjective, but it talks about the time, so it seems like an adverb.
      "About to teach' is adverb phrase where about is a preposition and also an adverb, and 'to teach' is obviously an Infinitive.
      Hope it helps!

    9:48 my goal is to help people or we can say to help people is my goal
    It's correct but then the subject complement it will become the main subject
    If I'm wrong can you tell me why you use the same sentence structure when you give examples for infinitive and gerund work as the subject of the sentence
    Now we but to help in the first I don't know how it is still work as subject complement not become the main subject
    I'm hope you will understand what I mean....
    And please correct me

    Wow Bro, Really appreciate your vivid presentation of the lengthy contents in a brief case module 💐
    I am privileged to notice to your kind knowledge that the audio contents in few places have not been verified with textual slides. Especially , the (1)first slide shows the meaningless definition of Infinitives and Gerund but the audio sounds grammatically correct dissemination. And(2) It should have been in slide :Progressive form of the verb takes the infinitive infinitive form of the verb not Gerund . Hope your (typing error free ) valuable lessons are used by the learners as reference- screen shots .

    • @EnglishWithAshish
      @EnglishWithAshish  4 года назад

      Thank you for the kind words! I appreciate your feedback!
      The definition doesn't have anything that contradicts. Both gerunds and infinitives are verb forms that generally work as s noun.
      Feel free to correct me! :)

    dear ashish, tell me this sentence,i have considered the person for giving the information: will this sentence accept in english grammar rule? please tell me . in present perfect tense , will we use the gerunds phrase to form?

    • @EnglishWithAshish
      @EnglishWithAshish  2 года назад

      It's fine. If there's only a direct object (activity), we'll use a gerund.
      Don't consider going there.

    HI Ashis, I really want to ask you something. Can I use gerund after predicate nominative.. for example I know it is correct to say 1. the man working at Costco but 2. He is the man working at Costco I don´t know if it is correct because in the second sentence the man is a predicate nominative + and a gerund (working) this is correct????

    • @EnglishWithAshish
      @EnglishWithAshish  2 года назад

      Yes. And that's not a gerund. It's a present participle working as an adjective.
      (Working with you) is a pleasure. (Gerund)
      I know the man (working with you). Present participle

    In the example " He needs to get up early in the morning to reach office on time------to get up is infinitive fine. I think "to reach" is also a infinitive but it works as adverbs as it is the answer of "why he needs to get up" isn't it sir?

    Sir i hav 2 doubts.
    1. recommend and suggest k baad only gerund ayega or gerund and infinitive dono aata hai??
    2. 'Cant stand', 'cant bear', 'cant stand' ke baad only gerund ayega or gerund and infinitive dono aata h??
    there are different answers on different books . generally recommend, suggest and 'cant help' take gerund after them but in some videos and books it is said that they are followed by both gerund and infinitive .
    thats why i m confused a bit.

      Both can be used in different tenses and placement of objects.
      ✓ I recemmond taking this road.
      ✓ I recommended him to do this course.
      ✓ We suggest taking her help.
