Tnk u sir, to your beneficial guide
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! ❤️

Save nature 🌿 save Jungle 🌳🙏
Wonderful work. Great going.
Thank you, Sharath! 😊
Excellent presentation Ashish!
Thank you, kaka! 🌸
Dear ashish ,I had one more doubt on that .i saw him playing on the beach is a present participle ( for perception use ) ,in gerunds : I stopped him talking .
Now tell me these two differences....
Or both are same and please give me a clarity asap..
Thanks from morocco♡
Love from India! ❤️
difference between gerund & present participle
Thank you so much for this amazing lesson 🌹
Glad you liked it, Asad! ❤️
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 .
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! :)
Thanks 😊 from algeria 🇩🇿 🇮🇳
You're welcome! Much love! ❤️

Your voice is awesome..
Thank you! ;)
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
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 He is the man working at Costco
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
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!

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????
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
Please make a video on - Different types ( Forms ) of Gerunds in detail and please do discuss whether there is any difference between Simple Gerund and Perfect Gerund.... probably I was taught that Simple and Perfect Gerund are the same thing in terms of use.... like - He denied DOING it & He denied HAVING DONE it.....Do u think that Simple and Perfect Gerund are the same in usages ??? Please discuss it in the video. ************
That's the next lesson!
I'll make it a detailed lesson, don't worry!
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?
It's fine. If there's only a direct object (activity), we'll use a gerund.
Don't consider going there.
@@EnglishWithAshish yes I agree that....just for more clarification
I hope to have seen you
I hope to see you!
Me watching tv or mine watching tv or i watching tv, what is the correct answer ? What watching is here? Action verb or gerund ?
Would you mind giving me an example? Write a complete sentence using it.
Hi! Please,can you make the font become bigger?
Hey!
The font can't be changed now; the video is already uploaded. Apologies for any inconvenience caused!
Bro , when will we get your next video ????
Today.
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?
Yes. An infinitive can function as an adverb too.
@@EnglishWithAshish Thank you for clearing the doubt.
🌸
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.
✓ We suggested to take her help.
✓ We suggest her to read this book.
Can't stand & bear take GERUNDS.
@@EnglishWithAshish but sir in this 👆 video u mentioned that gerund is used always after suggest and recommend .
and cant bear/ stand can take both gerund or infinitive.
Sir you said in headings: verbs that are followed by an infinitive or a noun/pronoun +an infintive but in the given example you didn't include an infintive on last
The example which are given by you
1:some of you asked me to make a lesson in different forms of gerund
2 people always expect you to an infintive in only used once
What are you referring to?
@@EnglishWithAshish I am saying of no apny heading nai structure batya hai wo example mai follow no ho raha jo apny examples di hain you said in " verbs that are followed by infintive +noun/pronoun+ infintive but in it example second infintive is missing
Ex
people always expect you to win
Some of you asked me to make a lesson in gerund.
In both example only once time infintive is used. Hope you clear this .
Both these sentences use the same pattern.
Being an Indian I m proud of my country.. Plz tell being Kya h yaha per
Being an Indian, I'm proud of my country.
Ek bhartiya hote hue mujhe apne desh pe garv hai.
Maine translate nahi pucha.. Being yaha gerund Ho sakta h kya y pucha h
Sry. Being an Indian I m proud of my self.. Yaha gerund Ho sakta h kya being
Be polite when you ask a question! And I'm going to avoid answering it now.
If I hurt you.. I'm sry Sir... I didn't intend to do so..
I regret to say ..Is this a sentence right or wrong ?
It's incomplete. Add the object of the verb SAY.
You haven't uploaded video today ?
Still working on it, brother. Will be done in an hour.
@@EnglishWithAshish okkkk , bro....& Happy new year.
It is not zerund but gerund
Yes, sir. I worked on it.
