    Is the TO in STOP TO truly the infinitive, or is it a preposition?
    Translating it into Spanish, you use a preposition here.

    Hi. I have a question and I appreciate it if you would answer it.
    In the following sentence, how can we ask a question that its answer is "trying to clean the place up"?
    In fact, I'm trying to check the sentence out grammatically and I want to know what part of speech does the gerund phrase"trying blabla" have?( it's an object, object complement, or what)
    Just before my in-laws arrived, I rushed around madly trying to clean the place up.

      @akbarumar1382 2 года назад +7

      If you dont mind, i would like to correct you.
      The right form is "Your explanation are amazing", because possessive adjectives is followed by a noun.
      And "Thanks for sharing with us..." Because it's a gerund, for more specific gerund after preposition.
      Hope it helps

      @@ginaldoschuina6558 If you have problems with listening skills or you don't even understand what you hear, so let me help you how to improve your ears to catch every single word especially when you watch movies. there's no magic to get this ability or skill in one day! but there's a particular way to improve it as much as possible. in fact you need to exercise your ears and also pay attention carefully. It may takes a long time to understand what's going on through movies or even in difficult conversations but If you practice over and over again, I promise you that you will see the results so soon. you're going to have better listening skills that you've never expected before. so I suggest you to check out our You tube channel "GoodWave" If would like to see the improvement quickly. each video contains some parts that took from movies and also has subtitles to help you understand well.
