Basic English Grammar: Giving reasons with infinitives

HTML-код
  • Опубликовано: 26 июл 2024
  • Simple English grammar lesson: An infinitive is when you have “to” plus a base verb. For example: “to make”, “to eat”, and “to be” are all infinitives. In this video, you will learn how to use infinitives when answering questions about why someone does something. For example, if someone asks, “Why are you going to the store?” you might reply, “To buy food.” Notice that we use the infinitive “to buy” to answer the question “why”. Watch the video to learn this very simple but effective formula to give a reason for something. I will also teach you about the expression “in order to”, which is also a very effective way to give a reason for something. I will show you how and when to use it, so you will always know how to answer basic questions in English. Then, test your understanding of the lesson by taking the quiz at www.engvid.com/basic-english-...

    Is it informal if I say "I walked quietly in order to not wake you"? Or is it just the wrong way to say it? So the best way is "not to wake you"

      1. In order to + Base Verb
      2. In order not to + Base Verb
      Just keep " To and Base verb " together.

    I'm studying the English grammar at the moment because I want to become like a native English speaker by the end of this year!

    I study English so that I can speak and write better than ever before.🙂 These linking words are very useful. Such as in order to, so that, so as to, despite, despite the fact that, in spite of, and so on :) It really helps to improve writing skills, although it is more formal and more commonly used in written English but that doesn't change the fact that it is necessary :)
