Is it TO or ING? - Learn English Grammar

Look you need to stop talking

Wait, you need to stop to talk. I don't what is it is that ing or [to-infinitive]? I hate English it's weird

There are a few verbs which if you put to infinitive or ing verbs

after this verb the meaning changes let's begin with a verb [Tri]

[Tri] can have more than one meaning in this example. He wants to give a suggestion. Oh

Maybe it's your first time to try sushi. It's your first time

It's a test this meaning requires an ing ending

So you should try [eating] sushi Sushi is great

So it doesn't matter if it's future present past whatever if you have that verb with the meaning of a suggestion

Your first time the next verb should have an ing ending she could say yeah

I tried eating sushi it was great, but another meaning of try is when something's difficult

it's a challenge, and you want to say ah

It's a difficult challenge, but I tried for example in the restaurant

They're sitting down [they're] eating and she has their what are these called the things you eat with their called

Chopsticks

she

Cannot use the chopsticks because it's too difficult in this case. She's going to say this

I'm trying to eat it, but I can't use chopsticks. [it] doesn't matter which tense the ending of this verb

Depends on what the meaning of this verb is so in summary try

within that means a suggestion

encouragement do it for the first time

Try with two infinitives. That's when something's difficult or a challenge also note that you could say

You should try and use them in this case

We didn't use an ink or a to infinitive

But this is how we talk

You should try and use them try and do it try and go it's a very common way of saying yes, it's difficult

but don't worry, just just try just try try and

verb so to practice that tell me in the comments, which food should I try

Also for you this year. [what] are you going to try to do? What is a challenge for you for example?

Are you going to try to pass the ielts exam? Are you going to try to save up to travel?

The next [verb] is stopped in this case. They're talking and he is talking

constantly and he

[doesn't] stop just blah blah blah blah blah boring things boring stories

And my job women murmur and she is thinking oh my God stop with this

when she wants to say stop this action ah

He can't stop. How does that verb finish? What do you think?

Talking or to talk

Ing

Stop talking

Stop this

Action maybe you want to stop smoking?

Stop drinking. So when do you use it with to infinitive?

sometimes when you're walking down the street and someone tries to get your attention [a]

Stop um can I ask you a question can I ask you something and you want to say no? I'm sorry talk no time

In this case he wants to say I'm sorry. I can't stop

To talk because look there's something missing here

I can't stop which action I can't stop

walking in

Order to talk I can't stop this action to start this action

So that's how he says [it]. I can't stop to talk. Sorry. I can't stop to talk

the next word is

remember

He has a memory of his cat when he was young little baby

Playing with his cat so in this case when we talk about a memory

Then we use which form [IMg] or to-infinitive. What do you think?

It's playing with Ing. I remember playing with my cat

when you use the ing form

[after] remember that's a memory a memory that you have again. It doesn't matter if it's past present or future

That verb always depends on the meaning of this verb, so if it's a memory

Ing, what about to infinitive then when do I use to infinitive?

When it's not a memory, but it's something you have to do an obligation

She wants to say you must remember, please please buy some milk she will say remember

To buy remember to infinitive, it's something you have to do it's an obligation

Remember to do it

Remember to buy it remember to go remember to call your parents

You remember to call your parents [tell] them you love them

when he comes back from the shop and

No, milk. He didn't remember. It doesn't matter about the time this one is a past. I didn't remember

To buy the milk [I] didn't remember to buy the milk the short version [if] it's a memory

Remember Ing, if it's something you have to do it's a chore then to infinitive

Remembering of course that it doesn't matter which time you use present past

Doesn't matter

What's the opposite of remember?

forget

Let's say two people meet and they fall Madly in love on the first meeting

He wants to say I will never forget this moment this memory in this case

You already know the rule with remember?

It's exactly the same for forget that next verb it's a memory so he's going to say I'll never forget

meeting you

So when do we use to infinitive?

So you already know it's not [a] memory [of] feeding the cats

I must feed the cat, but I forgot it was an obligation a chore. He has to do it. I forgot

To feed oh, no, I forgot to feed the cat so the short version again forget with ing

That's a memory that you forgot

Forget with [to-infinitive] that is an obligation [a] chore something you have to do which

You forgot and of course there is like ing and like 2 plus infinitive
