Brilliant. I am an ESL teacher (of adult students) in Charlotte NC, USA. Thank you for the explanation! Fascinating...I had no idea! Just so you know, you are helping the teachers as much as the students!
I have gone through the EFL teachers training course and I have never recieved such a clear and revealing explanation on this topic . Thank you, you are the type of teacher that I enjoy listening to.
I’ve been writing and rewriting lists and lesson plans and you’ve just blown them all out of the water with the time/aspect approach. Top work Christian. My students and I would like to thank you 😁!
Hi Christian I'm preparing for the Cambridge Advanced Exam and I'm really grateful to you for every lesson and explanation about phrasal verbs and prepositions. I wanted to ask you if it's possible to have a special lesson on idioms! For me they are really tough! (If I ever get a chance to meet you, I'll offer you pizza, 'cause I' m italian and I bet you love it, you always put it in your sentences)
Goodness , I always tell my classmates that the lists are the worst way to do it , and I've deeply believed that there is another solution , then you came to show this methode and save me . Thanks a bundle Christian . Big respect from Morocco ❤😊
Woooooaaaaaoooo! You are the best teaching english. I have been struggling with this topic for around 5 years and once I came across this video I could definitely learn this topic from head to toes. Thank you so much!
Hello, teacher! Hello, guys! That's Agapi from Greece! Yesterday, I watched your class and I liked it! However, I didn't send you my comments... I would like to watch it another time.... (The reason is... obvious!!!) Today, It's the second time I watched this lesson... And...I have absolutely enjoyed it!!! What an excellent teaching, Cristiano!!! What a..."logical" Grammar Theory about this difficult issue!!! I didn't have any words to express my admiration!!! I agree absolutely with you, Cristiano!!! I had thought of the same things long before I watched you online!!! The Grammar Theory... of the relative lists... was... incomprehensible...to me!!! (It was almost... a..."foolish"...thing-theory!!!) I had never understood this!!! I was denying to accept it!!! Finally, I have understood!!! Thank you a lot, teacher!!! You have my appreciation!!! Have the best weekend! See you soon...on the Internet...
I just stumbled on this session after using the phrasal verbs and "get" sessions as useful teaching material. For the first time, another person has confirmed that there is a difference between these two forms and has explained clearly why and how this works. It also explains why the present participle and the gerund are identical in English, though Christian has not touched on that. Christian is a great inspiration; his lessons are a ideal supplement to any ESL teacher's collection of materials.
Christian, I feel bound to thank you for all the amazing work you keep on doing, you are really a Teacher as you do your hardest to inspire people through your passion. I wish you well, Man!
you know watching your video i've realized that understanding another language is about watching essentual things from another view of point. like realizing that we see the time and space around us different. realization of that gives me a very powerful motivation to lern every day. thank you for your work, you're the best teacher i've even seen in my life
I have found this explanation just now although it comes from the last decade. I would like to put as many thumbs up as possible because it had helped me to figure out the diference between the use of these two forms. Thanks a lot!
I think You should Write A book on English learning . Certainly You are One of the GREATEST teachers On You Tube who Can make English easier for Non Native learners. *Respect*
I've already learn about To or ING from another english lesson video, but your video explained more simple to use the verb, instead of memorising the situation regarding to memory, action, suggestion etc. Thanks!
This is such a great video. You explained the deep reason of how things work conceptually and it makes me understand clearly. Love to see more videos like this. Thanks!
Hi Christian. I learned to used the gerund and the infitive memorizing them and let me tell you, it worked like magic and kind of raised my eyebrow when you threw that piece of paper away. As a non native speaker it's a bit hard for me to understand this explanation. Having said that, I thank God for having you on TH-cam and learning in a totally different way.
Amazing with not enough words. Thank you, Christian, for your systematic approach. It is a real salvation for me. I've met the only problem - "suggest". It uses with gerund but looks like an "offer" for me. I guess I am too meticulous.
Finally, you made it! Hi, Christian, and thanks for this video. I know you've had some problem to make it, but i'm truly glad you did it because the topic is extremely important, you're absolutely right when you say that gerund and infinitive are very frustrating, i personally get confused all the time, so this video for me is a great gift, i'm going to watch it over and over till it sticks to my mind! Thanks a million, Christian, for all your help and just like you use to say; "I have the best teacher in the world!" Bye for now, and see you in class. :)
Well done Christian, I will need to listen to this video again to understand your explanation better but it sounded really logical. Thanks for your help.
Hello from France! I reconize one thing in the parcel called "calisson" Calissons are made in Aix en Provence (south France)Ingedients: grinded almond, jelly fuit of melon and perfumed with orange flower water.I lived in Aix en Provence for 30 years.Sorry for the mistakes I hope you can undertand what I wrote. See you soon Teacher!
I m teaching just this topic, of course with a list! But this vídeo is so revealing!!!! Thank you so much Christian!!!! You are " un capo" , as we Say in Buenos Aires 😘
I recognized as when we were in France my husband (I don't know from where - as he never used to learn French, - but he knew this pocket knife) so he bought one for himself and one for our son. I can't watch which numbers they had as they have loose it by today. It was very long time ago. Since I know this brand and I thought that you tube has videos about them. I really admire them as their form is beautiful or PERFECT.
You have small fan club growing in South West France Christian! Thanks so much for your excellent videos; they are informative, original, charming and fun. What more can one ask for?! Bonne continuation....
Thank you so much for your explanation. Ive trying to get sense from the language. And yours make the most sense. Is that okay if I use ur method on teaching my students? Of course with reference.
To memorise things and rules in English is many complicated. What I basically do is listening a lot and I believe doing it can improve my ability in grammar rules.
It's an amazing alternative lesson. Thanks for that. Can you give us more examples? For example the verb imagine that takes gerund, risk/avoid etc.. I need some more feedback...
Many thanks your explanation was really a thing to watch. Please make other elaborating videos on topics like "reported speech" and "if ... Would"conditionals.
Brilliant. I am an ESL teacher (of adult students) in Charlotte NC, USA. Thank you for the explanation! Fascinating...I had no idea! Just so you know, you are helping the teachers as much as the students!

I have gone through the EFL teachers training course and I have never recieved such a clear and revealing explanation on this topic . Thank you, you are the type of teacher that I enjoy listening to.
Christian, finally somebody gave me a meaning explanation of this topic! Thank you so much!
The best explanation about this subject that I have ever watched. Thank you!
My pleasure Welison, I'm glad you liked it!
I’ve been writing and rewriting lists and lesson plans and you’ve just blown them all out of the water with the time/aspect approach. Top work Christian. My students and I would like to thank you 😁!
