    So, what's the difference between 'stop buying' and 'stop to buy'? Why not also check out this other video with people talking about shopping? th-cam.com/video/X5qiBigtc8w/w-d-xo.html

      Stop buying you completelt stop and stop to but means you stop whatever you are doing and go buy something and then continue with whta you were doing before. :-)

    I forgot watching Sian's great lesson for words that changes its meaning depending on which one is followed gerund or infinitive
    even it's less than one minutes after I watched it.
    but hopefully
    I don't forget to watch Sian's lesson
    again and again
    even though
    I'll forget watching it again.

    Music in this video is brilliant! :) Sian is awesome :) however, I couldn't get the difference for some examples

    • @raymondmiller9798
      @raymondmiller9798 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      In this example stop takes the gerund as an object, so it answers the questions *What* stops?
      The to-infinitive in this case is an adverb of purpose, (in order) to buy a coffee. It answers the question *Why* did you stop it?

    • @bbclearningenglish
      @bbclearningenglish  5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      An excellent question! It could be either! It might mean 'at this time' or 'in general'. Only the context will help. For example:
      John was being noisy but I made a face at him and he stopped singing. (At that moment)
      Sarah was tired of being in a band. She announced one day that she would stop singing. (in life - as a career)
      And there will be many other examples. Context is everything!

    Can anyone help here? In British English, is that ok to say "go to get a book." or "go get a book"? Which one is right or both of them are ok? Many thanks!

    • @bbclearningenglish
      @bbclearningenglish  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The correct form is "go to get a book". This is what we would use in writing and the form which is grammatically correct. However, in spoken English and in informal situations, people may say "go get a book". 👍

    Is there a change in meaning when using infinitives/gerunds?
    What is a gerund: -ing or to infinitive?
    Which verbs are given as examples?
