95. 4:13we learned about gerunds and infinitives
96. 4:15in English
97. 4:16[Music]
98. 4:17very good what are gerunds and
99. 4:19infinitives with examples
100. 4:22a gerund is a verb that ends in ing and
101. 4:25is used as a noun walking traveling
102. 4:28voting
103. 4:30an infinitive is the base form of a verb
104. 4:32preceded by two such as to walk to
105. 4:36travel to vote
106. 4:38gerunds and infinitives can be used as
107. 4:41the subject the complement or the object
108. 4:43of a sentence
109. 4:45exactly
110. 4:47is there a case in which verbs are
111. 4:49followed by a two infinitive or Ing and
112. 4:53the difference in meaning is often small
113. 4:55eight like love and prefer can be
114. 4:59followed either by ing or a too
115. 5:02infinitive

153. 6:48Mr Brad everyone seems to have left what
154. 6:52must we do now
155. 6:54God we're gonna be locked up here
156. 6:57we don't even have a phone to contact
157. 6:59other people
158. 7:01calm down everyone we will find a way
159. 7:03out
160. 7:04but The English Center will reopen on
161. 7:06Monday does that mean we'll be locked up
162. 7:08here for three days
163. 7:09[Music]
164. 7:10surely my mother would be extremely
165. 7:12worried
166. 7:14listen listen everyone we need to be
167. 7:17calm
168. 7:18we have to think of a way out
169. 7:21what should we do now how to get out of
170. 7:23a locked room
171. 7:25should we break the door
172. 7:28but we have nothing to break the door
173. 7:31you're right
174. 7:33or maybe we jump from the window
175. 7:36what are you crazy do you know what
176. 7:38floor we are on
177. 7:40fourth floor so what
178. 7:43jumping off is dangerous falling from a
179. 7:46four-story window can cause death or
180. 7:48Serious injury or break your leg
181. 7:50it's hard to find a way out
182. 7:53yeah there is no other way
183. 7:56I don't want to be locked up here we
184. 7:58will starve
185. 8:00no we have food and drink remember
186. 8:03Jasmine and Duke's presents
187. 8:05we have me a box of apple juice owned a
188. 8:08box of a canned foods oh that's right I
189. 8:12remember very lucky indeed
190. 8:15at least we'll have enough food until
191. 8:17Monday
192. 8:18all right in the meantime do you guys
193. 8:22want to play a game
194. 8:24sure sure I love playing games me too
195. 8:28what are we going to play
196. 8:31word matching game
197. 8:33can you explain in more detail
198. 8:36okay this is a game to review old
199. 8:38lessons for example if I said avoid you
200. 8:42would have to answer verb ing or to verb
201. 8:47and then give an example do you guys
202. 8:49understand the game
203. 8:51okay
204. 8:53the first word is enjoy
205. 8:56enjoy is followed by verb ing and my
206. 9:01example is
207. 9:02I always enjoy cooking
208. 9:05well done all right the next word is
209. 9:08promise
210. 9:10the verb is followed by an infinitive I
211. 9:13promise to do my homework
212. 9:15right well another word is try
213. 9:20can be followed by an infinitive form
214. 9:23no try followed by verb ing
215. 9:27well both are correct
216. 9:30why Mr Broad
217. 9:32is a special verb in English because it
218. 9:35can be followed with either a gerund or
219. 9:38infinitive however the meaning changes
220. 9:41the meaning changes
221. 9:44yes let's see two examples I tried
222. 9:47calling her but the line was busy and I
223. 9:49tried to call her but the line was busy
224. 9:52I tried calling means he thought phoning
225. 9:55might be the way to do it
226. 9:56I tried to call means he made an effort
227. 10:00well so the difference is very small
228. 10:04try doing is experimenting with doing
229. 10:07try to do is about making an effort
230. 10:11oh I get it
231. 10:14now who wants to sing a song
