向 vs 对 what's the difference between those two, when it's better to use 向， 对？ for example: 别人对我们好，帮助我们，我们应该记得说什么？ 我们记住向别人说谢谢。 many thanks for your answersaand this one 为, is it the same? 我们只要想一想，就会想起别人其实为我们做过很多事.

不过 vs 可是 don't quite understand when you use 不过 and 可是 in the meaning of "but". would be great if you give me more examples of use of those words in some different meanings. and if there are more words with that meaning, tell me , please. many thanks for your help

when you say like/hate/love...+verb+ing, and when you use like...+to+infinitive. what's the difference: i like swimming - i like to swim. i like going to the park in the morning - i like to go to the park in the morning. etc is there any difference at all, when it is preferable to use this or that way to express the idea. and will you do me a favour and give more examples when you say like/hate/love...+verb+ing, and when you use like...+to+infinitive. hope to hear the answers from native speakers many thanksthanks for answering Nicholas. however i'm still a bit puzzeled. you see when i read russian books for studying english they teach to use like + to+infinitive, but english books insist on using gerund. so how is it more natural to speak
