Hello, there is a question "He likes to fishing". I don't understand its grammar. Why after "to" follows a gerund? . As far as I know it can happen only in sentences like "I am used to seeing spiders"

Twin Peaks: The Return and five stages of accepting the inevitable THIS TEXT IS SPOILER FREE, SO IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED TWIN PEAKS FEEL FREE TO READ THIS TEXT In September I had Covid, and the only symptom I had was fatigue. So I had to spend all my time in my bed. One day I got tired of watching Youtube videos and decided to watch the third season of Twin Peaks. Previously I had finished the second season and Fire walk with me, so I expected that the Return would have some similarities with them. I have never so wrong. The third season was hella different and it was in a way that I would have never expected. It was hard to watch. But I had Covid and was constantly so tired that I couldn't even get up from my bed to find another TV Show. So I had to watch the Return. It was inevitable and I had to accept that Twin Peaks. There were five stages of acceptence. The first one - denial. I denied everything. The plot, the new characters, the setting. I thought that everything was wrong with the new season. The the secing stage began - anger. I was angry at David Lynch. What had he done? He ruined one of me favorites shows! That was the way I thought. But I kept watching The third stage - Bargaining. I was okay with some parts of the show. I even began to enjoy it. But I still couldn't undertand the plot. So I went to Youtube and found a channel where two guys made a breakdown of each episode. It helped me a lot. And lead to the fourth stage. Depression. I begun to undertand what's going on (if you can undertand anything that was made by Lynch), but I couldn't agree with everything. I had an inner dialong about various plot twists and storylines and this lead to some kind of depression. But it ended. And the fifth stage began. Acceptance. I accepted The Return. With all it weirdness and crepyness. And I love it. It's a challanging Tv Show and I am happy that I finished this challange.

Brush my teeth of clean my teeth? Today I saw a phrase "he clean his teeth" in a English textbook (There was a picture of a boy who is brushing his teeth). Is it correct to say " to clean his teeth"? I have never seen "clean" in that context and I always use "brush my teeth"

My thoughts on TV-show "Queen's Gambit" So, today I finished the last episode. And I have something I want to share. The first episode was messy. I couldn't understood what's going on, so I had to stop watching after 15 minutes. I tried to watch it for the second time the next day from the very beginning. And it was muuuch easier. I believe that I understood everything. And I kind of liked the first episode. But not the second and the third one. They were bad. There were no characters to relate to, no interesting plot twist or any development in the characters. I really wanted to stop watching the TV show. But I have covid and I spend all my time in my bed, so I have nothing to do except watching movies and YouTube. So I gave "Queens Gambit" a second shot. I watched the forth episode. And it was really good! I didn't expect that but all the deficiencies that I mentioned above wanished. So I watched the next episodes in a one run. It was a really good series. Not the best, but pretty decent. But I excepted more. I knew that "Queens Gambit" was very popular when it came out in 2020, so my expectations were very high. I wish they weren't. Maybe I would like this TV better. What's your thoughts on "Queens Gambit"? I would like to discuss about it! Thanks for reading!
