- Can you give more context? Maybe a sentence before those sentences? The first one is incorrect, as it is. You can't beam in on anyone. The second one is also incorrect, you wouldn't say "I'd pulled" it's incorrect grammar. If you give more context I can help you with the meaning.0 votedJanuary 21, 20161
- It depends on the sentence..There isn't really a way to know how and when to use them. Although, gerund's sound more natural, using an infinitive can *sometimes* make you sound... "hoity".. They mean the same thing. Here are some examples: Gerund- Reading is my favorite hobby Infinitive- To read is my favorite hobby The gerund sounds 100% more natural Gerund- I like eating Infinitive- I like to eat Both of these sound completely natural! Some times it's only acceptable to use one or the other. Example: I want to eat -infinitive. I want to eating- gerund. This is 100% incorrect. do not say this. If you're using "want" then you'll use an infinitive! This also goes for "need" as another example. Check out these two links, they list verbs that require a gerund and verbs that require infinitives :) http://www.englishpage.com/gerunds/gerund_list.htm http://www.englishpage.com/gerunds/infinitive_list.htm0 votedJanuary 21, 20160
Orange and chocolate cake
My husband this evening said: "I would like to eat a chocolate and orange cake!" "ok, it'a (it's) great idea! The kitchen is yours! I'm tired now - I've just finished to wash dishes (I've just finished washing the dishes)...". Two minutes later he was already at work: 3 eggs, some sunflower oil, 200 gr of flour, sugar (but less than recipe says), chocolate, orange juice, baking powder, some milk.
He mixed sugar, eggs, flour, oil, baking powder. Than (then) he divided "pasta" (how can I say it in english??) (dough) into two parts: in the first added chocolate powder and some milk, in the other one orange juice.
At the end he mixed them into a "stampo" (another word I don't know how to translate in the right way!) (a pan) and put it into a hot oven.
Now we are waiting the thirty minutes cake needs to cook, so I thought to use this time making english practice with Italki!0 votedJanuary 20, 20162
