The answers may surprise you...

That's because gerunds and infinitives (or in other words: '-ing' and 'to' verbs) can be extremely confusing, even for advanced English learners and native speakers.

In fact, after 6 years working with adult English learners, this is the single biggest mistake I hear from my high level students.

That's why I've built this course. I want to finally, once an for all, clear up all the questions I've been asked over the years about gerunds and infinitives.

Questions such as:

• What is a gerund?

• What is an infinitive?

• Why does English have two forms when many languages have only one?

• How do I know to use the '-ing' form or the 'to' form?

• Are there any tricks to using gerunds and infinitives correctly?

• Is it 'stop smoking' or 'stop to smoke'?

• Should I say "I like swimming" or "I like to swim"?

And many, many more.

If you have ever asked any of these questions, either to a teacher or silently to yourself, then this course is GUARANTEED to clear them up.

How does it work?

This course is broken down into 8 videos, each looking at gerunds and infinitives in a different way.

Unit 1: Gerund and Infinitive Introduction - In this unit, you'll learn the basics of the gerund and infinitive. After the first three lessons, you'll be ready to use these forms correctly in 95% of cases.

Unit 2: Deciding which form to use - Here, we will look at cases where you can use BOTH the gerund and infinitive, and see how it does or does not change the meaning of the sentence.

Unit 3: Advanced Gerunds and Infinitives - Unfortunately, it can get more complicated. But the good news is that I've taken the time to break down all the complexities into simple lessons. At the end of this unit, you'll be able to use gerunds and infinitives in any situation.

Unit 4: Review - A little review goes a long way. In the final unit, we will go back over everything we've learned so you can walk away knowing you have absorbed everything.

Check out a few short comments from some of my students:

"I never thought I like English grammar, but I've never had a teacher with as much passion for it as this teacher. The enthusiasm makes me want to continue with the course." - Stavi (Greece)

“I've never seen it explained quite like this. Teachers have tried to explain gerunds to me, but I never felt like they understood it themselves. Now, I really get it.” – Leo (Russia)
