Welcome to the 10th episode of The Grammarian Podcast! In this milestone episode, we’re tackling a common issue many English learners face: the usage of "to" with verbs. Understanding when to use "to" and when to leave it out is crucial for sounding more natural and grammatically correct in English.

We’ll dive into:
- When to use "to" with verbs (after certain verbs, adjectives, and to show purpose)
- When NOT to use "to" (modal verbs, causative verbs, and verbs of perception)
- Common mistakes and how to avoid them
- Practical tips and exercises to help you put your knowledge into practice

Common mistakes made by English Language Learners Part 6:  When and When Not to Use "To" with Verbs

I invite you to check out 3 more Russian tongue twisters! 
Give it a shot and try repeating after me. I'll read each one twice: first slowly, and then closer to normal speed.

мАма мЫла мИлу мЫлом, мИла мЫло не любИла. (м,л) 

Ехал грЕка чЕрез рЕку, вИдит грЕка – в рекЕ рак. сУнул грЕка рУку в рЕку, рак за рУку грЕку – цап! (р,к)

былА у фролА, фролУ на лАвра навралА, пойдУ к лаврУ, на фролА лаврУ наврУ. (ф,л,в)

These tongue twisters focus on various Russian sounds. Try to articulate them as clearly as possible. Let's focus on accuracy rather than speed. Good luck!

Kev's English Podcast: Episode 30: 15 Must-Watch Films from John Wayne to Kubrick – Movie Chat with Kevin

hello 你好，欢迎你来到有趣的中文，我是薇老师，今天呢，我们将给大家讲一个特别的故事，来一起练习中文听力。
我会在我的播客当中慢速的为你读中文，你可以跟随我的节奏一起来练练习听力。
也可以在播课结束后查看文稿。好了，我们现在开始了。
今天我要讲的故事是我和松鼠的365天。
在开始之前我想问你一个问题。
你以前有帮助过小动物吗？
那么今天我们一起来听这个非常有意思的故事，我和松鼠的365天我们先来一起读这个词，松鼠songshu。
请你跟着我读松鼠songshu。
记住这个词，它就是我们今天故事的主角，开始听故事之前请你。
再回忆一下我们刚才说到的词。松鼠。好的，我们现在开始。
三年前的秋天我在公园里跑步，那是一个，早上我跑着跑着。
发现了一只受伤的小松鼠，他的后腿受了伤，正躲在枫叶的堆里。
红红的枫叶配上小松鼠棕灰色的毛非常的好看，但是他受伤了。
只能慢慢的动在中国松鼠可是有特别意义的，他经常。
象征着储存好运，因为松鼠很喜欢储藏食物，我看到小松鼠太可怜了。
就决定先照顾他。还帮他取了一个名字。叫松子。
下面我来给大家讲一讲照顾松子的经过，刚开始的一周。
我必须和松子建立信任，我给他准备了一个小木箱，当他的家还准备了核桃和清水。
这个时候的松子胆子非常小，白天一直躲在角落里，晚上才偷偷出来吃东西。
看我的时候眼神里都是紧张。
过了两个月，松子的伤好了，变得很活泼，和我有好多好玩的互动。
他特别喜欢搬运坚果，常常把核桃推到书架顶上，还爱爬来爬去，我家的窗帘都被它当成了游乐场。
每次他都找我来要苹果。我会把苹果切成片，喂给他。
他轻轻地碰我的手指。可爱极了。
现在各位，老师想问问大家，在你的国家，你们经常见到的野生动物有哪些？
人们一般是怎么样对待他们的呢？
我知道在英国，人们要是遇到了刺猬，会把刺猬送到安全的地方。
在澳大利亚，人们看到袋鼠会站在远处好好的看他。
大家也会在心里想想自己国家的情况。
时间过得很快，春天到了，松子有了一些变化，他老是望着窗外的树。
吃的也越来越少。
在中国，我们有句老话。
爱鸟不笼中养--就是说你如果真的喜欢小鸟，就不要把它关在笼子里。
对松子也是一样，所以我就带着他回到了相遇的公园，把他放走了。松子站在树枝上停了几秒钟，还回头看了我一眼。
然后一下就跳到树林里不见了。
故事讲完了，我们来复习一下今天学到的内容，今天我们学到了几个很有用的动词。
搬运大家还记得是什么意思吗？我们还学到了一些文化知识，知道对中国人来说，松鼠象征着储存好运，还有我们刚才讲到的中国人的。
俗语爱鸟不笼中养，最后老师想和大家讨论一下，人类应该怎么和野生动物相处呢？
大家可以在心里想一想，其实每一个小动物都有自己的生活，我们喜欢他的话。
有时候保持一点距离。尊重他们。就是对他们最好的爱护了。
今天的播客就快结束了，下期我们会讲一讲更有趣的话题。
你可以继续来回放我的博客，帮你练习听力，如果你喜欢我的播客，也请你来我的课程和我继续讨论有关动物的话题有关中国文化的话题。
我们可以一起学习中文，谢谢你关注我，谢谢你喜欢我和我的播客，我们下次再见！
