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 Feel free to comment your answers below—I’ll be checking and providing feedback to help you improve.
