please look at below writing:
The Canadian Arctic is a vast, treeless polar desert that's covered with snow for most of the year. Venture into this terrain and you get some idea of the hardships facing anyone who calls this home.
In the italic sentences why does the writer take the verb in the first of sentence? and why wasn't it transformed to gerund or infinitive?
I have not found any grammatical structure align with this sentence.
Thank you and I appreciate any help or guidance about this subject.
Reference: IELTS Cambridge 6// Test 1// Reading 3
..., and we don't really have time to do our own research.
I don't recognize when I should gerund or infinitives.
For instance in these sentences:
1. My favorite thing is [ spend ] time with friends.
2. She goes to the gym five times a week [stay] in shape.
3. My main motivations to write this letter is [ extend] boundary of my knowledge and build a huge social network.
Thank you in advance.
Why in this sentences the auxiliarily verb come after the main verb?
"However, some of the alternatives described later are faster."
"I do belong here." Game of throne (S02E10)
Why is in this sentences use two verbs do+belong ? Even though, this sentence is a simple presence.
