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. Let’s make this your best episode yet!

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

En la antigua Tailandia, una sociedad profundamente jerárquica, los elefantes blancos eran sagrados y pertenecían al rey. Regalar uno a un noble era un gran honor, pero también una forma de control social. Estos animales, al no trabajar, suponían un gran coste, impidiendo a quien los recibía ascender en la jerarquía. Así, el elefante blanco, símbolo de estatus, reforzaba el orden social. Esta metáfora cultural contrasta con la visión occidental del "elefante blanco" como algo inútil y costoso. En este podcast, exploramos el profundo significado jerárquico de esta figura y su relevancia en la cultura tailandesa, incluso hoy. Descubre cómo esta metáfora, con su carga jerárquica, nos ayuda a entender las dinámicas interculturales.

If you are job hunting, a must nowadays is a profile on the world’s most popular professional networking site LinkedIn.

LinkedIn is not like any other social media, it is not a place to share photos of your latest holiday, your pets or your frolics with your friends about town. LinkedIn is about demonstrating your professionalism to your work colleagues, your boss and even your potential new employers.

Keep your LinkedIn profile up to date with all of your achievements from your work experience, update your certificates and education when you take a new training course, create connections and most importantly get endorsed.

Since you are reading this, I presume you re a student of the English language and that learning and improving your English language skills is probably important to you in your career and promotional prospects.

So, ask your teacher to give you an endorsement on LinkedIn to add to your profile
