What is the difference between stop to do and stop doing?
What is the difference between remember to do and rebuilder doing?
What is the difference between forget to do and forget doing?
These questions have puzzled countless students, making students learn to forget, forget and learn, and then forget... After countless setbacks, some students memorized by rote, and some simply lay flat if they still couldn't remember...
If you understand the core difference between to do and doing, then you can do it without rote, and you can do it.
To do means 'to do something', since it is to be done, it means that it has not been done, that is, if the thing has not been done, then use to do.
For example: Plan to do something, do it or do it? Since it is a plan, the instructions have not been done, then it is to do, so plan to do something plan to do sth.
And Doing said it had been done. For example, to do something is finish doing sth.
It's that simple
So back to answer those few questions:
If this hasn't been done yet, use to do. So
stop to do sth. To understand stop first, it means to stop what you are doing, and then to do mean to do something else. So stop to do sth. is to stop what you're doing and do something else. Let's stop to have a rest, for example, means to stop and start to have a rest.
Remember to do sth.
Forget to do sth. Commonly used for negation, such as reminding someone not to forget to do something, don't forget to do sth.
If it has already been done, then
Stop what you're doing and use stop doing sth. For example, stop singing is not to sing stop talking is not to say.
Remember doing something, which is rebuilder doing sth.
Forgot to do something, which is forget doing sth.
Here are a few exercises to practice and consolidate:
1. ---There goes the bell．
---It's time for class. Let's stop_________.
A. talk B. to talk C．talking D．not talk
2. Remember the lights when you leave the room.
A. turning off B. turn off C. turned off D. to turn off
parse:
Question 1: Answer C. There goes the bell class bell rings. It's time for class, then it's time to stop talking, which means stopping what you've just done, so use doing. If you choose to talk, then the meaning is reversed Stop to talk means don't do anything now, start talking. So let's be clear, right?
Question 2: Answer D. Because the second half of the sentence says when you leave the room, you have to remember to turn off the lights, obviously not turned off yet, and the things that have not been done are used to do, so it is remember to turn off the light. By the way, turn off the lights can not use close, close is generally to close the door and close the window and the like, such as close the door, close the window and so on.
