#478 In fact, it's the only thing here which is remarkable. Manchester is an enormous industrial city and it's not very pretty as Yorkshire for example. What is characteristic of Manchester is that this city is full of students so the city has adapted to that lifestyle in terms of shoppings, parties and all that stuff. Bands like The Smiths, Chemical Brothers, Joy Division, Stone Roses, Oasis are from here so you can find an enormous variety in the night-life, you can go to a rock pub, indie disco, electro, DnB,... there are plenty of them!
#479 dancing, because is an action who is still happening in the present, so you should use present continuous
#481 It's not because it's an action that is still happening in the present (the action is a fact, not something that is happening, that is why the main verb is written in a simple present tense), the verb is "to enjoy", "dancing" would be the object of the action.
In english when a verb is the object we can write it either in the gerund form or in the infinitive form. There are several rules, not all of them very precise, about when to use either infinitive or gerund.
The most reliable are the list of verbs followed by a gerund or by an infinitive, "enjoy" is always followed by a gerund.
Some of them can be followed either by a gerund or an infinitive, but the meaning changes. An example would be "to forget".
"I forgot doing something", would mean that you forgot doing an action that you actually did, but you don't keep the memory of doing it, while "I forgot to do something" would mean that you didn't do an action that you had to do.
I've been trying to teach this to one of my students during the last two weeks, it can become one of the biggest headaches of learning English language
#450 Yesterday i saw the web you put and i think is quite interesting. I've registered myself and i'd like to find someone to practise with.
#473 I think your phrase is wrong: everybody speaks as well as he knows. I think you must put "well" instead "good" because you need an adverb, and "good" is an adjective, not an adverb.
#483 If you want to practice English (or some other languages), I think that the best webpage around there is www.busuu.com
It has several exercises, you can chat with natives... And most of it for free (there are some premium features, but they are not essential.)
#484 Yes, I know that web, and i am registered, but i don't need any exercises to practise (i have enough with the task i do at the University), i only need someone to speak with and to have some coversations. I prefer the other web because is full of discussions, and gives me the chance of making a penpal.
#485 I hope so .
#486 That's true, guys are always looking for female good looking partners, it's such a linguistic badoo xD, And if you are male and ask to other guys for exchanging language, they don't usually reply. Flirting is behind everything
acording to wordreference
Recuerda que, acompañado de gerundio, to forget significa olvidar algo ocurrido en el pasado: I will never forget meeting the King. Nunca olvidaré el momento en que conocí al Rey. Sin embargo, con un infinitivo con to significa olvidarse de hacer algo: I mustn't forget to post this letter. No debo olvidarme de echar esta carta al correo.
then "i forgot to do that" would mean that you never did it, and "i forgot doing that" means that you don't remember have done that? (if so, it doesn't mean that you actually did that, just that you dont remember doing it even if you did or you didn`t)?
#489 yeah I think you are right, if you forget doing anything, it doesn't matter you actually did it. I understand it that way :\
#484 Thanks for the website, I'll recommend it. I hope there's no referral link because I didn't see neither clicked it
#489 Well, I guess it could be that you didn't do it and don't remember doing it, of course, but... The sentence wouldn't have a lot of sense then... :\ You wouldn't say that you forgot meeting the King if you never met the King :p
#494 I think either is for affirmative sentences and neither is for negative ones.
For example:
Also you can use either with "or" but you cant with neither. Instead you use "nor"
Neither my mum nor my father were there.
#495 but what if you are talking to someone and he says: you meet the king in the past year!
you'll say "I forgot meeting him"
#486
Yes but the parner wants to play with the cams..
In Sharedtalk there is a chat room, and you can have private conversations. I prefer the chat room.
#499 Being a woman is indeed a risky business in situations where the use of cams is involved :/. I honestly feel sorry for you.
