Ep. 7: Infinitive vs Gerund

Today, I’d like to talk about infinitive and gerund.

Now, we are at the gate.
He said, “I forgot to lock the door!”
Then he rushed to entrance.
(He is thinking the door is not locked at this moment, right?)
After a while he came back and said
“I forgot locking the door.”
It means door was locked when he backed entrance. So he forgot that he locked the door.

“I forgot to lock the door.”
“I forgot locking the door.”

Infinitive and gerund.
I’m not sure whether my understanding is correct or not.
Is gerund natural for that sentence?


Then… how about this?
Kingdom Baa vs Kingdom Moo.
After settlements were agreed and the paper was on the table, just have done the signature of both leaders.

Kingdom Baa’s leader said
1. Omg!! I forgot to stop/pause the atomic bomb button!

In this case, still continuing counting down?

2. Omg! I forgot stoping/pausing the atomic bomb button.

What about this case?
Leader asked subordinate to stop the bomb and he whispered “Boss, boss, you already stopped it.”
Leader said “oh! Did I?” And he continued the second sentence, didn’t he?

My understanding is first one is dangerous situation.
Second one is like kingdom moo might say “oh, no, you scared me!!” And hahaha situation.

Or… worst case is both are still dangerous as continuing counting down?



<<<~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~>>>>
It is easy to distinguish both sentences in Japanese.

1. あ!爆弾を止めるのを忘れた😱
2. あ!爆弾を止めたのを忘れた😜

1止めるis not past. Action haven’t finished yet at this moment. Still continuing counting down.
2止めたis past tense. Action have done already so no worries about 爆弾.

Ep. 7: Infinitive vs Gerund

Today, I’d like to talk about infinitives and gerunds.

Now, we are at thea gate.

He(Describe the individual) said, “I forgot to lock the door!”

Who is he? When you use a pronoun for a person not yet introduced, it makes it unclear who you are referring to. Always describe the person before using a third-person pronoun. The reason why "we" is okay is because it is the first-person plural. You know who the first-person is (you), so no need to describe the other people described by "we." But since it switches to third-person (he), you need to describe that individual first.

Infinitive here is good!

Then he rushed to the entrance.

Now, "he" is okay to use here because you have described the individual in the previous sentence.

I'm not sure if this was meant to be an infinitive, but infinitive would need "to" to be before "rush."
"He then went to rush the entrance."

(He is thinkingthinks that the door ismay not be locked at this moment, right? .)

The "right" at the end makes the sentence a bit odd. It's more of a converstional thing to add a "right" at the end like this. For example: "I swear the professor said the midterm would be tomorrow, right?" But here, that wouldn't really fit the tone, so I used "may not" to show that doubt that "right" produces.

Gerunds are using "-ing" verbs as nouns. Right now, you are using "think" in the "-ing" form as the present tense and not as a gerund. I can't figure out a natural way to write this sentence using the gerund, but here's my best shot: "His thinking is that the door may not have been locked at this moment."

After a while, he came back and said,

“I forgot about locking the door.”

Gerund usage is good here!

ItThis means that the door was locked when hewent back to thed entrance.

So he forgot that he locked the door.

“I forgot to lock the door.”

“I forgot about locking the door.”

I’m not sure whether or not my understanding is correct or not.

Original is okay. I think this version sounds a bit more natural.

Is the gerund natural forin that sentence?

After the settlements were agreed and the paper was on the table, just have dupon, both leaders sign the document one the signature of both leaderstable.

I'm not entirely sure what you are trying to express here, so I'll just give me best conjecture.

Kingdom Baa’s leader said,

1. Omg!!

Try not to use "omg" outside of texting. It is not an abbreviation used outside of casual instances.

I forgot to stop/pause the atomic bomb button!

In this case,You mean to say it's still continuing to counting down?

I forgot stoping/pausing the atomic bomb button.

I forgot about stopping/pausing the atomic bomb.

LThe leader asked his/her subordinate to stop the bomb and the subordinate whispered, “Boss, boss, you already stopped it.”

Since there is both the leader and subordinate here, it is unclear who "he" refers to. It can be inferred that it is the subordinate, but to be clear write "the subordinate whispered."

LThe leader saidexclaimed,oOh!

You can use "exclaimed" instead of just "said" when there is "!" at the end. It makes dialogue seem less repetitive.

Did I?” And he continued the second sentence, didn’t he?

I'm not sure what this is supposed to mean.

My understanding is that the first one is a dangerous situation.

SThe second one is lika situation where kKingdom mMoo might say's leader might exclaim, “oh, no, you scared me!!” And hahaha situation,” laughing all the while.

Or, in the worst case iscenario, both are still dangerous as the bomb continuinges to counting down?

It is easy to distinguish both sentences in Japanese.

AThe action haven’s not finished yet at this moment.

Still continuing counting down.

2 (止めた) is past tense.

AThe action have dones already been done so no worries about a 爆弾.

I can't really explain how infinitives and gerunds work very well, as I am using my intuition as the other corrector also said. If I were to say one thing though, gerunds are not about past or present tense. I think you may have the wrong idea.

Infinitives are simply any verb that can have a "to" before the actual verb. Here are some sample sentences that I am creating on the spot:

- I want to run every day for at least 15 minutes from now on.

- My friend told me to walk the whole 10 miles. What is he, crazy?

- We are assigned to read for at least 30 minutes a day in elementary school.

Gerunds are "-ing" verbs that take the "-ing" present tense form. HOWEVER, they are NOT present tense VERBS. INSTEAD, they are "-ing" verbs turned into NOUNS. (Sorry if the all caps seems a bit agressive. I just really want to emphasize this point, as this seems to be a huge misconception in your journal.) I will rephrase all the sentences above using gerunds instead as they are all "-ing" verbs.

- Something I want to do from now on is running for at leaset 15 minutes a day. (Here, "running" is not the verb. Instead, the verb is "want" (ignoring the verb 'is' here). You want to do something. That something is the gerund (noun) "running.")

- What is my friend telling me to do? Walking the whole 10 miles is absurd! He must be insane! (Here, you are no longer going to walk. You are using the gerund "walking" as a noun to describe what you think is absurd."

- One of our assignments in elementary school was reading for at least 30 minutes a day. (Now, there is no verb left in this sentence (besides 'was'). "Reading" here is a noun for what the assignment in elementary school was."

I probably didn't do a great job explaining this as even I had a hard time to make gerunds from the infinitive sentences. I think if there's even more confusion after this it would be best to find online resources on this instead. I tried my best, but this is really hard...

This is technically correct, but you seem to refer to each later on as individuals; therefore, I would change it to "King Baa vs King Moo".

Ep. 7: Infinitive vs Gerund

Today, I’d like to talk about the infinitive and the gerund.

Or, "the infinitive and gerund tenses".

Now, we are at thea gate.

It is better to use indefinite articles (a, an) the first time something is mentioned. Afterwards, you can use the definite article to refer to the thing (the, that, etc).

"We came across a gate. The gate was wide open. Later, we walked down a path. The path was narrow."

Then he rushed to the entrance.

(He is thinkings the door is not locked at this moment, right? )

So he forgot that he locked the door.

The second part of this sentence doesn't quite work. I've suggested an alternative.

You need to choose either past tense or present and stick with it. I have chosen present, since it’s what you started with.

After a while he caomes back and saidys,

“Don’t remember locking” is OK, but “forgot locking” is not.

It means the door was (already) locked when he backedgot back to the entrance.

“Backed to the entrance” means “drove (a car) backwards to the entrance.”

So he forgot that he (had) locked the door.
