English is an amazing language, especially for writers. Why is this
so? Because in English you can say the same exact idea in numerous
ways. That helps prevent boredom!
For instance, here is some advice from me to you in different forms:
1. It is important for you to review what we study in class each night (infinitive phrase).
or, with a noun clause: It is important THAT you review each night.
2. It is critical for you to learn the grammar structures and then to use them every day (infinitive phrase).
or, with a noun clause: It is critical THAT you learn the structures and use them every day.
3. It is not too hard to learn a little bit each day, but it is too hard to learn a lot each day (infinitive phrase).
or with gerunds:
4. In other words, learning a little bit each day is easy enough, but learning a lot each day is more difficult.
Please
add your own pieces of advice for me or for your classmates in multiple
forms. Show us that you can say the same idea in more than one
(correct) way!
