I’m so happy I found your video about this point of grammar. It’s very helpful when I need to explain the distinction between try + gerund and try + infinitive. There are lots of great examples. This is a fun way to help my students understand. Cheers!

Hi Fabio. I think you’ve seen a video we made with Rachel of Rachel’s English. She live in Philadelphia too and we’re friends. It was fun to make it with her! 🙂

The clearest explanation ever! Thanks, Vicky! By the way, are you who did a great collab with a teacher on Youtube about an airport conversation? Cheers!

Hmm… I haven’t seen it that way, but maybe. Can you give me an example Isabel?

Could we say that one meaning of Try to + gerund, with maybe an exclamation mark, conveys exactly an impossibility?

Hi Lena. The verb try can be any tense you’d like. eg. I tried to sail, I try to sail every week, I’ll try to sail next weekend. The thing you can’t change is the infinitive form.
