One of the trickiest things to do correctly in English is use the correct verb form. Between infinitives, gerunds, participles and irregular verbs how do we choose the correct one? One way to tackle this problem is to stop thinking about verb forms and to start thinking about the situations we are explaining when we use these verb forms.

Over a million words make up the English language. Over a million words in the English language! Sounds like a lot right? But its actually way more, if you consider that many words have multiple meanings. In English we often use words that sound exactly the same to express totally different concepts, these are called homophones. We also use words that have the same spelling but have different meanings depending on the context, these are called homonyms.
