Ok, so let's do it :

1st : the verb "to go" is always followed by another "to"
ex. : I'm going TO the liquor store Wink

2nd : As I told Sarah earlier => don't use "ing" on every verb. It's not the only tense lol...
If you're not sure of which one you should put, use the infinitive Wink

Or else, ask me, I'm here Wink

3rd : if you you use "I was", your verb will be at the past participle mode Wink

ex. : I was beaten up...

Big big thanks!!

Did I forget some TO after Going?? pale

But I have problems like that, I don't know the meaning of "infinitive", "accusative" and other things like that!

4th : the verb "to want" is always followed by "to" and the infinitive.
Ex. : I want to go / I want to leave / I want to be...

However, if the verb "to want" is folloewed by an adverb or an adjective or else than a verb, the "to" will be removed.
Ex. : I want happiness / I want red / I want this one....

5th : the obligation is always followed by the infinitive.
Ex. : I have to do, I have to dust
I must go, I must clean

6th : The other thing I noticed on the forum is that everybody has difficulties to choose the right preposition : "in" or "on"...
It's hard to explain has I'm not a teacher and for me it's natural, but try this : everytime you're talking about an object, put "on" and put "in" only if you're talking of the inside of the object.
Am I clear on that explanation ? lol
Ex. : On the radio, on the table, on the net, on the screen...
In the closet, in the refrigerator, in the city...
