Gerunds and infinitives are verb forms that can function as nouns. Gerunds are verbs ending in "-ing" and infinitives are "to + verb". Gerunds can be subjects of sentences, objects of prepositions, or objects of certain verbs. Infinitives can be objects of verbs or follow certain adjectives and nouns. Knowing when to use gerunds or infinitives depends on the grammar rules of the specific verbs in the sentence. The document provides examples of how to use gerunds and infinitives correctly in different contexts.

Module 5 lesson 5.1
There are two types of clauses in English: independent clauses and dependent clauses. An independent clause can stand alone as a simple sentence because it contains a subject and verb and expresses a complete thought. A dependent clause does not express a complete thought on its own and must be attached to an independent clause; it begins with a subordinating conjunction like "because", "when", or "after". Together, the independent and dependent clauses form a complex sentence expressing a full idea. Common time-related subordinating conjunctions that introduce dependent clauses include after, as soon as, before, until, when, whenever, and while.

Hype vs. Reality: The AI Explainer
Artificial intelligence (AI) is everywhere, promising self-driving cars, medical breakthroughs, and new ways of working. But how do you separate hype from reality? How can your company apply AI to solve real business problems?
Here’s what AI learnings your business should keep in mind for 2017.
Study: The Future of VR, AR and Self-Driving Cars
We asked LinkedIn members worldwide about their levels of interest in the latest wave of technology: whether they’re using wearables, and whether they intend to buy self-driving cars and VR headsets as they become available. We asked them too about their attitudes to technology and to the growing role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the devices that they use. The answers were fascinating – and in many cases, surprising.
This SlideShare explores the full results of this study, including detailed market-by-market breakdowns of intention levels for each technology – and how attitudes change with age, location and seniority level. If you’re marketing a tech brand – or planning to use VR and wearables to reach a professional audience – then these are insights you won’t want to miss.
