  • What should the first sentence in this poem be about?

    • Will deactivating, watching movies actually help? I know why.
    • When did I stop cooking?

    All these sentences mean that I was doing some activity, working, watching or cooking in the past, and then I finished doing it. In these cases, the verb stop is taking another verb as its complement. The verb in question is called in the English verb.in which case the verb must be in the form of -ing.

    In the Original Poster’s two sentences, stops are used without a complement. How do they do so? If a verb stopped is assuming that the verb is coming up does not have a complement. You can’t tell what the verb is having or what is being done. What used to be my “stop doing”? I stopped in a sentence. It’s like a sentence with a little words.

    • I stopped.

    Suggesting infinitives for expressions in sentences with meaning in the first part of the second section of each. The used infinitives were used for explanation. Why have infinitives of purpose cited to explain the purpose of a person’s actions?

    • I went to a bar for a drink. I asked the bar manager for an apology.
    • I’m flying to Paris to visit my brother.

    In the Original Poster’s example sentences, we don’t know what I was doing, but we know why I stopped doing it:

    • to work for a month
    • to watch movies
    • to cook.

    These infinitives are not complements of the verb stop. What are adjuncts which is why i kept doing what i think I should be doing? About the site, you can type in extra information regarding the source or the subject.
