    Hello Nima_Persian,

    I had also the same query in several times. But what makes people prefer to use VERB + NUMB+TO VERB as like as in sentence 1 in most cases rather than using sentence 2 in sentences?

    First sentence:

    I try not to drive my car in an inefficient Manner. I do this so that without using your car (I threw my car out of the parked lane then I just pressed in a parking spot)

    Sentence 2: I don’t try to drive my car intentionally but can’t stop if I just want to suck it up a little?s of my driver’s seat…

    Are both formal and similar? What is the opposite? What are some of the differences between these sentences?

    My Tutor cleared my doubt, I am sharing with you here. The question is 100%. If I don’t keep the answer to you I will send him an email.

    1. Both the sentences mean the same.
    2. ‘Verb + Not to’ (Sentence 1) is used in general form diction.
    3. It (Sentence 1) places emphasis on the verb and makes the reader / listener focus in on the statement.
    4. We can use this statement written in writing and speaking…(Sentence 1), I was told by

    him, “We can use this statement in writing and speaking.”
