Test your understanding! Reply with a sentence using both "Preposition + which" and "where." ⬇️

💡 How to Choose:
For specific moments, use "when."
For durations or overlapping actions, use "while."
Test your understanding! Share a sentence with "when" and another with "while" below. Let’s practice! ⬇️

2️⃣ "While" for overlapping actions:
"While" is used for two actions happening simultaneously. It emphasizes overlapping or ongoing events.
✔️ Example: I listened to music while working on my project.
💡 Quick Tip: Use "while" for actions that happen at the same time.

1️⃣ "When" for specific points in time:
"Use when" to talk about a specific moment or trigger event.
✔️ Example: I was cooking dinner when the phone rang.
✔️ Example: Let me know when you arrive.
💡 Quick Tip: If you’re emphasizing a time point or a trigger, go with "when."

💡 Pro Tip:
When in doubt, test whether "to" can be removed or replaced. This helps clarify its role in the sentence!

Drop your examples of "to do" and "to doing" in the replies. Let’s practice together! ⬇️

2️⃣ To + Verb-ing (Gerund):
If "to" works as a preposition, it’s followed by a gerund (-ing).
✔️ Test: Replace the gerund with a noun.

I’m looking forward to meeting you. → I’m looking forward to the meeting. ✅
Since it works, "to" is a preposition here.

1️⃣ To + Base Verb (Infinitive):
If "to" introduces a verb indicating purpose or future action, it’s part of an infinitive.
✔️ Test: Remove "to" and check the sentence.

I need to finish my work. → I need finish my work. ❌
"To" is necessary, so it’s part of the infinitive!

When your mind craves stability, lean in instead of stepping back, and turn uncertainty into momentum!
