IS 'STOP' FOLLOWED BY THE INFINITIVE OR BY THE GERUND?

 In English 'Stop' is normally followed by a gerund. When we stop doing something it means the verb in the gerund is the thing that we ceased to do. It can mean 'stop forever' or 'stop at that moment':
- My mum came home so I stopped playing on my PS4.
- I stopped smoking for health reasons.
- I had had plenty so I stopped drinking.

'Stop', more rarely, can be followed by an infinitive. In this case, we stop an activity in order to do what is indicated in the verb in the infinitive.
- I stopped to rest for a few minutes.
- He was shopping and she stopped to get a bite to eat.

USES OF THE CONJUNCTION 'WHETHER':

In English, with the conjunction ‘whether’ we are not talking about if it will rain or be windy even though it is phonetically identical to ‘weather’. It is a difficult conjunction to understand. It often creates some confusion and students shy away from using it. It basically has 3 uses:

1. Implement it to mean ‘sin importar si’. For instance, ‘we will go to the match whether it rains or not’ would be translated by ‘sin importar si llueve o no, iremos al partido.’ We could also place the conjunction at the start of the sentence by saying something like: ‘whether you want to or not, you will do it’ meaning ‘sin importar si quieres o no, lo harás!’

The other 2 uses will be posted shortly! Thanks for reading!

WHEN IS THE 'H' SOUND NOT PRONOUNCED IN ENGLISH:

 In general, there is no rule in English to tell you when to pronounce the 'h', but it is rarely silent. So you have to learn the exceptions as they come along. Usually they turn out to borrowings from French, like 'honest', 'honour', 'heir', 'exhaustion', 'Thailand', 'vehicle', 'ghost', 'ghetto' and 'hour'.
The words starting with a silent 'h', if preceded by the indefinate article must have the 'an' version. For example, we'd say 'an honest fellow'. Hope that helps.

MIXING COMPARATIVES AND SUPERLATIVES

Many of our English as a foreign language students use a comparative when a superlative should be implemented. For example, a student might say something like ‘tea is the more popular drink in England’. Obviously, the superlative ‘most’ must be used here (i.e. el más popular). As you can probably see, we can’t use ‘more’ since this is the comparative version. Thus, we should use ‘tea is the most popular drink’. http://www.clasesinglesonline.com

HOW TO TRANSLATE 'ME SUENA' INTO ENGLISH

‘Me suena la cancion’. Two good options for translating this phrase into English would be the following:
1. ‘The song seems/sounds familiar (to me)’
2. ‘The song rings a bell’

Like in ‘me suena’ the key thing is that you are not totally sure if you know the song or the object of the sentence. Naturally, there would be some doubt about the object. http://www.clasesinglesonline.com
