PERGUNTA:
Quando usamos stop+ing?
Usamos o –ing depois de alguns verbos, para indicar que uma ação ou evento terminou. Exemplos:
“It has stopped raining. Let’s go for a walk.” (It was raining, but not anymore).
“We have stopped using plastic bags. We take our own bag with us.”
Usamos o to+infinitive (ex: stop to look) para indicar que alguém parou de fazer algo, para fazer outra coisa. Exemplos:
“On the way to Edinburgh, we stopped to look at an old castle.” (we stopped our journey in order to look at the castle.)

PERGUNTA:
Qual a diferença entre “to leave” e “to let”?
To Leave:
“To leave”: deixar um lugar, algo ou alguém; esquecer . Exemplos:
“You’re always leaving your car keys on your desk.”
Not: …forgetting your car keys on your desk. or …you’re always leaving your car keys.
“I left my cel phone at home.” Not: I forgot my cel phone at home.
Também usamos quando a ação é intencional:
“We decided to leave the dog at home.”
To Let:
Podemos usar “to let” para falar sobre permissões (deixar alguém fazer algo). “To let” é sempre seguido de um objeto e um verbo no infinitivo, mas sem o “to”. Exemplos:
“She let me look at the photos” Not: She let me to look…
“She’d live on pizzas if we let her.”
Aviso: Não usamos “let” na voz passiva com este significado. Exemplos:
“They didn’t let us take photographs inside the theatre.” (or We weren’t allowed to take photographs …) Not: We weren’t let (to) take photographs.

PERGUNTA:
É correto dizer “I always will love you”?
Geralmente usamos “always”:
– Entre o sujeito e o verbo principal: “He always wears a hat.”
– Depois do primeiro verbo auxiliar: “I’ve always wanted a sports car.”
– Depois do verbo modal: “You’ll always be happy!” “I will always love you.”
“You can always talk to me if you need.”
– Depois do verbo principal “to be”: “She’s always late for class.”
Atenção: não costumamos usar “always” no início de afirmações ou perguntas. Exemplos:
“She always cooks wonderful meals.” Not: Always she cooks wonderful meals.
“Do you always go camping?” Not: Always do you go camping…
