Are
you looking for a way to resolve situations linguistically? We all have
language deficiencies that we need to sort out and here at Scrambled Eggs we
are ready and equipped to help you clear up any misunderstandings!
The
English language can be tricky because sometimes a word has more than one, or
even two, meaning(s). The verb resolve
is a great example! It is a versatile verb and so we have put together a list
of five different ways you can say it!
Do
you need to settle a negotiation with an important client?
Or,
maybe you need to sort out an important issue with a friend.
Perhaps
you need to clear up a misunderstanding in order to move forward with a project.
And
then work out a compromise, because who doesn’t want to walk away from a
problem with a solid agreement?
Last
but not least, maybe you need to fix a problem before moving on with a task.
As
you can see, there are five ways you can use the verb resolve. Can you use them
all correctly? Can you think of different situations when you could use each
one? Now you are ready to linguistically resolve any situation!
One of the hardest concepts for someone learning English as a foreign language is how to form verbs and what structures to use with them. Today we will tackle when to use the gerund and when to use the infinitive after a specific verb. Unfortunately, this is one of the classic exceptions in the English language where there is no specific rule to follow, which means you have even more reason to practice as much as possible! So here’s a brief explanation of some of the primary verbs that deal with the gerund vs. the infinitive:
So, with that explanation in mind, how about we put your skills to the test and try out one of our latest quizzes?

Visiting London, but
unsure of which monuments to go to? We’d recommend you visit the Tower of
London! This Medieval monument has something for everyone, from solo travellers
to families and everyone in-between.
The Tower of London is a historic building dating back to the Middle Ages. It was
built by William the Conqueror in the 1070s. William, originally from France, defeated King Harold Godwinson at the
Battle of Hastings making him the King of England. He built the Tower as a sign
of his royal power and because he was afraid of a rebellion. The Tower has a
rich and complex history, but what is it exactly? A fortress, a palace or a
prison?
Throughout British history, the Tower has both been a
symbol of awe and fear. Its primary purpose was as a fortress to protect
the city and the citizens of London. However, since its construction, it has
been used for many different purposes. Up until the 17th century it
was used as a royal residence, some monarchs
used it as a luxurious palace, it
has also been home to the royal mint,
at one point it was a governmental records office, it has also been a jewel
house, an observatory, an armoury,
and even a zoo! Nevertheless, it is most well known for being a state prison. From
1100 to 1952 many Kinds and Queens used the Tower to imprison their rivals and enemies.
Nowadays this UNESCO World Heritage Site is an
extremely popular tourist attraction. Located
next to Tower Bridge, this grand structure is hard to miss. It is pretty big and there are plenty of things for you to enjoy while
visiting. To learn more about the Tower’s history and about those who were
imprisoned, tortured and executed there, go on a guided tour with one of The
Yeoman Warders, the Tower’s guards. Afterwards, you should visit the oldest and
most important part of the Tower: The White Tower. When it was built, in the
late 11th century, it was one of London’s tallest buildings. Inside you can visit an exhibition dedicated
to suits of armour and swords. Then, why not stroll along the Tower’s walls. From
here, not only will you be able to view the Tower’s grounds from above, you
will also get amazing views of
London and the River Thames. If you only have time to do just one thing, you
must visit the Crown Jewels collection! Here you can see and marvel at some of the British
Monarchy’s most spectacular royal Jewels. Some of which are still used today.
What other monuments have you visited in London? What would you recommend, and do you have some top tips to share?
