Don’t forget to remind them about the party. (Remember + to + infinitive and forget + to + infinitive refer to recalling (or not recalling) that there is something we need to do before we do it. Remember + -ing and forget + -ing refer to having (or not having) a memory of something in the past.)
I remember seeing you somewhere. (The same situation as with the previous one.)
Did you remember to water the plants today? (Already explained.)
We regret to tell you that you have failed this exam. (When 'regret' is followed by the gerund you feel sorry about something you did – or didn't do - in the past. When 'regret' is followed by the infinitive, you regret something you are about to say.)
He regrets making that mistake; now he doesn’t have money.(The same situation as with the previous one.)
After learning Spanish, she went on to make dinner. (Go on + to-infinitive means to do the next action, which is often the next stage in a process. Go on + gerund means to continue with an action.)
They went on discussing this question for hours.(The same situation as with the previous one.)
I’m sorry to interrupt, but can I ask you something? (When I want to express my regret about something I am doing now I need to use the form sorry + infinitive. When I want to express my regret about something I did in the past I need to use the form sorry + verb+ing.)
Bob was sorry for shouting at his little sister.(The same as with the previous one.)
He stopped smoking when he realized how dangerous it was.(Stop + -ing means the action is not happening any more. Stop + to + infinitive means that someone or something stops an activity so that they can do something else.)
School life consists not only of lessons and changes for communicating with friends. Every day every student is full of various events, including various organizational and recreational activities, which we all have to attend.
Sometimes the principal may also gather students in the assembly hall to give them important news. But this happens quite rarely, more often we hear the director’s speech only on holidays, for example, on the first of September, Nikolai Mikhailovich (впишешь имя своего директора) always welcomes schoolchildren, standing on the porch in front of the gymnasium, and invites us to continue the road to knowledge.
The main event of the winter period is a solemn meeting of the New Year, which is not without gifts and a disco. We also celebrate March 8 in the same fun, preparing a concert for teachers on this holiday, and on May 9, the students of our gymnasium necessarily participate in laying wreaths on memorials.
Of course, many other interesting and equally important events are held in our gymnasium, including parent meetings, meetings with veterans, sports competitions, etc. Therefore, the life of students is never boring and is always in full swing.
Школьная жизнь состоит не только из уроков и перемен для общения с друзьями. Каждый день любого ученика насыщен разнообразными событиями, в том числе различными организационными и развлекательными мероприятиями, на которых мы все обязаны присутствовать.
Иногда директор может также собрать учеников в актовом зале, чтобы сообщить им важные новости. Но происходит это довольно редко, чаще речи директора мы слышим лишь на праздниках, например, первого сентября Николай Михайлович обязательно приветствует школьников, стоя на крыльце перед гимназией, и приглашает нас продолжить дорогу к знаниям.
Главным мероприятием зимнего периода является торжественная встреча Нового года, которая не обходится без подарков и дискотеки. Так же весело мы отмечаем и 8 Марта, готовя для учителей концерт на этот праздник, а 9 Мая ученики нашей гимназии обязательно участвуют в возложении венков на мемориалы.
Конечно же, в нашей гимназии проводится множество других интересных и не менее значимых мероприятий, в том числе родительские собрания, встречи с ветеранами, спортивные состязания и т. д. Поэтому жизнь учеников никогда не бывает скучной и всегда идет полным ходом.
