Answer 18

What do you need help with?

Answer 19

We think the verbal is "Speak" (or "to speak") but which type of verbal do you think it is?

Answer 20

A verbal is a word that originally is a verb, but now it's changed to or being used as some other part of speech.

For example: I like skiing. <or> I like to ski.
"Skiing" and "to ski" come from a verb, but now they are functioning as nouns (just like in "I like pizza", the noun is pizza.)
Skiing is a gerund (because it has +ing) and "To ski" is an infinitive (because it has "to.")

Answer 21

Oh okay that makes a lot of sense! So "to speak" is a gerund verbal, right?

Answer 22

yea

Answer 23

Mhm..

Answer 25

to speak is correct but gerund is not

Answer 26

Do we know why it's wrong?
