Is this sentence ambiguous?
The correct answer shows it should be "give up". But I think it's ambiguous, almost like a pun or a joke. Give up what? Give up on quitting smoking?
Why the following sentence is "incorrect"? "I cycled to school this morning for half an hour."
I cycled to school (for the next three years). ✔️ I cycled (for half an hour) to school this morning. ✔️ Grammatically, the sentence in the title is correct and does make sense in my language regardless of the linear position of the adjunct "for half an hour". Can anyone explain the nuance of this?
Never use 'to' after (Request/Recommend/Insist/Suggest/Dare/Demand)?
I am starting to notice a trend where native speakers avoid using 'verb+someone+to'' structure after certain verbs. Specifically, I hear 'I suggest (that) you do it' instead of 'I suggest you to do it'. 'I recommended (that) he go' instead of 'I recommended him to go'. 'I demand (that) he leave' instead of 'I demand him to leave'. 'How dare he speak to me like that' 'I request (that) you disappear' instead of 'I request you to disappear'. So always use 'that + he/she/they/it + base form of verb' after these verbs? Am I on the right track?

Is the word escapee used in daily conversations?
As a middle advanced non-English speaker, I’ve never seen anyone say this word! Even in reality shows and tv series, I can barely remember anyone said that word. So native speakers, did you bump into this word before?
