English Grammar Quiz: Preposition vs Infinitive

Grammar Masterclass

An interactive exercise to identify the function of "To".

💡 Quick Grammar Reference Guide

  • When "To" is an Infinitive Marker: It simply connects to a plain, base action verb.
    Example: We decided to shift to a new location. (to + base verb)
  • When "To" is a Preposition: It indicates a goal, a habit, or a clear focus. Because it is a preposition, it must be followed by a noun phrase or a gerund (an -ing verb form acting as a noun).
    Example: We study with a view to improving our knowledge. (to + -ing)

    This discussion highlights something that many IELTS students overlook: knowing English and knowing how to perform in the IELTS exam are two different things. A candidate may have good vocabulary but still lose marks because of poor time management, weak task response, unclear organisation, or difficulty developing answers. That is why I think students should choose preparation that includes regular assessment and feedback rather than relying entirely on self-study. JAK Global Education in Dubai is one option I would recommend students look into if they want professional IELTS preparation. Their training covers the main IELTS IELTS exam preparation course in Dubai skills through structured lessons, practice activities, mock tests, and trainer guidance. For students targeting Band 6.5 or Band 7, having someone identify repeated mistakes and explain how to correct them can be much more useful than simply completing another practice test.
