I would like to know what the difference is between "I love doing something" and "I love to do something".  For example:        “I love singing.”      and,        “I love to sing.”      When I was young, I was told that "love doing something" is right, but one day, I found Jessie J wrote "I love to sing" on her Instagram.

I bought this book titled 2 Hari Taklukan Grammar, written by Edward Rahardian in Bahasa (Indonesian language) and mostly talk about gerund and infinitive. And these are some examples of the gerund sentences that I found.        His mother suggested having lunch before we leave.     I will try studying harder.     The car needs washing.     Your hair needs washing.     My teacher disliked me coming late.        Somehow those words sound unnatural for me because I've never heard those in daily conversations. As a learner, I only get exposed with English by watching TV series and any other entertainment resources.  So in my thought, they sound more natural like this:        His mother suggested to have lunch before we leave.     I will try to study harder.     The car needs to be washed.     Your hair needs to be washed.     My teacher disliked me to come late.       Are those sentences in the first group grammatically correct? And, is it normal for one to say them in normal/daily conversations?

From what I understand, the word "midnight" is usually interpreted incorrectly.  Midnight is written as "12am" which would imply that it's in the morning.  Therefore, it should be at the start of the day.  On the other hand, both  and the  define it as "twelve o'clock at night".  Some examples:   "Midnight on the 10th of December" "Midnight Thursday" "Midnight tonight"   are usually interpreted as:   Straddling the 10th and the 11th of December Straddling Thursday and Friday Straddling today and tomorrow   but should they technically mean:   straddling the 9th and the 10th of December? straddling Wednesday and Thursday? This is much less clear. Technically is there a midnight "tonight", or is midnight "tomorrow morning"?   What do you think? How should "midnight" be interpreted?

Today, when looking up the definitions of the phrasal verb "take sth up", I noticed that one of them was written like this: "to start or begin something such as a job." For the first time I realised that probably "start" and "begin" don't exactly mean the same thing.So the question is what the difference is between the two, and if there are cases when they mean exactly the same thing.

I have learnt these words so far, please correct me if I'm wrong:   Dawn, maybe 4am–6am? Morning, maybe 6am–9am? The food for the morning is called breakfast. People greet each other Good morning! Noon, maybe 11am–1pm? The food is called lunch. Afternoon, maybe 2pm–4pm? People greet each other Good afternoon! Evening, maybe 6pm–9pm? The food for the evening is called supper. People greet each other Good evening! Night, maybe 9pm–11pm? However, Good night means "have a good sleep". Mid-night, maybe 11pm–1am?   You see, I've missed some parts of a day, I may be not correct on the time boundaries of each part, though.  I would like to complete the list, especially the part after the morning but before the afternoon. My teacher never told us to use the word noon, and good noon seems never used by anyone.  I would like to know each part of a day, its corresponding food term (like lunch, supper, etc.), and its corresponding greeting words, thanks.  Summary  I'll update the table to reflect the answers:  Part          Begin End   Meal             Greeting ------------- ----- ----- ---------------- --------------------- morning/dawn   0:00  5:00                   early morning  5:00  6:00                  Good morning morning        6:00  9:00 breakfast        Good morning mid-morning    9:00 11:59 elevenses/       Good morning                           morning tea/                           brunch noon          12:00 12:00 - afternoon     12:00 17:00 lunch/           Good afternoon                           afternoon tea evening       17:00 21:00 supper           Good evening night         21:00 23:00 night-time snack Good evening midnight      23:00  1:00 midnight snack   Good night

We put him to bed at 9pm and he stays up til 1am or later. When I go to check on him he is always playing with his hands and sometimes talking. I ask him why he is awake and not trying to sleep and he says it's because he just wants to play. He never comes to tell us that he is having a hard time sleeping or that there is anything wrong. The weird thing is that he used to be the first one to fall asleep out of 3 boys and the staying up started a few months ago. He does this every night and on top of keeping us awake, he is now waking up his brothers.   About a month or so ago, we decided to punish him by grounding him from video games. He doesn't want to be grounded, but he still keeps doing it. Nothing we do seems to be helping and it seems to be getting worse. I have talked to him about why it is so important to get enough sleep and why it's even more important for kids. He also gets plenty of exercise and time to play during the day.   I'm really starting to wonder if he is doing it just to be defiant. If anyone has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.  The problem is that he is being disruptive to everyone in the house and it has been EVERY night for the last 3 months.   He is tired and emotional during the day, and it is causing his brothers to be tired during the day while they are at school.   Because he is tired during the day he doesn't really want to be as active as he used to be. However, I do still encourage him to be active. We have always had a bedtime routine. We have asked him many different times if he is just having trouble sleeping, if he is uncomfortable, and if there is something wrong. He always tells us that he just wants to play.   At the beginning of all this he told me that he wants to be the one to decide when he goes to sleep and when he wakes up. Which is why I would even ask if it was out of defiance.   We really didn't want to get to the point of punishing him, but nothing else seemed to help and it was only after he started keeping his brothers awake.   It's not like we haven't asked him what he thinks would help or what would help him sleep better. He ALWAYS says that he just WANTS to stay up and play because it is fun. We know it is important for him to get enough sleep, and I'm worried because I don't think he is (and he's preventing the rest of us from getting enough, too).
