Answer 2

In the sentences you provided, you have choices between two different forms of verbs: the base form (infinitive) and the "-ing" form (gerund). The choice between these forms can change the meaning of the sentence slightly. Here's how each choice affects the meaning:

5. I don't mind helping/to help around the house.

   • "Helping" suggests that you are open to the general idea of assisting with household tasks.
   • "To help" implies that you are willing to help with specific tasks when needed.

6. We'd love to visit/visiting China.

   • "Visit" implies that you are interested in the idea of going to China.
   • "Visiting" suggests that you are interested in the act of being in China and experiencing it.

7. Please, don't say something/anything.

   • "Something" means you don't want the person to say a specific thing.
   • "Anything" means you don't want the person to say any kind of thing.

8. We need to decide on somewhere/anywhere to go at the weekend.

   • "Somewhere" suggests you have a specific place in mind to decide on.
   • "Anywhere" implies that you are open to choosing any place without a specific preference.

The choice between these forms often depends on the specific nuance or emphasis you want to convey in the sentence.
