Distractors

"distractor" is a term used in psychology and education to refer to a specific element or item in a test or task that is designed to divert attention or confuse the test-taker. In this context, a distractor is one of the multiple-choice options that is incorrect but plausible enough to lead someone astray.

Example: In the exam, students often struggle to choose the correct answer because the distractors are very convincing.

gerunds and infinitives

infinitive ( = hele of stam van het werkwoord)

We use the infinitive

• to say why we do something.  We went to town to buy a new coat.
• to say why something exists.  They built a dyke to protect us from the water.
• after too and enough. It was too soon to decide to quit. It wasn't high enough to keep the water out.

bare 

infinitive + to-infinitive

We use the infinitive in the following constructions

verb (see list on p 206) + infinitive

We decided to go to Amsterdam to do some shopping.

verb ( see list on p 206) + (somebody/ something) + to-infinitive

They asked us to leave the building.

verb ( see list on p 206) + somebody/ something + to-infinitive

I invite you to come to my party.

Leer geen rijtjes werkwoorden uit je hoofd. Lees ze een aantal keren hardop met de juiste vorm erachter:decide to go / postpone going

verb + -ing (gerund)

We use a gerund

• after prepositions

We are looking forward to going on a schooltrip.

• as subject or object of a sentence

Smoking is bad for your health. 

• after certain verbs ( see list on p 206)

I usually postpone learning for tests until the very last moment.

• after expressions ( it's no good, it's no use, it's not worth, it's a waste of time, can't stand, can't bear)
