Find a topic that you are already interested in, and start reading about it, watching it on TV, listening to podcasts about it. And then move on to the next topic that you are interested in. Every time you learn a new word, make 5 sentences with it, and make it personal. Include your life in the example sentences. This will make a connection with you and therefore more difficult to forget. For example: NEW WORD: JOB. Bad example sentence: Everyone needs a job. Good example sentence: I got my first job when I was 18 years old.

Hi Binta, Gerunds function as nouns: I like swimming / reading / cooking. Present participle is used in various verb tenses: I've been reading / cooking / waiting. Present participle can also be used as an adjective: I saw a sleeping cat / a reading guy / a laughing man. We can use verbs like, hate, love, prefer with both -ing and infinitives: We use -ing form to suggest enjoyment. We use to + infinitive to talk about habits. I like making jam. - I enjoy making it. I like to make jam every year. - it's a habit / preference. You can get more info about that in a textbook called "Essential Grammar in Use" by Raymond Murphy, units number: 51, 52, 53, and 54. Or you can also read an article on Cambridge dictionary website by searching: "hate, like, love and prefer". Have a wonderful day!

"that is " can be omitted as it refers to "something". so the sentence will be "Endurance is the ability to do something hard." and it's all because of indefinite pronoun like "something, somewhere, somebody ". for example, We're going to go somewhere nice this summer (we're going to go somewhere that is nice ) . let's do something cool ( let's do something that is cool)
