for learning English vs. to learn English

0Hi all,02br
02br
00I have some questions about the usage of 01i00to02i00-infinitive:02br
02br
00(1) What would be the differences between ' I'm going to Spain 01b00to learn Spanish02b00 ' and ' I'm going to Spain 01b00for learning Spanish02b00 ' ?02br
02br
00(2) Which would be grammatical? 'I have a place to live' 01i00vs02i00. 'I have a place to live in' 02br
02br
00 If the first sentence is correct, why should the preposition be included in the sentence like ' I have a chair to sit on' or 'I have a pen to write with'?02br
02br
00Thanks for your answers in advance!!02br

  • 02i 02br 002.
  • In theory, the preposition is needed since 01i 00live02i 00 can't be used as a transitive verb: 01i 00He lives a place.
  • 02i 00We have to say: 01i 00He lives 01b 00in02b 00 a place.
