Noun suffixes in English – understand new words you read!
Improve your ability to understand English by learning about noun suffixes. In this English lesson, I teach you about -ism, -dom, -age, and -tion — what these suffixes mean, and how they work. This is a lesson for more advanced students. Pull up a chair and learn!

Dear James,
I have recently wached your some of your videos on English grammar, and I enjoy them alot. I have registered my name and have my private account, but I do not know how to post my questions on your web be cause it has no contact section. Therefore, I take this place to ask you a question.
I highly appreciate your answer to my question and that you can instruct me how to post my questions whenever I have in the right place.
Cheers,
My question is as follows: Which one out of thes is grammatically correct:
1. All that you have to do is take care of the baby.
2. All that you have to do is taking care of the baby.
3. All that you have to do is to take care of the baby.
Previously, I was taught to use To-infinitive or Gerund after the verb “To Be”, but recently, I have red the No#1 in a TOEIC book which says N#1 is correct.
I am very ambiguous and confused about this.
Hoping that you can help mw with this.
Thanks a lot
I am lost.
