I'm Alice Bryant.

At the start of each New year, many people ask about the resolutions of their families and friends.

One way to do this is by asking, Ah, yes or no question like this.

Do you have any New Year's resolutions?

Another way is to use an open ended question like this.

What are your New Year's resolutions?

And there are a few ways to answer such questions.

Sometimes the answers can involve a phrase Alvar verb.

For instance, we can use the verb take up to say that we will start a new hobby like this.

Yes, I dio.

I plan to take up kickboxing.

Another phrase.

All verb we can use is give up.

We can use this verb to talk about ending bad habits or changing of behavior like this.

I am giving up sugar for the whole month of January.

Still, in many situations, we do not need phrase all verbs to talk about resolutions.

Other ways to answer include the use of an infinitive verb or a Charente.

Listen to this speaker.

Use an infinitive verb.

My New Year's resolution is to call my parents every week.

The infinitive verb here is to call.

You can also use a Jarron like this.

My New Year's resolution is calling my parents every week.

The Jaren here is calling.

Tell us about your New Year's resolutions in the comments, and that's everyday grammar.
