[Grammar] Usage of "Gerund" and "Infinitive" sentences

[shahjehansoomro]

I have two queries to ask.

1. Is the following passive voice of Infinitive sentence correct?

# To get selected seems impossible.


2. Can we use "Gerund" sentences and "Infinitive" sentences same as below:

# Writing makes a man perfect.
and
# To write makes a man perfect.

Although you didn't ask about it, there is also a gerund form of your first sentence: "Getting selected seems impossible.

All four sentences are grammatical but the infinitive forms seem less natural to me. I would use the gerund form in both cases.

I have more two queries to ask.

1. Can we use following sentences as the same according to English Grammar rules and meaning?

# You have me laughing.
and

# you make me laugh.

2. If we use subject as "He" in following sentence instead of "They" then we will use "has" or "have" with it.

# They have you fighting.
# He has you fighting.

Yes but little bit not satisfied by this answer.
They have you fighting , I have taken this sentence from English grammar book. It is kind of causative sentence.

No, it's not possible on this site to have your questions only answered by your preferred teacher. It doesn't work that way.
