A: @JeHyeon: Yes! For example, if I go to see a movie with a friend, I have a good time. If my friend also buys me popcorn, I have an even better time. My friend buying me popcorn is icing on the cake.

A: The first one means that after she had eaten the cake, the phone rang.
The second one means that because she ate the cake, the phone rang.

A: Yes! They are the same. I don’t know if you know, but in English verbs can work as a gerund or infinitive. When the verb is in infinitive you have to put the preposition “to” next to the verb. When the verb is in gerund, you have to add the ing to the verb. Even so, there are some verbs such as love, stop or like that can be used as infinitive or gerund. As a result, the sentences you’ve written are correct and mean the same.

A: I'm not 100% positive that it's grammatically correct because I'm from America but I know that people in Britain use "sat" very frequently. For some examples you should watch some British Youtubers. You will notice that there are a lot of little differences between American English and British English.

Or you can ask very formally, "For whom is this cake?"

"Whose cake is this for" doesn't make sense.
