1050 - STOP Doing vs STOP To Do - What’s the Difference?

Description: I stopped working. I stopped to get coffee. I stopped working to get coffee.
These sentences all use the word stop, but the meaning changes depending on what comes after stop. Sometimes the activity completely ends. Sometimes the activity pauses for a different action. And sometimes… one little infinitive completely changes the meaning of the sentence. 

I'm guessing you've probably learned this grammar, but I wonder if they show you how you can actually use these patterns in real conversation. Naturally. And that's what we're going to look at today.
