Synonyms of "Matter" and their differences
Q:
What is the difference between It is better to approach the matter from its grounds. and It is better approaching the matter from its grounds. ?
A:
Well, let's start with what ground means. In this case, 'ground' basically means 'from the beginning,' or as you said, 'from its root or basics.'
For the first sentence, you already have the word 'to,' so there is no need to have the word, 'approaching', so instead we put 'approach.' In this case, you also need to add the word 'the,' assuming that your listener/reader already know what type of matter you are talking about. And because we already have the word 'the', we don't need to make 'grounds' plural, so we change it to just 'ground.'
Now for the second sentence, because you don't have the word 'the,' you change the word 'approach' to 'approaching', which contains an '-ing'. Because of this, we need to change 'ground' to 'grounds', to make it plural.
(Just a side note, both of the sentences you wrote will work, especially if you are fluent in english since you will be talking fast, so the person probably won't even notice!)
