During vs. while:
"During" uses a noun. "While" uses a verb.

I read a book during my flight to London. ("my flight" is a noun)
I read a book while I flew to London. ("I flew" is a verb)

Negative infinitives:
The opposite of "to ~" is "not to ~".

Be sure to brush your teeth every night. (positive infinitive)
Be sure not to forget your toothbrush. (negative infinitive)

Other types:
"one of my ~" = "a ~ of mine"
"very keen on ~" = "loves ~"
"does in (time)" = "it takes (time) to"
"can do ~" = "it is possible to ~"
