Londra´u has two vowels but two vowels don´t come next to each other. Besides it doesn´t have the correct vowel according vowel harmony. İstanbul´u is correct.
Canlı, verbs take different case suffixes to their objects. These are pre defined. They don´t change.
For instance sevmek always takes -i case.
Ali okulu seviyor.
Ayşe tenis oynamayı seviyor.
Başlamak (to start something) always takes -e case.
Ben okula başladım.
Ben tenis oynamaya başladım.
"Hoşlanmak" (to like) always takes the -den case.
Ben okuldan hiç hoşlanmıyorum.
Ben tenis oynamaktan hiç hoşlanmıyorum.
In these three sentence "tenis oynamak" is the object. It is not different than any other object. You might be confused to see that "oynamak" takes all case suffixes just like an ordinary noun. Is "oynamak" a noun? The answer is yes. Infinitives are the names of verbs. Because they are names they are nouns. They become verbs when they are conjugated.
The infinitive is the noun form of a verb. The short infinitive (-me, ma) isn´t any different than the long infinitive (mek, mak) except that with most noun cases (dative , accusative) we use the short infinitive. Also the short infinitive can create permanent nouns that are used in compound nouns.
Here are some more examples with the short and long infinitives that take case suffixes :
Ben okumayı seviyorum.
Ben okumaya başladım.
Ben kitap okumaktan hoşlanıyorum.
Reading is a good idea. I wouldn´t worry about grammar as long as you understood half of what you are reading. It is more important to continue reading and to read lots more than studying grammar. You will learn many grammar points intuitionally with time. Plus you will learn lots of vocabulary and you will get used to sentence structures. The only thing I would worry would be to find something to read that I would like reading.
