Language review Verb patterns When you use two verbs together in English you need to decide whether the second verb should be the infinitive with or without to, or the –ing form. The structure you use depends on the first verb.
1. Verb + to + infinitive These verbs are followed by to + infinitive:
agree appear
arrange ask attempt choose decide
expect
fail hurry learn manage offer prepare promise
refuse
seem tell tend try want warn
We can group some of these verbs like this:
He seems to like music.
She failed to reach the final of the competition. Tend + to + infinitive means you usually or often do something. I tend to get up earlier when the weather’s good. I tend not to drink coffee in the afternoon.
2. Verb + object + to + infinitive These verbs are followed by an object + to + infinitive:
ask choose expect
tell want warn
encourage
recommend forbid permit allow advise
I wanted the sun to shine on my birthday. Many of these are reporting verbs: ask, tell, encourage, warn: She asked him to speak more quietly. I told her not to leave the room until I came back.
3. Verb + object + infinitive without to: Make and let are followed by an object + infinitive without to: My mother made me wear the most awful clothes. She let me stay out later than most of my friends though.
4. Verb + -ing form These verbs are followed by the –ing form of the second verb:
avoid can’t help
can’t stand consider deny enjoy feel
like finish give up hate imagine keep like love
mind
practise prefer put off suggest
encourage
recommend forbid permit allow advise
We can group some of these verbs like this:
I don’t like getting up early.
I began taking singing lessons as a child.
5. Verbs that can take to + infinitive or –ing form Some verbs – like, love, begin, start, continue – can be followed by either the infinitive or the -ing form. I like sailing. / I like to sail. She began having lessons. / She began to have lessons. With some verbs, different meanings are expressed through these two structures:
|
||||
|
Verb |
+ to + infinitive |
+ -ing form |
|
go on |
They went on to talk about their travel arrangements. (They did something new.) |
They went on talking after the waiter brought the bill. (They continued doing the same thing.) |
||
need |
I need to repair my washing machine. (I will do the job.) |
My washing machine needs repairing. (Someone else will do the job.) |
||
remember / forget |
I remembered to buy the milk. (I remembered and then I bought the milk.) |
I remember buying the milk. (I bought the milk and now I remember doing it.) |
||
stop |
He stopped to talk to me. (He stopped in order to talk to me.) |
He’s stopped talking to me. (He’s not talking to me any more.) |
||
try |
I’m trying to lose weight. (I’m trying something difficult.) |
I’m trying eating just fruit for breakfast. (I’m trying something new.) |
||
6. Sense verbs: hear, see, feel, notice These verbs can either be followed by the infinitive without to or the –ing form but there is a difference in meaning. Compare: I heard a dog bark, and then a car started and drove off. (I heard the whole of the barking.) I heard a dog barking as I went past the house. (I heard part of the barking.)
7. Other points
I didn’t ask him to leave (I didn’t ask him, but he left) and I asked him not to leave (I said, ‘Please don’t leave.’).
