Unit 18.

Verb Patterns

Verb+to/ Verb+ing

Речь идет о связях сказуемого в предложении. Как в русском, так и в английском предложении в качестве прямого дополнения после сказуемого обычно выступает имя существительное или местоимение.

E.g. I saw her yesterday. – Я видел её вчера.

Эту же функцию в русском предложении может выполнять инфинитив (начальная форма глагола).

Напр.: Она попросила перезвонить позже.

В английском языке большинство глаголов тоже требуют после себя инфинитива в качестве прямого дополнения. Следует отметить, что в английском языке инфинитив, как правило, употребляется с частицей to: E.g. I want to buy a new car.

She promised to come in time.

Конструкция verb + to…(infinitive) встречается в том случае, когда глагол, выполняющий функцию прямого дополнения, стоит после следующих глаголов:

Choose	Promise	help	want
Decide	Manage	hope	agree
Forget	Need	try	refuse

E.g. I agreed to lend him money.

We decided not to go out because of the weather.

Инфинитив также употребляется после выражений be going и be able:

E.g. He is going to be a doctor.

Без частицы to инфинитив употребляется:

- после модальных глаголов can/could, may/might, must, should;

- после вспомогательных глаголов will/would, do/don’t, does/doesn’t:

E.g. She can dance well.

Однако есть ряд глаголов, после которых в качестве прямого дополнения употребляется –ing –форма:

Like	Enjoy	Stop
Dislike	Hate	Mind
Love	Finish	suggest

E.g. Would you mind closing the window?

После глаголов begin start continue может употребляться как герундий, так и инфинитив, напр.:

Ann began to sing her favourite song.

Ann began singing in her early years.
