hi guys and welcome to love english we
have a great lesson for you today in fact
one that a lot of people have actually
requested
mm-hmm so today we are going to be
looking at Gerund and to infinitive
basically word patterns that follow
other verbs... now lots of you might be
thinking what's a gerund now a gerund is
a verb in the ing form so this means
that basically the verb is doing the job
of the noun
yeah so the verb is behaving like a
noun in the sentence... so for example if
you look at this sentence dancing is good
for you ...there dancing is the subject
so dancing seems to be doing the
job of the noun
ok so yes in that case guys when we have
a verb at the beginning of the sentence it's
doing the job of the noun we have to put in
ing form
yes and that is always the case yes ok
So we've got 10 verbs for you guys which i
only can go with Gerunds so if we only go
with the ing form and then we're going
to look at ten more verbs that can only
be followed by to infinitive yes
that's right there no more excuses
making mistakes after this video ...the verbs we have
chosen specifically because a lot of you
do make mistakes with them
yeah okay I'm ready okay so Sabrah
I'm going to ask you to look at the verb enjoy... so enjoy... I
enjoy cooking sometimes... what do you enjoy
cooking? Paella ...oh fantastic I enjoy
eating it... what a coincidence!
that my one for you is... admit admit I admit
eating your ice cream huh
I knew it with you look I'll put a lock on my fridge!
ok for you practice so I practice doing
yoga yesterday doing
very healthy yeah okay for you Leila I have give up
i gave
up eating chocolate... a really
good point to make give up is
a nice phrasal verb you guys meaning to
quit and ok and also we've got the
preposition up
yeah it's important to remember that 99.999
percent of the
time after a preposition like up in on over
/ under ...then we would usually
have a gerund that's right yes so guys
you might say for example I depend on
getting some extra money depend on ...
I depend on seeing you soon
Suggest...you get this one all the time
listen to Sabrah...i suggested going for
a pizza after work ...good
suggestion... so suggest ...gerund
So for you I've
got can't stand meaning really
don't like I can't stand waking up in
the morning... who can? ... not only early in
the morning that yes uh-huh okay ...
A great verb for you...fancy this is was in our
Valentine's Lesson
yes if you haven't seen that guys... go to that
one it's a nice fun lesson.
In our Valentine's one we talked about how
fancy can be to fancy someone but in
this case we're talking about what we
fancy doing
so I fancy visiting Paris going
to Paris...I fancy joining you
Next one for you Leila..Imagine
imagine... i imagine winning the lottery
...keep imagining Leila
so for me?
Mind...Leila do you mind doing my laundry for me?
Yes...I mind doing your laundry...so in this case
guys we can have do you mind or would you mind
or I wouldn't mind than any of
the forms we would put mind and it will be
followed by ing... okay and last one for me?
Ok avoid the way I avoided doing
your laundry huh
you're avoided exercising things oh yeah
...and giving up chocolate huh!
I avoid a lot of things... Right guys that was our 10 verbs
really a right guys that was a 10 but
that only can go with the gerund
important to point out that there are
lots more verbs that can only go with
gerunds yeah so you need to look those up
ok you can do a google search and you
can get a list which shows....I fact we can
put it on our facebook page i think we
will yes so the verbs
which only go with ing and
only go with infinitive so in a second
we're gonna be looking at ten verbs that
can only go with the infinitive okay you
ready whenever you are
ok guys so let's look at some common
verbs that are followed by to and
infinitive an infinitive verb is the
first form the base form of the verb
yes so for example the verb to be... to be
so Leilaa I want you to give
me an example with afford ok I
can't afford to buy that dress ...
one to me please
want
I want to go on a date with Brad Pitt
Bit old for you...he's single!
better than
Ryan Gosling huh
ok so for you Leila I've got seem
you seem to be better
I do feel better i wasn't very well before but
yes I do...so for you...choose
i chose to eat chocolate... how many examples with chocolate?
Lelia is all about chocolate and lotteries
OK ask
i asked to get a
pay rise
ok so for you Leila ... agree agree i
agreed to do the washing-up
ok ok form you expect
I expected hear from you earlier
and for you hope... i hope
to win the lottery
oh my god Leila change the record
getting bored ...for you manage manage... I
managed to find the ingredients... to what?
I managed to find something... I managed to
find my glasses ok so
manage is a verb that means you do
something where there's some difficulty
involved
yeah like finding something that
you lost or doing your homework and
passing the test a good example managed to
climb the mountains and yeah anything
like that and the
final one for you ...decide...
