Today we are looking at Verb Patterns and specifically the + - ING or to + infinitive patterns, and in today's lesson we going to be looking at verbs that take the ING form will be looking at verbs that take the to+ infinitive form will look at verbs take somebody + to + infinitive and we'll look at verbs that the take the -ING or, the to + infinitive form, okay. Now let's go to the classroom. Now firstly I just explain quickly that verb patterns are normally when one verb is followed by another verb ok? So when we have two verbs together, the structure that we use is normally verb + ING or verb + infinitive with 'to' or sometimes without 'to', okay? Now if we look at the examples here, we'll see it clearly that, for example, I enjoy cooking, so, I enjoy cooking -ING or. we say I forgot to cook lunch, so, we can see that the verb + ING or the verb + infinitive okay, now let's go to part 1. Now part 1 is verbs that take the -ing form. When they follow another verb, okay? now, the verbs that take the -ING structure are: like, love adore, enjoy prefer, hate finish don't mind, can't stand look forward to, okay? Now, we'll see some there with an asterisk and what that means is that we can sometimes use these verbs with 'to' but -ING is more usual, ok? So we can say I like to go or I like going the more common thing is to say I like going. Now let's have a look at some examples on the next page here So, for example, I love fishing I don't mind doing the dishes I adore spending time with my family and, I can't stand waiting in queues. And finally I look forward to meeting you again. So all these verbs here we can see take the -ing structure Now part 2 is burbs plus to plus infinity now burbs the take the two plus infinitives form %ah agree shoes yeah decide expect to get hell hope learn manage need of a promise refuse seem want would like would love would pursue the and would hate okay now we have a couple of the see it also with an asterisk and that means that they can be used without to so it didn't help can also be used without to just take infinity with out to now the examples that we have on this page %ah I'd choose to wear a suit to work I choose to wait he expects to arrive on time she seems to be little nervous don't forget to pick me up at AP in or I would love to visit in a bar a this summer okay so we can see the structure i'd shoes the to Wasilla two-plus infinitive and then what it was it whatever else so I choose to wear suit to now part 3 is the plus somebody plus two plus infinity night now the difference between the ones that we just saw is that we put somebody whether it's he she you me all or whatever in between okay now as we can see here the burbs to take this structure summer them a similar to the last ones as well so don't be surprised if you see some birds repeated so for example advise allow I ask a encourage expect help need invite order remind tale want warn would like would love would prefer to would hate now as I said some of those that were repeated so let's have a look at some of the examples here he advised me to stay at home will you allow me to introduce myself we invited them to the party and she told me to be quiet and I would hate you to get lost okay so we can see that taking the same structure with putting somebody in between he advised me he will you allow me we invited name take cetera ok I said those birds that we saw before take these particular structure now pop for is birds that take the ING all the two plus infinity okay now the urge to take these with no change in me now this means that you can use begin you can use stopped well you can use continue with either ING or two plus infinity with no change in me alright so for example E again to rain or eat again rainy it started to rain or it started raining it continued to rain it continued raining is no changing meaning however if we look at these next birds do have a change meaning now what this means is that if we use remember stalled or try okay the meaning changes according to weather we have been ING a way that we have a two plus infinity now to explain this a little bit out let's have a look at some examples sought I remember buying chocolate I have a memory applying chocolate okay I have a memory applying chocolate that if I say I remembered to buy some chocolate it means that I reminded myself so there's a difference in meaning okay between remember buying and remembered to buy now he will see the other the with the examples with the change meaning stop for example I stopped eating chocolate idoney chocolate anymore a guy I have completely stopped eating chocolate I no longer eat it that if I say I stopped to eat some chocolate it means that I was doing something like giving this class and I stopped giving the class and I ate some chocolate okay so I stopped class to eat some chocolate to activities the first one idoney chocolate anymore second one is that I was doing something and I stopped at and I did something else so I stopped to E some chocolate and with this last the try I tried to call his office but the line was busy I made the effort to do it okay I tried to call is lot to call his office but the line was busy so I tried calling his mother but fun I X serenaded with the new method I tried a new method to get through to him so I tried calling his mother while will he sell but I'm so I tried to call that he wasn't day so I made the effort then I tried calling I experimented I tried calling his mother blow okay now that's all for this lesson thank you very much for watching now remember if you have any doubts or any questions just leave a comment below thanks a lot have a nice day
