So let's take a look at the note here. All right. So this is the pattern you should follow. Succeed in plus verb ING. So succeed in doing something. Okay. Let's look at the first example here. With the X of course, that's wrong or incorrect. He succeeded to make his business profitable. I could almost hear this I'll even buy a native sometimes but it's really technically not right. Definitely by students. So you should say here with the check. He succeeded in making his business profitable. The verb + ING. You succeed in doing something. All right. The next one with the X. She succeeded to become a big star in Hollywood. Again that's wrong with the X. With the check, this is correct. She succeeded in becoming a big star in Hollywood. Again verb + ing and the last one here. Again with the X, this is wrong. The police succeeded to capture that criminal. No. You should say the police succeeded in capturing that criminal. Again succeed in plus verb ING. And I hope you got it. I hope it was clear. Thank you for your time. Bye-bye.
