That's what power from Italy wants to know.

And that's what we're talking about on this learners questions.

Okay, speaking in general, where you have a verb, a noun or an adjective, which is followed by a proposition, the verb that follows that proposition is usually an I N G.

For example.

Please sit down without speaking, or I'm interested in learning to speak English.

As you might say now, too can be part of an infinitive verb.

But you asked for two as a proposition, and so I hope you'll find the following phrase is useful.

Our first is look forward to plus I n g and this means that you are eager for something toe happen often in the future.

You often see it on letters.

So, for example, dear sir, I look forward to hearing from you yours faithfully.

Then next we have the verb admit you admit to doing something and this means that you tell the truth.

Usually about a crime or something bad that you have done for example.

Yes, yes, yes.

I admit to being the best English teacher that I can be.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Next is the verb object.

You can object to doing something.

This means that you dislike, disapprove or oppose the thing being talked about.

For example, I object to people throwing litter in the streets.

It's very irresponsible.

Stop doing it.

Next is be used to doing something.

If you are used to doing something, it's not new, unusual or strange for you.

You are experienced in it.

For example, I'm used to having a nice cup of tea before I leave for work and at work, actually, and off to work.

You know, I just like T.

Okay, let's take a break for a second so I can tell you all about the learner's questions.

Next, we can talk about preferred doing something to doing something else, and this is useful when we want to compare our general likes and interests.

So, for example, I prefer cycling to running.

I prefer eating crisps to eating chocolate on dhe.

I prefer teaching English to learning it.

Next.

Let's talk about get round to plus I N G.

If you get round to doing something, it means that you do it, but only after a long period where you wanted to.

But you couldn't.

For example, I have finally got round to making this video for power from Italy.

Hi, Paula.

It's also worth mentioning a couple of times when two is not a proposition, and so is followed by an infinitive verb.

Firstly, after certain verbs because of a verb pattern, for example, want need or would like I would like to go.

I want to go.

I need to go another time is generally after an adjective.

We use a full infinitive, for example.

I'm happy to see you.

Hello.
