  • - In this English lesson we are going to talk

  • about verb patterns and the difference

  • between the infinitive and the gerund.

  • I have a free gift for you,

  • so be sure to keep watching until the end.

  • When we use a sentence with two verbs,

  • the first verb dictates what form the second verb takes.

  • Now, if that is confusing for you,

  • take a look at these two examples.

  • I want to go there.

  • I want to go there.

  • I enjoy going there.

  • I enjoy going there.

  • So the first one, I want to go there,

  • shows you that after the verb want, we use the infinitive.

  • So you can say things like I want to go there.

  • I want to be there.

  • I want to see you.

  • I want to play football.

  • We also use the infinitive after want.

  • The second example shows you that after the verb enjoy,

  • we use the gerund, the I-N-G.

  • I enjoy going there.

  • I enjoy seeing her.

  • I enjoy playing football.

  • I have some good news and some bad news

  • at this stage of the lesson.

  • The bad news is this: there are no rules that tell you

  • which type of verbs to use your gerund with

  • or which types of verbs you need to use the infinitive.

  • The good news is that at To Fluency,

  • we do things differently.

  • We learn through the repetition of phrases.

  • And I have a method for you

  • that's going to help you with this.

  • And I also have a free gift

  • that will help you learn these sentences and phrases

  • so that you can internalize these types of patterns.

  • Let's look at some examples now using simple verbs

  • before we look at some more advanced uses.

  • So the first one is this: we decided to get the red car.

  • We decided to get the red car.

  • To get is the infinitive, and this tell us

  • that after the verb decide, we use the infinitive.

  • I avoided talking to him about it.

  • I avoided talking to him about it.

  • Talking is the gerund, so after the verb avoid,

  • we use the gerund.

  • Do you want to continue watching this lesson?

  • Now, in this example, you can see that we have

  • do you want to continue.

  • So after want, we use the infinitive, to continue.

  • But then after continue, we use the gerund.

  • To continue watching.

  • Do you want to continue watching this lesson?

  • With certain verbs we can use prepositions with them.

  • And when we do this,

  • we use the gerund after the preposition.

  • For example, I'm thinking about buying that red car.

  • I'm thinking about buying that red car.

  • So think about doing something.

  • I apologize for saying that.

  • I apologize for saying that.

  • Apologize for doing something.

  • The first example I gave

  • in this lesson was I want to go there,

  • but look at this example.

  • I want him to go there.

  • I want him to go there.

  • When you add in somebody else

  • or a pronoun into the sentence, that's how we construct it.

  • I want him to go there.

  • I want her to go there.

  • I want you to go there.

  • I want you to do it.

  • She asked me to give it to her.

  • She asked me to give it to her.

  • This is quite a complex sentence,

  • but if you learn sentences like this,

  • then your English will improve.

  • She asked me to give it to her.

  • Certain verbs have a different meaning

  • depending on which pattern you use.

  • And the most common example of this is the following:

  • I stopped smoking last year.

  • I stopped smoking last year.

  • This means that I quit smoking last year,

  • or I gave up smoking last year.

  • I stopped to smoke uses the infinitive,

  • and this tells somebody that you stopped doing something

  • to have a cigarette.

  • I was driving to work, but I stopped to smoke.

  • Additionally, it's important to know

  • that we use the same patterns

  • no matter what the first tense is.

  • For example, I want you to do it.

  • I wanted you to do it.

  • I'm going to want you to do it.

  • All of these are different tenses,

  • but they use the same pattern after that first verb.

  • Like I mentioned before, I have something for you.

  • It's a downloadable MP3 file that has 35 sentences

  • using different verb patterns.

  • So I'm going to include things

  • like the gerund versus the infinitive,

  • verbs with prepositions, different tenses,

  • and I'm also going to introduce verbs like let and make.

  • This is free to download.

  • And I'm going to give you the method that you can use

  • so that you can internalize this grammar

  • and improve your speaking at the same time.

  • All you need to do is to click over here

  • and enter your name and email address,

  • and I'll send it to you straightaway.

  • And if you want to learn more about verb patterns,

  • then be sure to check out the playlist over here.

  • Thank you so much for watching,

  • and please share this with anyone who would find it useful.

  • Bye for now.
