verb patterns: verb + infinitive

verb + infinitive

let's learn

WHEN WE USE TWO VERBS TOGETHER, WE NEED TO USE THE RIGHT FORM FOR THE SECOND VERB. .

WE USE AN INFINITIVE AFTER SOME VERBS. THESE VERBS OFTEN (BUT NOT ALWAYS) PREFER TO PLANS FOR THE FUTURE

EXAMPLES:

want to hope to plan to like to

WANT TO......

need to intend to

VERB + INFINITIVE

  • I want to go to the movies tonight.
  • I hope to see you tomorrrow
  • we're planning to move next year
  • she'd like to visit the U.S.
  • My parents need to buy a new car.
  • I intend to join a gym.

The verb BEGIN/BEGAN and START/STARTED can be followed by an infinitive or the ING. The meaning is the same.

'd/would like to= want 'd love to

The full form of "'d" like is WOUD LIKE. It means the same as WANT, but it is more polite.

*I'd like to see your house. *Would you like to come on vacation with me?

We can also say 'd love / would love + infinitive

  • I 'd love to go to Australia one day.
  • Would you like to go to the beach today? Yes,I'd love to.

We use both an infinitive and the -ING form after LIKE and LOVE. The meaning is different from 'D LIKE / 'D LOVE .

  • we like to travel .
  • we like travelling
  • We 'd like to go to Australia next year

We use both an infinitive and the -ING form after LIKE and LOVE. The meaning is different from 'D LIKE / 'D LOVE .

  • I love to play/
  • I love playing soccer.
  • I'd love to play for Real Madrid one day.
