Grammar: verb patterns - gerunds and infinitives

p. 73 part 9 - choose the correct option to complete each verb phrase
1 involve doing
2 require someone to do / require doing
3 worry about doing
4 make someone do
5 tend to do
6 discourage someone from doing
encourage someone to do, motivate someone to do, persuade someone to do
prevent someone from doing, prohibit someone from doing, forbid someone from doing

(The causatives make, have, let, and help are followed by the object and base form of the verb.)

abhor = hate/detest
---
verbs can be followed by gerund or infinitive (or object + infinitive)
prepositions can only be followed by gerunds
nouns and adjectives are usually followed by infinitives
	(It’s nice to meet you. I’m happy to meet you.)
---
part 11 - Complete these sentences about sports injuries using the correct verb forms (sometimes you also need to add a preposition).
1 about suffering, to be - swimming
2 damaging, getting - running
3 on using, to have - tennis
4 to warm, from occurring - soccer
5 on bending, to raise - cycling
What sport is each sentence about?
---
Some verbs change pattern depending on whether there’s an object:
require doing / require someone to do
permit doing / permit someone to do
allow doing / allow someone to do
advise doing / advise someone to do
urge doing / urge someone to do
