- Grammar: gerunds and infinitives
- gerund = verb+ing, used like a noun
- This class is confusing. - “confusing” = adjective
- The teacher is confusing me. - “confusing” = present participle (in present continuous tense)
- The teacher enjoys confusing his students. - “confusing” = gerund (object of the verb “enjoy”)
- Gerunds can be the object of a verb. (enjoy doing, imagine doing, dislike doing, like doing, love doing)
- Gerunds can be the object of a preposition. (I worry about failing. I’m thinking of doing something new.)
- Gerunds can be the subject. (Falling can be very painful. Smoking is unhealthy. His singing is annoying.)
- (Because they are like nouns, gerunds can have possessives before them.)
- infinitive = to + base form
- Infinitives can be the object of a verb. (like to do, love to do, want to do, expect to do)
- Infinitives can come after adjectives. (It’s important to study. I’m pleased to meet you.)
- Infinitives can give the purpose of an action. (I went to the store to buy milk. I dance to feel young.)
- ---
- Sometimes “to” is a preposition, not part of an infinitive: I look forward to meeting them.
- ---
- part 8 - Complete the sentences with the correct form of the verb, and then check with your partner and share whether the statements are true about you.
- 1 doing (enjoy + gerund)
- 2 Painting (subject = gerund)
- 3 to be (“hard” is an adjective)
- 4 changing (imagine + gerund)
- 5 to learn (“old” is an adjective, too… + infinitive)
- 6 to play (learn + infinitive)
- 7 trying (“about” is a preposition)
- 8 to find (seem + infinitive)
- ---
- p. 158 practice 2 - Choose the correct form to complete each sentence
- 1 to meet / meeting
- 2 to listen (“cheerful” is an adjective)
- 3 seeing (enjoy + gerund)
- 4 to visit (want + infinitive)
- 5 Acting (subject)
- 6 telling (“at” is a preposition)
- 7 to buy (need + infinitive)
- 8 being (remember + gerund = a real action that happened in the past)
