⌦ Verb + preposition + -ing

❪✓❫ He kept on working.
❪✘❫ He kept on to work.
❪✓❫ We thought of inviting Max.
❪✘❫ We thought of to invite Max.

➥ When a verb is followed by a preposition, the verb that follows it is usually in the ‑ing form.

💡 Look at these examples:
¬ He dreamed of becoming an actor.
¬ She carried on talking.
¬ She insisted on walking all the way.

⌦ Where to put the preposition

❪✓❫ I gave the money to Marc.
❪✘❫ I gave to Marc the money.
❪✓❫ I bought a toy for the child.
❪✘❫ I bought for the child a toy.

When you use a verb with two objects, you should put the preposition and the indirect object after the
direct object.

⌦ I suggest/recommend that you …

❪✓❫ I suggest that you go to London.
❪✘❫ I suggest you to go to London.
❪✓❫ I recommend that you take the train.
❪✘❫ I recommend you to take the train.

Do not say that you suggest/recommend someone to do something. Say that you suggest/recommend
that they do something.

⌦ Verbs + it

❪✓❫ I hate it when you laugh at me.
❪✘❫ I hate when you laugh at me.
❪✓❫ I would appreciate it if you could reply soon.
❪✘❫ I would appreciate if you could reply soon.

Verbs such as like, hate, dislike, and love (which are used to say how you feel about an event or a situation), need the word it when they are followed by when or if.
However, you do not use it when you follow one of these verbs with an infinitive verb or an ‑ing
verb:

❪✓❫ I like walking in the park.
❪✘❫ I like it walking in the park.
❪✓❫ I like to see my friends.
❪✘❫ I like it to see my friends.

You should also use it with find in sentences about your experiences:
¬ I found it difficult to get to know him.
¬ She found it amusing to watch us struggle.

⌫ أخطاء في استخدام افعال الربط 
Linking verb + adjective

مع أفعال الربط مثل be، seem، look، smell، taste، نستخدم صفة (adjective) لوصف الحالة أو الشخص، وليس ظرفًا (adverb).



❪✓❫ It tastes good.
❪✘❫ It tastes well.
❪✓❫ She looked sad.
❪✘❫ She looked sadly.

القاعدة هي أن الأفعال التالية تُستخدم معها الصفات، وليس الظروف، لأن الهدف هو وصف الحالة أو المظهر، وليس كيفية حدوث الفعل.
