Verbs Followed by Gerunds & Infinitives.pdf
189.1 KB
❇️In English, if you want to follow a verb with another action, you must use a gerund or infinitive.
⭕️For example:
1️⃣We resumed talking. (gerund – verb + ing)
2️⃣I want to see a movie. (infinitive – to + base verb)
❇️There are certain verbs that can only be followed by one or the other, and these verbs must be memorized. Many of these verbs are listed in the PDF file I have uploaded!🀩
