For example, the verb want is commonly used in this way:I want to go home.verb 1 verb 2Only the first verb in the string is finite (has tense and subject-verb agreement). The second verb must be in a non-finite form, and this can be difficult for learners as there is more than one non-finite form of the verb which can be used. Commonly the form used is to + infinitive, as in the example above. However, there are some common verbs which require the -ing (present participle) form of the verb to be used in the second verb, instead of the base form. For example, the verb enjoy is commonly used in this way:She enjoys dancing.verb 1 verb 2There are also some verbs such as stop which can be used in both patterns, but with different meanings. (we shall study these in the next lesson).Here is a list of some of the common verbs used only in the pattern:verb 1 (finite) + verb 2 (-ing form)Verbs followed by the -ing formdelayfancypostponeconsideradmitfinishimagineavoiddenyriskpractiseput offtake upgive upkeepcontinuecarry onmindregretsuggestHere is a list of some of the common verbs used only in the pattern:verb 1 (finite) + verb 2 (to + infinitive)Verbs followed by to + infinitivemanagedecidehopedeserveofferagreeplanaimthreatenrefusearrangelearnfailwould likeaskExercise: -ing or to + infinitive?In this exercise you select which is the best form of the verb to use - the -ing form or to + infinitive.1.
