VERB PATTERNS

week 6 by Miss Ima

 + Gerund (Ving)

S + Verb + ……

+ to infinitive (V1)
Sometimes in a sentence, one verb followed by another verb. For example,
I want to buy a car. The first verb is ‘want’ the second verb is ’buy’.

There are possible patterns in sentence like this. For example:

a. I want to buy a car

b. I hate driving

In sentence ‘a’ followed by an infinitive (V1)

In sentence ‘b’ followed by a gerund (V-ing)
The verb pattern are dependent upon the first verb
There are several different types of verb pattern, and each pattern can
have a different meaning
REMEMBER IN A SENTENCE, THERE WILL BE ONLY ONE VERB, SO IF YOU WANT TO
MAKE TWO VERBS IN ONE SENTENCE, YOU HAVE TO CHOOSE WHETHER YOU’RE
GOING TO USE “TO+V1” OR “VING”.

 In Bahasa Indonesia you can say “SAYA INGIN MEMBELI ROTI”

Subject Verb Verb Object

 However, in English you CAN’T say “I WANT BUY A BREAD” because

the CORRECT one is “I WANT TO BUY A BREAD”.
 One more example:
 In Bahasa Indonesia, you can say “SAYA MENIKMATI BERMAIN DI LAPANGAN INI”
S V V Adv
 In English you CAN’T say “I ENJOY PLAY IN THIS FIELD” because the correct one is “I ENJOY
PLAYING IN THIS FIELD.

A: Wait wait wait, the first one you use to V1, but here you use Ving??????? WHY?????
B: There are some words if you find TWO VERBS in one sentence must be followed by to V1
and some of them are followed by Ving.
A: How do we know that?
B: By remembering all that words  , as the time goes by you will know which verbs are
followed by to V1 and which ones are followed by Ving. The key success is READ, READ, and
READ.
Remember, you only change the second Verb, not the first one/ yang kalian rubah adalah
VERB yang kedua, bukan yang pertama. Look at the first verb, after that you can decide
whether you use to V1 or Ving.
