Verb + Object + Infinitive
 a) Want ask expect help mean (= intend) would like
would prefer

There are two possible structrures after these verbs:

S + verb + to + infinitive S + verb + object + to + infinitive


Ex: I asked to see the manager. Ex: I asked Tom to help me.
We expected to be late. We expected him to be late.
He would like to come. He would like me to come.

 After help you can use the infinitive with or
without “to”:
- Can somebody help me (to) move this
table?
 Be especially careful with want. Do not say 'want

that...’:
-Everyone wanted him to win the race. (not
'wanted that he won")
-Do you want me to come early? (not 'want
that I come")
Tell force invite enable teach (how)
b) Persuade get (- persuade) remin order warn

better, Have to,
and Must
There is a small difference between
how we use the semi-modal verb had
better compared to other modal verbs
like have to/must or should. 

9
Should, Had better, Have
to, and Must
had better = used should = used for
for strong advice give advice (not as
strong as the
words above)
have to = used for
must = used for
strong advice,
strong advice,
obligations, and rules
obligation, and rules

Note: Had better is used to give strong advice. However, had better is only


used when there is the threat (risk) of danger if you do not follow the
advice. Here are some examples. 10
Positive
sentences
• You had better brush your teeth. 
(The danger: If you don’t, may have teeth problems.)
• You have to brush your teeth. 
(This is an obligation. It doesn’t suggest a danger.)

11
• You must brush your teeth. 
(This is an obligation. It doesn’t suggest a danger.)
• You should brush your teeth.
(This is just advice. You are saying it would be a good idea.)
Negative Sentences:
You must not touch the alligator.
 (This is a rule.)
You do not have to touch the alligator. 
(The modal have to in a negative
sentence means something is not necessary
(but still an option). It doesn’t make sense
here.) 13
You should not the alligator.
 (This is advice)
You had better not totouchuch the
alligator.
 (The danger: If you do, it will bite you.)

14
Note: Because had better is
used only when there
is a risk of danger, it
is not natural to use
it when nothing bad
will happen if the
advice isn’t followed.

Part 2: Reflexive Pronouns
A reflexive pronoun is a specific type of pronoun
that is used for the object of a verb when it
refers to the same noun as the subject of that
verb. In English, these are the pronouns that end
with “­self” or “­selves”: e.g., “himself,”
“myself,” “ourselves,” etc.
17
18
19
The following can be considered a rule with
regards to reflexive pronouns:
If the object and the subject of a verb
are the same, use a reflexive pronoun for the
object. Otherwise, do not use one.

20
herself
herself
myself
ourselves
21

A tag question is a special construction in
English. It is a statement followed by a
mini-question. We use tag questions to ask
for confirmation. They mean something
like: "Is that right?" or "Do you agree?"
They are very common in English.
