FORMS

When you want to join two sentences, you might use a Relative Pronoun. It works when the two sentences share one part, for example:

  • I met your brother at the supermarket.
  • Your brother is very friendly.
The final sentence using a relative pronoun would be:
  • I met your brother, WHO is very friendly, at the supermarket.
The BLUE part is called the relative clause. The BLUE BOLD word is the relative pronoun.

What is a Gerund?

A GERUND is a noun made from a verb by adding "-ing." The gerund form of the verb "read" is "reading." You can use a gerund as the subject, the complement, or the object of a sentence. Examples: Reading helps you learn English. (Gerund = Subject of sentence) Her favorite hobby is reading. (Gerund = Complement of sentence) I enjoy reading. (Gerund = Object of sentence)

Verbs + INF / ING

What is an Infinitive?

INFINITIVES are the "to" form of the verb. The infinitive form of "learn" is "to learn." You can also use an infinitive as the subject, the complement, or the object of a sentence. Examples: To learn is important. (Infinitive = Subject of sentence) The most important thing is to learn. (Infinitive = Complement of sentence) He wants to learn. (Infinitive = Object of sentence)

Negative Gerunds

Gerunds can be made negative by adding "not." Examples: He enjoys not working. The best thing for your health is not smoking.

Negative Infinitives

Infinitives can be made negative by adding "not." Examples: I decided not to go. The most important thing is not to give up

Verbs + GERUNDS

Some verbs are followed by GERUNDS as objects. She suggested going to a movie. Mary keeps talking about her problems. Like, love, enjoy, adore, fancy, feel like, detest, hate, loathe, can’t stand, dislike, don’t mind, finish, avoid, give up, keep, suggest, consider, miss, imagine, it’s not worth, it’s/there’s no use, there’s no point (in)

Verbs + INFINITIVES

Some verbs are followed by INFINITIVES. She wants to go to a movie. Mary needs to talk about her problems. Afford, agree, ask, choose, help, hope, want, intend, pretend, promise, expect, prefer, used

Subjects or Complements

Both GERUNDS and INFINITIVES can be used as the SUBJECT or the COMPLEMENT of a sentence. However, as subjects or complements, gerunds usually sound more like normal, spoken English, whereas infinitives sound more abstract. In the following sentences, gerunds sound more natural and would be more common in everyday English. Infinitives emphasize the possibility or potential for something and sound more philosophical. If this sounds confusing, just remember that 90% of the time, you will use a gerund as the subject or complement of a sentence. Examples: Learning is important. normal subject To learn is important. abstract subject - less common The most important thing is learning. normal complement The most important thing is to learn. abstract complement - less common

Verbs + INF / ING (= meaning)

Some verbs can be followed by a GERUND or an INFINITIVE. No change in meaning These can be used with either a gerund or an infinitive with no real change in meaning. Start, begin, continue, attempt, intend, be accustomed to, be committed to, can’t bear Examples: The audience started to clap when the performance finished The audience started clapping when the performance finished

Verbs + INF / ING (different meaning)

Some verbs can be followed by a gerund or an infinitive. A change in meaning Try, stop, regret, remember, forget, mean, go on Try

  • I tried to open the window, but it was stuck. (I couldn’t do it as it was too difficult)
  • It was hot, so I tried opening the window. (I did it as an experiment to see if some fresh air would help)
Stop
  • I stopped the car to get some petrol. (Purpose)

Mean

It will mean going to the library more often. (Involve / this is the result)

Prepositions + GERUNDS

There are many "adjective + preposition" combinations and "noun + preposition" combinations in English as well. These are also followed by gerunds. You just need to remember that gerunds are used after prepositions! Examples: Sandy is scared of flying. adjective + preposition Nick is anxious about taking the examination. adjective + preposition His interest in becoming a professional snowboarder was well known. noun + preposition Thomas' story about seeing a grizzly bear was really exciting. noun + preposition Good/wonderful/fantastic/bad/awful/terrible at Happy/pleased/glad/anxious/sad/worried about Afraid/frightened/scared/terrified of … Interested in …, Keen on …, Capable of …, Proud of There are many "verb + preposition" combinations.
