Infinitives of Purpose  We often use infinitives to explain why we are doing something.  This type of infinitive is called an Infinitive of Purpose.  Why do you study English?  I am studying English to get a good job.  = I am studying English because I want to get a good job.

Gerunds + Infinitives  Why are you studying English?  Use an infinitive of purpose to explain why.  I’m studying English…  I’m studying English to ______________

Gerunds + Infinitives  We also use infinitives to explain how we feel about something.  S + be + emotion adjective + infinitive  I am happy to help you.  I am sad to say that you failed.  She will be excited to learn that you will marry her!

GERUNDS

Gerunds + Infinitives  A gerund is a verb that has been changed to a noun by adding “ING”.  Walk (verb)  Walking (noun)  Eat (verb)  Eating (noun)

Gerunds + Infinitives  A gerund is different from the progressive forms of verbs.  You can see that it is not progressive because there isn’t the verb BE in front.  I love walking.  (Gerund)  I am walking.  (Present progressive.)  It has “am” in front)

Gerunds + Infinitives  A gerund can be a subject or an object.  I hate walking. (the gerund is an OBJECT)  Smoking is unhealthy. (the gerund is a SUBJECT)

Gerunds + Infinitives  If you have a verb after a preposition, you are WRONG! Change the verb to a GERUND to keep your grammar correct.  I am thinking of walk.  I am thinking of walking.

Gerunds + Infinitives  Why? Please remember that a prepositional phrase ENDS with a noun!  You cannot put a verb inside a prepositional phrase!  I am thinking of walk.  I am thinking of walking.  I am asking about studying.  I forgot about asking the teacher.

Gerunds + Infinitives  Think about what you’re doing after school.  Tell your partner what sport you’re thinking of. “I’m thinking of…”  Did you say “I’m thinking of ______ing?”

Participle Clauses  As you saw last week, we often use gerunds in participle clauses.  Because I was sick, I couldn’t go.  Being sick, I couldn’t go.

Perfect Forms  We use these to discuss the PAST PERFECT  (had + pp).  I had been sick, so I was confused for the quiz.  Having been sick, I was confused for the quiz.  I hadn’t studied. I did very poorly.  Not having studied, I did very poorly.

Adding the object  We can show the OBJECT by changing it to:  Being + past participle  Having been + past participle  I had broken the necklace, so I couldn’t give it to her. The dog had broken it.  The necklace having been broken by my dog, I couldn’t give it to her.  We ate all of the cake. We felt very sick.  The cake finally being eaten, we felt very sick.

Gerunds + Infinitives  MOST IMPORTANTLY:

Gerunds + Infinitives  Some verbs are ALWAYS followed by a gerund or infinitive!  You must know these verbs. They are very important for good grammar!  I avoid talking to her.  I decided to leave early.

Gerunds + Infinitives  You can study these on my WEBSITE.  I avoid talking to her.  I decided to leave early.

Gerunds + Infinitives  Finally, some verbs are always followed by an object and infinitive. This can be very confusing for some students.  I asked him to help me.  I hired the plumber to fix my toilet.  I taught my dog to get the newspaper.

Gerunds + Infinitives  The pattern is:  S + V + O + infinitive  We use this to show that we made someone else do something for us.  I asked him to help me.  I hired the plumber to fix my toilet.  I taught my dog to get the newspaper.
