Verbals: Gerunds, Participles, and Infinitives

Presentation transcript:

 When a verb ends in -ing, it may be a gerund or a present participle. It is important to understand that they are not the same.  When we use a verb in -ing form more like a noun, it is usually a gerund: Fishing is fun.  When we use a verb in -ing form more like a verb or an adjective, it is usually a present participle: Anthony is fishing.

Like nouns, gerunds can be the subject, object or complement of a sentence: - Smoking costs a lot of money. - I don't like writing. - My favourite occupation is reading.

If we want to use a verb after a preposition, it must be a gerund. So for example, we say:  I will call you after arriving at the office.  Please have a drink before leaving.  I am looking forward to meeting you.  Do you object to working late?  Tara always dreams about going on holiday.

 We sometimes use one verb after another verb. Often the second verb is in the infinitive form, for example: I want to eat.  But sometimes the second verb must be in gerund form, if the first verbs are certain verbs. for example:certain verbs I dislike eating.

 She is considering having a holiday.  Do you feel like going out?  I can’t help falling in love with you.  I can’t stand seeing you.

Verbs Followed by a Gerund “They enjoyed working on the boat”. admit advise appreciate avoid can't help complete consider can’t stand delay deny detest dislike enjoy escape excuse Feel like finish forbid get through have imagine mind miss permit postpone practice quit recall report resent resist resume risk spend (time) suggest tolerate waste (time)
