21/09/2018

2. verbs, adjectives or prepositions
Review
In English there are situations where some
verbs, adjectives or prepositions
Require either a gerund or an infinitive with or without ‘to’.
Example:
Nadia wants to go to the library again.
She enjoys reading fables.
She is always busy looking for fanciful story books.
She blames us for not reading enough.
Her mother gives her money and lets her buy books.

3. the gerund and the Infinitive
However, there are cases where both
the gerund and the Infinitive
are required after certain verbs such as:
Start, like, begin, forget, continue and so on
All eventually depends on what we want to say and how we want to express it.
- She started reading a new story.
- She started to read a new story.
