清楚解釋gerunds and infinitves

1)Gerunds

呢個即係o係某d字之後, 動詞 (verbs) 要自動轉做-ing form (without is/am/are)

e.g. : I like .

"like&q uot;就係要用gerunds啦. 咁另外仲有d常見o既字o既,

例如: enjoy, hate, dislike, suggest, subject to, be used to, it's worth,

look forward to, begin...etc.



2)Infinitives -

a) TO - infinitives

呢個係o係某d字後要用動詞 + to 啦.

e.g. : I refused her.

其他o既字有:

agree, promise, beg, would like, suppose, ask, tell...etc.



b) BARE - infinitives

呢個就係你所講o既"let&qu ot;啦。呢一隻呢,就係動詞唔轉o既。

e.g. The boy told his mom," just let me this time."

咁呢一種就有4個字會咁用,就係let, make, hear & see.



*hear 同埋 see 可以變做gerunds~!

如果想強調一個動作(我見倒有個人o係條街度喊呀),

咁我o地就會話:

i saw someone crying in the street.
1) Gerunds : verb + ing
i. A gerund is a verbal noun. (即如果一個動詞在句子中作名詞使用，便要轉作Gerund。較常見的例子，是在句子開端部分的動詞，一定是一個Gerund，因為它擔當了句子中Subject的位置。)
e.g. Eating is my favourite hobby. (句子中eating佔了subject的位置)
My favourite hobby is eating. (句子中eating佔了object的位置)

ii. When a verb comes after a preposition, its gerund is used. (緊記！除to以外，所有在preposition之後的動詞，一律作Gerund使用！)
e.g. Mr. Mo is good at eating.
Mr. Mo always sleeps after eating.

iii. When 'to' is used as a preposition, the verb after it should be changed into a gerund. (以下四種to的用法，之後的動詞需轉用Gerund！)
e.g I look forward to hearing from you.
I object to writing journals.
I used to helping the others.
I prefer writing journals to doing SAL handbook.
* (I prefer writing / to write journals.)

iv. The gerund must be used after certain verbs and expressions.

2) Infinitives : to + verb
i. It is + adjective + infinitive
e.g. It is easy to understand gerunds and infinitives.

ii. too + adjective + infinitive
e.g. It is too easy to remember the grammatical rules.

iii. adjective/adverb + enough + infinitive
e.g. I am clever enough to get full marks in the Module Quiz.

iv. after ordinal numbers (在講第…之後的動詞)
e.g. I am the first / second / last to win the game.
.
v. Infinitives must be used after certain verbs.
agreechoosedecidefai lhavehope
learnneedplanpromise wantwish

* let要轉Gerund(+ing)，原因是
ii. When a verb comes after a preposition (for), its gerund is used.
