TEST https://english03.ru/test2/u52-to-ing... This video is about an unusual approach to the topic of where and how to correctly use the infinitive and gerund after verbs. The idea was suggested by Christian on the 'Kangaroo English' channel in his video 'To or -ing'. There are sentences when one verb is followed by another verb. For example: I like to dance. He is thirsty. etc. And then, in English, the second verb can be an infinitive or gerund (-ing form). The traditional approach to this topic is to give lists of verbs followed by an infinitive or gerund and ask you to remember them. It is difficult to remember such lists, and therefore, in this video lesson, we will try to understand WHY native speakers say the infinitive in one case and the gerund in another. What do they follow, how do they feel it. And then we will practice with examples. The infinitive can be expressed by an arrow that goes into the future. There is an action with a beginning, development and all this in the future. “I want to dance.” I want to dance. (infinitive). The gerund is similar to a long process or a noun. How to say it correctly? I want to dance. Or I want dancing. Or are both options correct? It turns out that in English you can’t say: I want dancing. After 'want' you only put the infinitive. Because if I want to do or make something, then I want to do an action that will have a beginning and it will be in the future. But if instead of 'want' we say 'enjoy', then the correct answer will be 'I enjoy dancing. ' Only -ing! Because "enjoy" is happening now, you can enjoy either some process - "dancing" or the noun "dancing". Moreover, we express our attitude to dancing in principle. Remember that after 'enjoy' there will only be the -ing form. You will find other examples and detailed explanations in this video lesson. https://english03.ru/unit52-gerund-in...
