The 2nd verb : infinite or 'verb + I
Message de nonof posté le 30-03-2005 à 11:41:24 (S | E | F | I)
Hello,
It is me again...
I have another question for you.
When must we use "verb + ING" with the second verb?
I explain.
I think we say : "I like playing football". The second verb is "play + ING".
I think we say too : "I want to play football". The second verb is an infinite verb "play".
When must we use the infinite form with the second verb??
And, when must we use the "verb + ING" form with the second verb??
Is there a link with the context? with the first verb? with the fact that the second verb is a "action"?
Thank you in advance.
Bets regards.

Mais non nonof, ce n'est pas difficile !
Ne t'inquiète pas, je ne maîtrise pas encore vraiment ces sujets mais il suffit d'apprendre la liste des verbes et aussi, de faire beaucoup d'exercices. Ensuite, il me semble que notre oreille est capable -comme en français- de reconnaître la justesse d'une structure. Si l'on te dit :
I enjoy to play, je suis certaine que celà te choquera...
Désolée pour l'anglais !
