Slide 1: What are verb patterns?

Verb patterns describe how verbs connect to other verb forms, such as to-infinitives or gerunds. Knowing patterns helps accuracy and fluency in English.

2

Slide 2: Verb + to-infinitive

Many verbs are followed by to-infinitives: want to go, need to study, prefer to wait. The meaning changes with the pattern.

3

Slide 3: Verb + -ing (gerund)

Some verbs are followed by gerunds: enjoy playing, avoid rushing, mind waiting. Gerunds function as nouns in sentences.

4

Slide 4: Verb + object + to-infinitive

Some verbs take an object plus to-infinitive: ask him to help, tell them to arrive, force us to leave.


Example: The teacher asked the students to open their books.

The coach encouraged the players to practice every day.

The doctor advised him to drink more water.

5

Slide 5: Verb + object + -ing

Other verbs use object + gerund: enjoy doing, consider moving, recommend studying.

Examples:

I saw my brother playing soccer.

We watched the children dancing at the party.

I caught my dog sleeping on the sofa.

6

Slide 6: Would rather / would prefer

We say would rather + base form (no to): would rather go. Would prefer works similarly: would prefer to stay.


Examples: She would rather read a book than watch TV.

They would rather play soccer after school.

I would prefer to study at night.

She would prefer to travel by plane.

7

Slide 7: Used to vs be used to

Used to describe past habits: used to play. Be used to and get used to mean habit now: am used to driving, getting used to studying.

8

Slide 8: Get used to / be used to

Be/get used to + -ing indicates familiarity: getting used to it, be used to speaking. Practice with real examples.


Examples: I am used to waking up early for school.

She is used to studying English every day.

They are used to living in a small town.

9

Slide 9: Remember, forget, regret

These verbs can shift meaning with to-infinitive or -ing. Remember to call (remember to do something); remember calling (remember a past action).


EXAMPLE: I remember meeting my English teacher for the first time.

She remembers visiting her grandparents last year.

Slide 10: Quick practice tips

Tip: listing verbs by pattern helps memory. Create flashcards, make sentences, and practice with real conversations to solidify verb patterns.
