When to use GERUND (ing) and TO infinitive (to) 😎
Summary
TLDREn este video tutorial, Lara de Linguist aborda un tema complicado para estudiantes de inglés en todos los niveles: los patrones verbales cuando dos verbos aparecen juntos en una oración. Se discuten dos patrones principales: los verbos seguidos de gerundio y los verbos seguidos de infinitivo. Lara explica cuándo se debe transformar el segundo verbo y cómo determinar si se debe usar gerundio o infinitivo, utilizando verbos como 'enjoy', 'need', 'want' y 'regret'. Además, se practica con verbos que pueden ser seguidos por ambos, sin cambio de significado, y aquellos que cambian completamente de significado. El objetivo es familiarizarse con estos patrones y mejorar la comprensión y el uso del inglés.
Takeaways
- 😀 En la lección de hoy, Lara de Linguist se enfoca en los patrones de verbos cuando dos verbos aparecen juntos en una oración.
- 😉 Las oraciones 'I enjoy travel' y 'I need study' son incorrectas y se deben transformar a 'I enjoy traveling' y 'I need to study'.
- 🤔 Para saber si el segundo verbo necesita un gerundio o un infinitivo, es importante prestar atención al primer verbo, que actúa como 'el capitán' y guía la elección del segundo verbo.
- 📚 Algunos verbos siempre se siguen de un gerundio, como 'enjoy', 'avoid', 'consider', 'imagine' y 'fancy'.
- 📚 Otros verbos siempre se siguen de un infinitivo con 'to', como 'need', 'want', 'deserve' y 'learn'.
- 🌟 Algunos verbos pueden ser seguidos tanto por gerundio como por infinitivo sin cambiar de significado, como 'love', 'hate', 'like' y 'dislike'.
- 🌟 Al usar gerundios, se enfatiza la acción en general, mientras que al usar infinitivos, se enfatizan preferencias específicas sobre la acción.
- 🚫 Verbos como 'stop', 'remember', 'forget' y 'regret' pueden ser seguidos tanto por gerundio como por infinitivo, pero con un cambio total de significado.
- 🚫 'Stop' con gerundio significa dejar de hacer algo, mientras que con infinitivo significa pausar una acción para hacer otra y luego continuar.
- 🚫 'Remember' y 'forget' con gerundio se refieren a recordar situaciones pasadas, mientras que con infinitivo se refieren a recordar tareas que se deben hacer.
- 🚫 'Regret' con gerundio significa sentirse arrepentido de algo que sucedió en el pasado, mientras que con infinitivo se usa para dar malas noticias.

Outlines
😀 Verbos con gerundios y infinitivos
En el primer párrafo, Lara de Linguist presenta un tema complicado para los estudiantes de inglés: los patrones de verbos cuando dos verbos aparecen juntos en una oración. Explica que algunas frases como 'I enjoy travel' y 'I need study' no son correctas y deben transformarse a 'I enjoy traveling' y 'I need to study'. Se enfatiza la importancia de transformar el segundo verbo en función del primer verbo. Lara también menciona que algunos verbos siempre están seguidos de gerundio y otros siempre de infinitivo, y que es esencial aprender cuáles son cuáles para usarlos correctamente en el inglés.
😄 Verbos que aceptan gerundios y infinitivos sin cambiar de significado
El segundo párrafo se enfoca en los verbos que pueden ser seguidos tanto por gerundios como por infinitivos sin que esto cambie el significado de la oración. Ejemplos de estos verbos incluyen 'love', 'hate', 'like', 'dislike', y 'prefer'. Lara explica que, aunque ambos opciones son gramaticalmente correctos, el uso del gerundio puede enfatizar la acción en general, mientras que el infinitivo puede enfocarse en una preferencia específica. Además, se proporciona una breve explicación sobre cómo elegir entre los dos en contextos naturales.
😉 Verbos que cambian de significado con gerundios e infinitivos
En el tercer párrafo, Lara aborda los verbos que pueden ser seguidos tanto por gerundios como por infinitivos, pero con un cambio total de significado. Verbos como 'stop', 'remember', 'forget' y 'regret' son discutidos en detalle. Por ejemplo, 'stop drinking coffee' implica dejar de hacer algo, mientras que 'stop to drink coffee' significa pausar una acción para hacer otra y luego continuar. 'Remember to wash your hands' es una tarea pendiente, mientras que 'remember washing your hands' recuerda una acción pasada. Los verbos 'forget' y 'regret' funcionan de manera similar. Lara invita a los estudiantes a practicar estos verbos y a revisar una lista de los más comunes en la caja de descripción del video.

hi everyone I'm Lara from linguist and
in today's lesson we're going to see and
practice something that is quite tricky
for learners in general of any level
verb patterns when two verbs appear
together in a sentence look at these two
sentences can you help me identify the
two verbs that appeared together
sentence a I enjoy travel enjoy the
number one travel verb number two I
enjoy travel is this sentence correct no
it's not
sentence B
I need study I need the number one study
there number two I need study is this
correct unfortunately it's not but Lara
what should i do then when two verbs
appear together well you should
transform the second verb English is
weird and that's exactly what this
lesson today will be all about will
focus on the transformation of those
verbs appearing in the second position
to do so we'll see two main verb
patterns verbs followed by gerund and
verbs followed by two infinitive
but before we get done to work subscribe
to our channel in Gomes if you haven't
done it yet
and activate the notifications to be
updated with our latest videos now keep
watching this video till the end because
you'll be able to practice everything
you've learned in this lesson
and now let's go back to our previous
sentences I enjoy travel I need study we
said before that the second verb had to
be transformed right okay the right
option would be I enjoy traveling and I
need to study and Laura how can I know
when the second verb needs a gerund or
to infinitive to know
which of the two options gerund or
infinitive is correct
you need to focus on the one imagined
verb one is the ship's captain and verb
two has to obey the captain
so you're telling me that I have to
focus on verb 1 and I'll know what I
have to do with verb to correct now we
said before the verb number one gives
you information about bird number two
right well some verbs are always
followed by gerund and some verbs are
always followed by to infinitive now
we're going to practice using both and
getting familiar with which verbs those
are so some verbs are always followed by
gerund the means every time you see one
of these verbs in position one that too
will be a gerund this is the case of the
verb enjoy when you continue it with an
adverb it needs to be a gerund I enjoy
traveling my mom enjoys cooking my
friends enjoy dancing a few more verbs
that are always followed by gerund are
avoid consider imagine and fancy let's
put them now in context celebrities
avoid answering personal questions have
you ever considered changing your
hairstyle nope
can you imagine being rich and living
the highlife
on cold and rainy days I fancy reading
mystery books some verbs are always
followed by to infinitive so every time
you see one of these verbs in the first
position the second verb needs to be a
to infinitive this is the case of the
verb I need I need to study my mom needs
to relax and my friends need to work
busy people
a few more verbs that are always
followed by to infinitive are want this
site deserve and learn I want to break
free I decided to give some money away
for charity you are a very good person
you deserve to be happy I'm learning to
do my makeup right I think I've done a
good job we've seen a few verbs that can
be only followed by gerund and only
followed by to infinitive in our group
now we're going to see a few lives that
can be followed by both gerund or
infinitive without change in meaning
this is the case of love I love
travelling I love to travel hate I hate
studying I hate to study like I like
sleeping I like to slip or dislike I
dislike cleaning I just like to clean
these verbs can use gerund or infinitive
and build a perfectly fine now when we
use them naturally we do something we
normally choose the gerund option to
emphasize the action in
and we use the to-infinitive option to
emphasize particular preferences about
that action look at my examples I love
traveling and I love to travel in winter
I love traveling uses the gerund because
I love the action of traveling in
general I love to travel
uses to infinitive in winter it's a
specific maybe the rest of the year I
don't like it
I hate studying and I hate to study the
day before the exam
I hate studying with gerund means I hate
it any time studying what I hate to
study the day before the exam with to
infinitive refers to a very specific
situation maybe I'm okay studying is
good for me
but not the day before the exam I hate
to study the day before the exam I have
no time I know nothing I'm so stressed
oh I like sleeping and I like to sleep
in the afternoon I like sleeping with
gerund is a general action sleeping
gives my pleasure I like to sleep in the
afternoon is a specific in the afternoon
I'm okay but the rest of the day not
really
this is not the case of sleepy
[Applause]
and finally I just like cleaning and I
just like to clean on beautiful summer
days I just like cleaning with gerund is
the general action cleaning I just like
to clean a beautiful summer days
to-infinitive is more specific only on
those days I just like to clean their
ass I'm okay and our last group for
today is those verbs that can be
followed by both gerund and infinitive
but with the total change meaning this
is the case of verbs such as stop
remember forget and regret let's put
these verbs now in context to see better
how they work stop stop drinking coffee
stop to drink coffee both are correct
but what is the difference huh stop
drinking stop plus gerund means to
create an action not to do that anymore
need to stop drinking coffee too much
caffeine because we are talking about
not doing something anymore this
structure is commonly used to refer to
addictions and bad habits for example I
should stop going to bed so late
I'm really tired the next morning and
I'm very little productive
you must stop eating so much junk food
it's really unhealthy do you have any
habits that you should stop doing write
a sentence in the comments below and
share it with us remember stop + gerund
stop + - infinitive stop - drink means
to pause an action to do something else
after having the pause you'll continue
doing the same action you were doing
before
in this case you'll continue working
more examples on my way home I need to
stop to buy some milk let's imagine I'm
drivin my car I will have to stop my
driving go to the shop get some milk and
then continue driving or when I go
running I always stop to breathe for a
few minutes I'm running I stop my
running I recover and then I continue
remember remember plus gerund means to
have the memory of a past situation for
example I remember teaching for the
first time I had two other students and
he was hot I was feeling so nervous or I
remember playing with my friends as a
child we would go to the park jump run
those were the days what do you remember
doing as a child write it in the
comments below remember + - infinitive
is used to refer to a task something you
have to do for example remember to wash
your hands before eating to wash your
hands is something you master you don't
want them dirty or the place when you
live remember to close the window the
way the forecast said is going to be a
storm - close the window is something
you must do and you have to remember to
do it
forget forget follow the same pattern as
remember forget plus gerund means to
have the memory of a past situation for
example I'll never forget traveling
abroad for the first time I was so
excited and Ireland is a fantastic
flights or did you forget meeting your
best friend for the first time where
were you what were you doing what was
the first impression right your memory
is about meeting your best friend in the
comments below
forget plus the infinitive is used again
to refer to a task something you have to
do for example don't forget to take your
passport - take your passport is a
you can't forget otherwise you'll miss
your plane or before the exam starts
don't forget to switch your telephone
off to switch your telephone off is
something you must do
sorry sorry
and our last verb is regret regret plus
gerund means to feel sorry about
something that happened in the past and
you wish you could go back in time and
change for example I regret saying what
I said I was really furious and I said
stupid things or I regret eating so much
I ate a lot and I think it was not a
good idea
write a sentence in the comments below
about something you did in the past and
you regret having done regret +2
infinitive is used to give bad news if a
sentence starts with I regret to be
ready for example after a job interview
I regret to say that you don't seem to
be the person we are looking for bad or
at the airport we regret to inform you
that your flight has been delayed may I
have your attention please
we regret to inform you that your flight
has been delayed sorry and that's all
for today we've seen that some verbs are
always followed by gerund some verbs are
always followed by to infinitive some
verbs can be followed by both gerund and
to infinitive with no change in meaning
and sub verbs can be followed by both
gerund and infinitive with a total
change in meaning the first group of
verbs those can be only followed by
jaren or only followed by to infinitive
are the hardest to learn that's why I've
prepared a list for you with the most
common
only follow the gerund and the most
common verbs only followed by to
infinitive in the description box have a
look get familiar with them and practice
them as much as you can
