Decide to go or decide going? These are the questions that drive my students crazy. Do we use the infinitive, like to go after verbs, or the gerund, like going after verbs? Well, I've got some bad news and good news for you. Let's start with the bad news. Now, the bad news is it all depends on the verb. And there's no real rule to help us know which verb is followed by the infinitive and which verb is followed by the gerund. And that's why it's so important that when you learn a new verb in English, you learn it in context, so that you learn exactly. For example, the word dare. Don't just learn the word dare, learn it in context, like, I didn't dare to touch the spider. Dare to touch. Okay? Dare is followed by the infinitive. Now, that being said, in this video, I do have some little tricks that are going to help you identify which verbs need to be followed by the infinitive and which verbs are going to be followed by the gerund. A lot of students have requested this video. I think you're going to find it really useful and that it's going to help you stop making so many mistakes in English grammar. So let's start with when to use the gerund. Again, the gerund is the -ing form of verbs going, eating, taking. And before I tell you how to know which verbs are followed by the gerund, I want to tell you a couple of other very common places where we use the gerund. First is after prepositions of time and place. For example, I always have breakfast before leaving the house. I always have a cup of tea after eating lunch. I got wet after walking in the rain. And the other commonplace we use it is when we're replacing the subject or object of a verb, and we're basically using it as a noun. For example, Dave loves jumping in the swimming pool, but jumping in the pool is forbidden. But swimming is a great exercise. In that situation, we're using jumping and swimming as the subject, as a noun, and as the subject of the sentence. Okay? So as you saw in that example, Dave loves jumping into swimming pools. Who doesn't? And this is my first guideline for knowing when to use the gerund. So basically, when we're using verbs that tell us what we like and what we don't like, we use the gerund. I've got lots of examples of this, so let's have a look. Alright. Things I like doing I like watching football. I love going on holiday. I enjoy playing the ukulele. I fancy going to the cinema this weekend. I adore travelling to foreign countries. I don't mind driving long distances. I feel like eating out tonight. Okay, all these verbs tell you more or less what I like, and they are all followed by the gerund. I said I like watching football. Yeah, I prefer watching football to playing football. So prefer is also followed by the gerund. And now things that we don't like. Let's have a look at some examples of things that we don't like, which are all followed by the gerund. I don't like being ill. I hate people smoking near me. Hate smoking. Hate people smoking near me. Some people detest going to the dentist. [...
