want to, enjoy -ing

V slovenčine je za slovesom vždy neurčitok: „chcem ísť“, „baví ma variť“, „prestal fajčiť“. V angličtine prvé sloveso určí tvar druhého. Niektoré slovesá majú za sebou to + sloveso. Iné majú tvar -ing (going, eating, reading).

Žiadne pravidlo ti nepovie, ktoré sloveso má ktorý tvar. Uč sa každé sloveso s jeho vzorcom.

Slovesá s to

want, need, decide, hope, plan, learn, forget, try, promise, refuse, manage, would like

Slovesá s -ing

enjoy, finish, mind, stop, keep, avoid, practise, miss, suggest, imagine, can't stand

Slovesá s oboma

like, love, hate, start a begin majú ktorýkoľvek tvar a význam sa takmer nemení.

Stop, remember a forget

Pri týchto slovesách sa význam mení.
