Gerunds and infinitives
- 1. REPUBLICA BOLIVARIANA DE VENEZUELA UNIVERSIDAD YACAMBU MORA-LARA Gerunds and Infinitives Teacher: Luis Chavez Section: MA04TOS Student: Guadalupe Garces
- 2. WHAT IS A GERUND? - A gerund is a noun made from a verb. To make a gerund, you add "-ing" to the verb. For example: In the sentence ,I swim every day , the word "swim" is a verb. In the sentence "I like swimming", the word "swimming" is a noun. Therefore, "swimming" is a gerund. Second example: In the sentence "She reads several books a week", the word "read" is a verb. In the sentence "Reading is important", the word "reading" is a noun. Therefore, "reading" is a gerund. More examples of gerunds: buying, fishing, running, watching, telling, and so forth. The word "gerund", means "do".
- 3. EXAMPLES: Note: The main underlined verb relates to real or completed actions. She stopped smoking. I finished doing my homework. They keep on fighting. We discussed moving to Florida. You recommended waiting until tomorrow. He recalled falling asleep on the couch.
- 4. ¿WHAT IN A INFINITIVE? An infinitive is the basic form of the verb + "to". Examples: To buy, to fish, to run, to watch, to tell, and so forth. Example Sentences: I want to swim, they asked us to leave, the goal is to win. - The infinitive describes an action, but unlike a regular verb, it is not limited in any way. -The regular verb is limited to the tense and subject. For example, in the sentence "Diana danced" the action is limited to Diana and to the past. -The infinitive is unlimited. In the sentence "To dance is easy", the action is not limited to any subject or to any time -Infinitives are often used when actions are unreal, general, or future
- 5. EXAMPLES: Note: The main underlined verb relates to unreal, general, or future actions. We agreed never to talk about it again. He offered to sell the house. You seem to be disappointed. She asked him not to leave. I want to drink. They need to get up early.
