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.
