-ing forms with verbs (part 1)
  • The -ing form can be the subject/object that accompanies a verb: Travelling broadens the mind (S) / I dislike travelling by ship (O)
  • There are common verbs which are followed by an -ing form. They include: admit, avoid, consider, delay, deny, dislike, enjoy, imagine, mind, miss, practise, resent, risk, & suggest.
  • Some verbs can be followed by -ing or by an infinitive (hele ww + to). The meaning of the sentence stays the same. These verbs include begin, hate, like, love, prefer, start:                    She began to feel sleepy / She began feeling sleepy
  • Some verbs can be followed by -ing and infinitive, but the meaning of the sentence will change. These verbs include forget, regret, remember, stop, try:                                                            He tried to do it in a different way (he tried but we don't know if he succeeded) VS He tried doing it in a different way (he tested a different method)

Slide 8 - Slide

-ing forms with verbs (part 2)
  • Verbs which are followed by an -ing form can also be used in passive sentences as follows: being + past participle (-ed/3rd form):                       She enjoys being looked after while she is ill.
  • The verbs need, want and require can be followed by -ing, but they will have passive meaning:                                                                                                     The machine needs/requires/wants servicing.

Slide 9 - Slide

Other -ing form uses:
  • The -ing form can be the object of a preposition (in/on/at/for/etc.). The -ing from rather than the infinitive always follows a preposition: He isn't interested in listening to stories.
  • The -ing form follows some commonly used phrases:                                                                                  1) It's worth ... -ing                            2) as well as .... -ing             3) It's no good/use ... -ing                       4) There's not point ... -ing            5) instead of ... -ing             6) I/you/we can't help ... -ing               7) To be used to ... -ing
  • The -ing form can also be used in more formal English. It is used after a determiner to show the possive: Does my listening to the radio bother you?
