Verb patterns:

When we put two verbs together, the second verb can obtain different forms. It depends on the first verb.

Possible patterns: 

1.  infinitive with to: verb with to

2. gerund: verb+ing\

3. (bare) infinitive: verb

1. infinitive with to:

1. After adjectives
   It’ll be nice to meet your parents.
2. After question words e.g. what, where, when, etc.
   I don’t know where to go or what to do.
3. To say why you do smth, to show some intention, similar to “in order to”.
   I came to this school to/in order to learn English.
4. With some state phrases:
   to begin with. to be honest etc.
5. After some specific verbs that require it, e.g. want, need, would like, etc. .I need to buy some new clothes (see page 200 + 201 of your book).

2. The gerund: verb + ing

1. Used when the  verb is the subject (onderwerp) of a sentence or a noun
   Eating in the summer outside makes me feel good.
2. After phrasal verbs e.g. feel like, can’t stand, etc.
   I don’t feel like going out tonight.
3. After prepositions or verbs + prepositions
   He insisted on leaving home earlier.
4. After some specific verbs, e.g. enjoy, deny, avoid, etc.(see page 200 + 201 of your book). I enjoy reading late at night.

3. Bare infinitive: just the verb

1. After can, could,  should, must, would, may, might, will, shall, had better, would rather
   He could leave his job and try and find something more interesting.
2.  After make, let, hear , see, feel + object
