STEP B GRAMMAR TIP

When two verbs are next to each other in a sentence, they usually follow one of two patterns:

  1. (verb) + (gerund)
  2. (verb) + (to-infinitive)

However, some verbs can use both patterns.

You can use both pattern 1 and pattern 2 with the following verbs. The meaning is more or less the same.

start

continue

prefer

hate

like

love

  • love slurping ramen.
  • love to slurp ramen.

You can use pattern 1 or 2 with the following verbs, but be careful: The meaning changes.

remember

forget

stop

Use pattern 1, (verb) + (gerund), to show that the second verb happened before the subject stops, remembers, or forgets.

  • She visited this bakery twenty-five years ago and still remembers ordering their chocolate cake.
  • The boy’s mom yelled at him, so he stopped talking with food in his mouth.

Use pattern 2, (verb) + (to-infinitive), to show that the second verb happens after the subject stops, remembers, or forgets.

  • She remembered to order a chocolate cake for the party.
  • The jogger’s friend waved at him, so he stopped to talk.

UNDERSTAND

SPEAKING

Ai and Jake are having their anniversary dinner. Ai prepared a very special meal.

Jake:

Ai…

Ai:

Yes, honey?

Jake:

Could you please stop slurping your noodles? It’s so rude.

Ai:

Slurping your noodles is rude in Canada, Jake. We are in Japan, it's okay to slurp noodles here you know.

Jake:

Yes, but I’m Canadian.

Ai:

Well, you love talking with your mouth full, but that’s rude in Canada too. You also like to put your elbows on the table. And do you remember burping during lunch yesterday? That was–

Jake:

Okay, okay, I’m sorry! Let’s just enjoy the nice dinner that you made. I may not like watching you eat, but I love eating your cooking.

TRIVIA

Although it is considered bad manners in most countries, burping is actually polite in some countries like Bahrain and China. It shows that you enjoyed your meal and are full.
