 Hello everyone, how are you today? I hope you're doing fine. She risked losing her job last year. He decided to talk to his girlfriend after their break up. I'm looking forward to explaining this mini lesson to you today. In this lesson I'm actually going to talk about verb patterns. So stay tuned. How many times have you asked yourself what type of verb you should place after another one? Is it a term? Is it an infinitive? My best advice is to learn the verb with your own verb pattern. In English there are four verb patterns. The first one is verb plus a term. And in one of my past lessons I talked about verbs that express feelings such as love, like, enjoy, etc. So I can say I love watching movies or he likes playing football, and so on. My first introductory example was she risked losing her job last year. Well, actually risk doesn't express a feeling. We have other verbs that take the form in English or a geron. Consider mine, the nine, ok, involve, etc. So an example could be the company denied giving a raise to some employees. The second type of verb pattern is verb plus infinitive, or verb plus the particle two, and then the verb. My introductory example was he decided to talk to his girlfriend after their break up. But not only the side takes two. There are a lot of verbs that take two. And you know the famous want. Another example with the verb pattern two, or infinitive, is I hope to resolve your English grammar problem. The third type of verb pattern is with the particle two plus a term. And in this case I chose a phrasal verb, to look forward to plus ink. And I said I'm looking forward to teaching you this mini lesson. I know that the phrasal verb to look forward to takes the geron after it, even though there is a two before. So like I said in my example, I'm looking forward to teaching you this mini lesson. However, there are many, many, many verbs that take the particle two plus the geron. And I can give you another example. I got used to living in Rome. This could be another example with the verb to get used to plus a geron. Moreover, there are verbs that take both verb patterns, so an infinitive or a geron. Let's take a look at remember. Remember that you know what it means. They can take either form infinitive, so with the particle two, or a geron. But they change meaning. So let's look at both examples. He remembered meeting them. This means to have the memory of doing an action. So for example, when I was talking about his childhood, he remembered meeting his friends. And so he had the memory of doing an action. Let's look at remember without the geron, but with the particle two. He remembered to call them. He remembered to call them. This means that he did the action that one should do. So for example, there is a party and I told him, did you remember to call your friends? Or did you remember to invite your friends to the party? So it's something that he should do. Okay, now let's look at the fourth form of a verb pattern. And that is verbs that do not take the geron or an infinitive. These are verbs that take an object and do not need infinitive or a geron. So for example, let me, an object, me explain the case. Okay, let me explain the case. However, there are many modal verbs and the majority of modal verbs do not take either the informal or the geron or the infinitive. So I can say they can speak English well. So they just take the base of the verb without the particle two or without a geron. Now let's recap. I talked about four types of verb patterns. And these were the first one verb plus a geron. In this case, I talked about the verbs that express feelings such as like, love and joy, which take a geron. But there are other verbs that they do not express feelings, but they take the geron. I talked about the verb to risk. And the example was she risked losing her job last year. The second type of verb pattern that I talked was a verb plus the infinitive. So these are verbs like want, like hope that take the particle two plus the base of the verb. And that is an infinitive. So he decided to call his girlfriend after their breakup. The third type of verb pattern that I talked about was with the verb, obviously, plus the particle two plus a geron. Okay. And in this case, I talked about a famous phrasal verb to look forward to plus ing. I'm looking forward to teaching you this mini lesson. Okay. That was the example. Then I obviously talked about remember that can change meaning. And I will talk about these types of verbs in future lessons. So remember can change meaning according to the particle that follows after or two or without the particle but just a geron. And the fourth one, the fourth type of verb pattern that I talked about was verbs that do not take the infinitive or the geron. And these usually follow an object. Like I said, let me explain the lesson to you or a verb or modal verbs such as can, must, or should, would, that do not take two or a geron. So we can speak English so without the particle two or without the geron. Now, I wish you the best.
