1. VERB FORMS

En ingles los verbos pueden tener diferentes formas dentro de la oración. Estas formas NO SIGUEN NINGUNA REGLA específica, simplemente las debemos aprender a medida que los usamos

Por ejemplo:

1. Hay verbos (AUXILIARES) que cuando van  seguidos de otro verbo, éste debe estar en forma simple, es decir, sin agregar la particula TO, y sin agregarke ninguna terminación al verbo: 

- I CAN play  (No se puede decir: I CAN To play)

- She CAN dance (No se puede decir: she CAN dancES )

- We CAN jump     (No se puede decir: I CAN To jumpING)

- I WILL study   (Igual que el anterior)

* Todos los verbos MODALES siguen esta regla, por el momento solo veremos estos dos verbos.

2. Hay otros verbos que por el contrario, SIEMPRE que van seguidos de otro verbo, deben tener la particula TO.

- I HAVE TO go to the supermarket

- She HAS TO study today

- We WANT TO go shopping

- He WANTS TO be a doctor

Esta es la lista de verbos que deben de ir seguidos por otro verbo en infinitivo "TO"

3. Hay otros verbos que por el contrario, SIEMPRE que van seguidos de otro verbo, deben tener la particula ING AL FINAL DEL SEGUNDO VERBO.

- I  ENJOY  goING  shopping

- She STOPPED smokING

-  please KEEP walkING

Esta es la lista de verbos con los que se cumple esta regla:

4. Hay otros verbos que seguidos de otro verbo aceptan ambas condiciones:

a. pueden llevar la particula TO

- I LIKE TO play soccer

- She LIKES TO listen to rock music.

- I LOVE TO play the ´piano

- He LOVES TO go to the museum
- We HATE TO go camping

b. o también pueden llevar ING

 I LIKE  playING soccer

- She LIKES listenING  to rock music.

- I LOVE  playING the ´piano

- He LOVES  goING to the museum
- She HATES goING camping

 * Es decir estos verbos aceptan las dos formas mencionadas y AMBAS ESTAN CORRECTAS gramaticalmente.

Miren en esta canción como los verbos STOP-STAR-LIKE van seguidos de OTRO VERBO terminado en ING. (No se confundan: ING tiene 5 usos diferentes al del presente progresivo ANDO-ENDO)

5 Algunos verbos aceptan ambas formas, pero ambas tienen un diferente significado:

Don't forget to meet Mr Moriarty at 10 o'clock this morning. (You should meet Mr Moriarty at 10 o'clock this morning.)
I'll never forget meeting her for the first time. (I'll never forget when I met her for the first time.)

Did you remember to buy tea? (Did you remember that you should buy tea?)
I don't remember ever visiting this museum. (I don't remember that I have ever visited this museum.)

We regret to inform you that your application has been rejected. (We are sorry we have to inform you that your application has been rejected.)
I regret spending so much money last night. (I am sorry that I spent so much money last night.)

Whichever page you're on, go on to read the next chapter. (Continue with the next chapter.)
Go on reading the article. (Continue reading the article.)

We stopped to drink a cup of coffee. (We stopped in order to drink a cup of coffee.)
I stopped smoking years ago. (I gave up smoking years ago.)

Let's summarize what we had said about VERB FORMS so far:

VERBOS QUE SIEMPRE VAN CON TO	VERBOS QUE SIEMPRE VAN CON OTRO VEBO SEGUIDO DE ING	ACEPTAN AMBAS FORMAS SIN CAMBIO EN EL SIGNIFICADO	ACEPTAN AMBAS FORMAS PERO CAMBIAN DE SIGNIFICADO CON C/U
NEED TO  + VERB	ENJOY + VERB (ING)	LIKE TO+ VERB LIKE + VERB (ING)	STOPPED EATING: dejó de comer STOPPED TO EAT:  se detuvo para comer
HAVE TO + VERB	FINISH + VERB (ING)	LOVE TO + VERB LOVE ´VERB (ING)	REMEMBER TO BUY..: recuerda comprar. REMEMBER BUYING: recuerdo cuando estaba comprando
WANT TO + VERB	KEEP + VERB (ING)	HATE TO  ´VERB HATE + VERB (ING)	FORGET TO MEET: olvidar reunirse FORGET MEETING: olvidar esa vez que se reunió.
ASK TO + VERB	AVOID + VERB (ING)	PREFER TO + VERB PREFER + VERB (ING)

5. Despues de una PREPOSICIÓN seguida de un verbo, ÉSTE debe llevar ING.
