LESSON C VERBS WITH ONE OR TWO WORDS

 

What a hell is this?  Well they are called phrasal verb, which  is a verb like plus apreposition it can have one or two Here are some examples such as :

* pick up,

 *turn on 

 *get on with. 

These verbs consists of a basic verb + another word or words. The two or three words that make up a phrasal verb form a short "phrase" - which is why we call them "phrasal verbs". But a phrasal verb is still a verb. Look is a verb. Look up is also a verb - a different verb. They do not have the same meaning, and they behave differently grammatically. You should treat each phrasal verb as a separate verb, and learn it like any other verb They are generally used in spoken English and informal texts. .

in order that everybody have the same meaning in this topic in the school, i will add a 

list whcih they must be followed in order to know the meaning of them.:

LESSON D VERBS FOLLED BY ANOTHER VERB (VERBS PATTERN)

 

Verb patterns

Sometimes in a sentence, one verb follows another. For example, I want to buy an electric car. The first verb is 'want', the second verb is 'buy'. In sentences like this, there are different possible patterns. For example: (a) I want to buy an electric car. (b) I hate driving. In sentence A, the first verb is followed by an infinitive. In sentence B, the first verb is followed by a gerund (-ing) form. The verb patterns are dependent upon the first verb. There are several different types of pattern. When you learn a new verb, you need to learn the verb pattern. Unfortunately, some verbs have more than one possible pattern! Sometimes, if a verb has two patterns, each pattern can have a different meaning or use. Here are examples of some of the patterns:

Verb + to + verb:

These verbs all use this pattern: want, hope, decide, agree. I want to work with Dr. Laver. Tim hopes to leave the stockroom soon. Helen decided to go out with Michal. Alice might agree to change wards.

Verb + verb + ing:

These verbs all use this pattern: enjoy, mind, consider. I enjoy working on the emergency ward. Alice doesn't mind working with children. Tim is considering changing his job.

Verb + preposition + verb +ing

These verbs all use this pattern: specialise, think. He specialises in helping children. Michal is thinking about cooking dinner.

Verb + object + verb:

These verbs all use this pattern: let, make. Dad let me keep the cat. She made me say sorry.

Verbs with two patterns and different meanings:

These verbs have two possible patterns, and there is a difference in meaning between the patterns: like, hate, regret. I like to swim every day = I think it is a good idea to do this I like swimming every day = I enjoy the activity. It gives me pleasure I hate to tell you this = I am sorry to tell you this I hate flying = I do not like this activity I regret to tell you this - I am sorry to tell you this I regret leaving London - I left London in the past, and I am sorry that I did that Let's continue with our lesson in our helping material.
