Welcome to part two of misuse of the infinitive. Okay guys, we are going to continue this lesson about the misuse of the infinitive. Again I should say this that you must focus on understand your problems, your errors and your mistakes and correct them in order to improve your English. Let's start as I said before, we use Dharan afterwards which regularly take a preposition. Think of verb energy. Think of so don't say I often think to go to England.
This is not correct. Say. I often think of going to England. I often think of going to England. Tired of comes also with the verb AMG, so don't say the customer. got tired to wait?
This is actually not correct. It's your say the customer got tired of waiting. Some people get tired of waiting like me. We use Durand after certain verbs like used to. So don't say she's used to get up early now now this is not correct. We should say she's used to getting up early this is a correct way.
So after used to the verb comes with IMG Do not forget this point. Avoid verb comes with IMG again here so don't say you can't avoid to make mistakes. This is not correct. You should say. You can't avoid making mistakes. Exactly.
We cannot avoid making mistakes. Mistakes happen all the time. Perfect and no Also we can say can't help. Which means can't avoid. For example, I can't help laughing. It means that I cannot control myself.
I can't help the verb comes with it again. Number 13. Enjoy. Enjoy. Don't say I enjoy to play football. No, this is not correct.
And this is another common mistake. Say I enjoy playing football. I enjoy playing football. Use the Durand or to infinitive after verbs meaning to like or to dislike. So we can use both of them. He likes reading English books, or he likes to read English books both are correct.
Number 14 excuse also comes with a verb if you don't say please excuse me to be so late. Say please excuse Might being so late. So excuse commas with the verb IMG, again or we can say please excuse me for being so late textual, this is more common. And number 15 years finish finish also comes with the verb I and G don't say have you finished to speak now now Please don't make these kinds of mistakes. Say, have you finished speaking? Have you finished speaking to infinitive or the Durand follow verbs meaning to begin, so we can say she began to speak or she began speaking both are correct.
Number 16 Go on, which means continue comes with a verb I and G. So don't say the music went on to play all day. We should say the music went on playing All day. That music went on playing all day. So it comes with the verb IMG. Also we can say keep on she kept on playing the piano. She kept on playing the piano.
