After a verb: -ing or to?
When one verb follows another, the first verb decides the form of the second. There are six patterns to learn.
Fixed -ing expressions
Some expressions are always followed by the -ing form. Learn them as whole chunks.
Feelings + to
Adjectives that describe feelings or attitudes are followed by to + verb.
Who gets what: direct and indirect objects
Words that trip you up
Homophones: same sound, different word
Tap a card to see the meanings.
Talking about leisure: music, books and films
Verb drill
Learn which pattern each verb takes. Verbs you miss come back after a few cards, and a verb counts as learned once you get it right 3 times in a row.
