帶ing的動詞或帶to+不定式的動詞 1
When one verb is followed by another, the second verb can either be an Infinitive or an –ing form. Some verbs can be followed by only an infinitive , others by only an –ing form and some by both but with a change in meaning. To know which structure to use, you can consult a good dictionary but here are some common examples.
當一個動詞跟着另一個動詞，第二個動詞要麼是一個不定式，要麼是ing形式的。有些動詞只能跟一個不定式，有一些的只能跟一個ing形式的，有一些兩者都可以跟，但是其意義會隨之改變。要清楚地知道應該使用哪種組合，你需要好好地查一下字典，但是這裏給你提供了一些最常見的例子。
Verb + infinitive
動詞+不定式
• I want to speak to the manager.• She’s learning to ride a horse.• He offered to help us wash up.
‘Want’, ’learn’ and ‘offer’ are followed by to + infinitive
‘Want’, ’learn’ 和 ‘offer’後面跟to + 不定式
Other verbs in this group include: afford, agree, ask, choose, decide, expect, hope, prepare, promise, pretend,refuse, would like.
其他動詞包括afford, agree, ask, choose, decide, expect, hope, prepare, promise, pretend,refuse, would like。
Verb + ‘ing’ form
動詞+ing形式
• I enjoy travelling.• He admitted stealing the necklace.• I don’t mind waiting if you’re busy.
‘enjoy’ ‘admit’ and ‘mind’ are followed by the ‘ing’ form
‘enjoy’ ‘admit’和‘mind’後面跟 ‘ing’形式
Other verbs in this group include: avoid, consider, dislike, feel like, finish, give up, can’t help, practise, ‘ing’ suggest.

Verb + infinitive or ‘ing’ form with no change in meaning
動詞+不定式或者ing形式，而且意思不變的
A few verbs can be followed by either an infinitive or the ‘ing’ form and the meaning does not change.
有些單詞既能跟動詞不定式又能跟ing形式，意思不變。
• I started to work here in 1994.• I started working here in 1994.The meaning of these two sentences is the same.
這兩個句子的意思沒有區別
There aren’t many verbs that can take an infinitive or an ‘ing’ form with no change in meaning. ‘Begin’ and ‘continue’ are two more examples.
這樣的單詞不多， ‘Begin’ and ‘continue’ 是另外兩個例子。
There is also a group of verbs that can be followed by an infinitive or an ‘ing’ form with a change in meaning. These verbs will be covered in another section.
還有一些其他的動詞能夠同時跟動詞不定式和ing形式，但是意思卻隨之改變的，這些動詞我們會在另一章節裏提到。
