Do you want to improve your grammatical accuracy and vocabulary? In this lesson, I look at some of the most common verbs that are followed by gerunds. Never say “I enjoy to do” ever again! After the video, check out our resource page for a detailed list of verbs that are followed by gerunds and infinitives.
Dear Alex, what do you recommend about “recommend”?)))
Valeriy
I recommend using a gerund. :) There are other structures with this verb, though. It’s also possible to say “I recommend your using a gerund” or “I recommend that you use a gerund.”
Alex
dear alex i like you style of teaching and i realy understand your lessons would you please add me in your skype or tell me your skype id i want to ask you some questions oraly
muhammadrehman
Hi Alex. Could you explain this example: “8. Which verb is followed by a gerund?”
it’s very confused for me…
rumiq
ups I made mistake:
8. Which verb is followed by a gerund?
attempt
agree
recommend
can’t afford
rumiq
The word “recommend” use gerend and to verb. You use gerend when you speak sb future mean while you use to verb when you speak sb past meae.
Conclusion
Past mean : recommend ~ing
Future mean : recommend to verb
martin
The answer is “recommend.” All the others are followed by an infinitive. (to + base verb)
Alex
First i whant to thank you wery mach for you lesson and quiz. I apologize for my stupidity, but I can’t understand the last 5 tasks (beginging with “which verb is followd by a gerund”) Explain them please. Another question – is it absolutely forbidden to say for example “She dislikes to watch TV” or is it juct not recomended to do. Thank you wery mach
Алексей Окунев
Grammatically, it’s forbidden, but in usage, it’s possible that you’ll hear speakers using an infinitive from time to time. However, it sounds really bad with the majority of the verbs.
Example:
“I feel like to jog today.” (this sounds really wrong to a native speaker)
“I miss to play with my friends.” (this also sounds really wrong to a native speaker)
Alex
Hello Alex,
I´d like to ask you about a verb what I found in the English ressource list – advice. It is commonly followed by a gerund. Recently I found in an entry of the OALD the following example: “Police are advising People to stay at home.” Would you be so kind to explain the use of the Infinitive in this case?
By the way, many thanks for your helpful lessons!
tanito
Thanks Alex!, this lesson are very good to me.
crayong
I would like to thank you for more helpful lesson.Sir I have a question if you don’t mind. Which is the correct sentence out of three mentioned below? (1)I advised John to go to school.(2)I advised John going to school.(3)I advised going to school. Thank you.
hemkumar
You can use the first and third sentence, but not the second unless you change it into a possessive gerund. Example: “I advised John’s going to school.”
Alex
thanks very much about quiz Alex

Dear Alex.I’ve been watching your lessons for a long time.Probably i watched all your lessons.They way you speech is so clear to get it.But i wonder if you speak like you are in daily life and even if you speak like that will i able to undersant you again too ?

i wanna say thanks
tgbest
tgbest,
Teacher, Alex lessons are amazing. Our teacher will come and give us more explanations. Before he comes, I want to tell you about what is in my mind concerned the verb ‘recommend’. ‘Recommend’ is to tell some body that she or he would be suitable for a particular action as a noun. ‘To-infinitive verb’ never follows it. Only gerund follows it. that’s what I think. I am also waiting for our teacher, Alex’s more explanations. I hope he’ll correct my mistakes.

Alex,
in your answer to Valerye, you said to her that she could use the follow ways: “I recommend you using the gerund.” and “I recommend that you use the gerund”. I ask to you if i used “I recommend you to use the infinitive” too would be right.

Hello Alex! This website is wonderful. I really appreciate your work. I would like to ask you a question. I have a problem with a word “stop” followed by gerund or infinitiv. My opinion is this (but I´m not completely certain): If I say: stop talking – it means “not talking anymore”. If I say: stop to talk – it means “meet someone, stop walking and talk to each other”. Is this correct? Thanks a lot. Pavel

Dear, Alex i like your lesson and i love the way u give the lesson. by the way i got 9 out of 10 cos quiz # 8 confused me so can u explained to me ?
i wanna say thanks
tgbest,
Teacher, Alex lessons are amazing. Our teacher will come and give us more explanations. Before he comes, I want to tell you about what is in my mind concerned the verb ‘recommend’. ‘Recommend’ is to tell some body that she or he would be suitable for a particular action as a noun. ‘To-infinitive verb’ never follows it. Only gerund follows it. that’s what I think. I am also waiting for our teacher, Alex’s more explanations. I hope he’ll correct my mistakes.

Hello, Alex.
All verbs which can be followed by gerunds, can be followed by nouns (objects). Is it correct?
I am enjoying your lessons. I am bilingual Spanish / English so some times I miss pronounce words in the English language in general. So hearing you helps me a lot. Thank you Alex.

I enjoy watching Engvid videos. thank you very much it was a useful lesson
it is good but it is hard to say it
Thanks Alex !!!
Alex,
in your answer to Valerye, you said to her that she could use the follow ways: “I recommend you using the gerund.” and “I recommend that you use the gerund”. I ask to you if i used “I recommend you to use the infinitive” too would be right.
Andre Luis/Saint Louis/Brazil.
Hi Alex
Is there any reason why these verbs follow gerund?

Hi Alex,
Thanks for your precious english help. This lesson is really awesome. Keep doing the best.
Hello Alex,
probably I put my comment in the wrong place,
therefore I´d like to repeat my question in this place:
Hello Alex,
I´d like to ask you about a verb what I found in the English ressource list – advice. It is commonly followed by a gerund. Recently I found in an entry of the OALD the following example: “Police are advising People to stay at home.” Would you be so kind to explain the use of the Infinitive in this case?
By the way, many thanks for your helpful lessons!
I like your lessons Alex, thanks a lot !!
Hi Alex,my name is Neelam..I wanted to ask you that what is the difference between will & would & when do we use them in sentences & what is the use of it.and last one what’s the difference between can & could & when do we use them..pls do show the video on it..
many thanx for helpfull lessons..:)
Thanks! Nice lesson
Thank you Alex for your useful explanations!!!
Hello Alex! This website is wonderful. I really appreciate your work. I would like to ask you a question. I have a problem with a word “stop” followed by gerund or infinitiv. My opinion is this (but I´m not completely certain): If I say: stop talking – it means “not talking anymore”. If I say: stop to talk – it means “meet someone, stop walking and talk to each other”. Is this correct? Thanks a lot. Pavel
Hi Alex,
thanks
Hi Alex,
thanks
Dear Alex.
This lesson it is too useful. But is hard to memorize all the verbs. Can you give a Tip of how to memorize all of them?
Hi Alex
I read in english dictionary following sentence: I dread to think what would happen if he was left to cope on his own. Is it right? You said, that after dread we have to use -ing (thinking).
Hi alex!! What about “imagine”? Thanks in advance!
Thanks Alex. I tried downloading the pdf of the lists of verbs without success even though I’m logged in. Are you having problems with downloading from your site?
Thanks Alex. I have learnt a lot with your examples and your explanations.
Thx u Alex !
hank you Alex,Is the word “suggest” also fallowed by gerund?
thanks Alex for your valuable lesson…
thanks

Hello Alex. I know that always after the word “ABOUT” there is a gerund.
For example:

Is it correct?

Hello, Alex. Thank you for your lesson, it was wery useful for me. Tell me, please, is it correct to write traveling, as you did in your lesson; or travelling? And one more question: useful to me or useful for me? if both are used is there any difference?
What about ‘I dread to think what happened’?
Thanks so much, you are the best teacher, Alex.

thank u alex for your helpful lesson..but is there any way when we should use gerund or whn infinitive after verb..?
hello from Turkey:) You are awesome !!!
Hi Alex, Thank you for your lesson! Very good!!!
I have one doubt, when I was doing one test the question was: The hard disk can _____ up to 25 gigabytes of data.
a) stores
b) storage
c) store
d) storing
The correct is “d”. I don’t understand why needs to be gerund?
Ah the beginning of the video,Alex says “the gerund is actually a noun”
thank you very much you are best teacher.
I heard these verbs are about feelings or an opinion, What do you think?
thanks very much Alex .
What’s more common verb for native speakers to use: “to dread” or “to hate”?
easy lesson
i got 100 percent
Thank you. I have got 10 from 10 again.
I very often understand your lessons, but I cannot speak yet. Please. make more lessons how to learn speak.
I got 100 % thanku
thanks Alex
i have only 1 mistake.First point is 90 second is 100.At the first i forgot to login in :D
Watching your video, I have a doubt about the verbs which are following by a gerund.
All the verbs you listed in the video are relative to feelings and abstract verbs. Is this a good way to select the verbs which are followed by a gerund?
Thanks for helping me!
10 out of 10 !! great lesson , great quiz,great teacher!!
words can not describe you alex :)
I love verbs. Thid was a very helpful lesson,
professor Alex. Thank you!

hi Alex, thank you for this video, on the minute 3:12 with dread example, you said,”they’re going to gym regularly but they’re hating it.” is it possible for me to say ,”they’re going to gym regularly but they hate it.”? when are we allowed to use “hate” in continuous form? thank you
Awesome, thanks alex
Thank you very much Mr. Alex.
hi Alex, I have a question, the verb admit can take a perfect infinitive as he admitted to have involved in wrongdoing
and another one, can gerund replace with present infinitive
present continuous infinitive
like she admitted making a mistake
to
she admitted to be making a mistake
Thanks sir
Thank you very much Alex.
