Verb Patterns and Usage

This video tutorial by Lara from Linguist focuses on verb patterns, specifically when two verbs appear together in a sentence. It explains the transformation of the second verb into either a gerund or an infinitive, depending on the first verb. The lesson covers verbs that are always followed by gerunds, those that require infinitives, and verbs that can take either form without changing meaning. Additionally, it discusses verbs that change meaning based on whether they are followed by a gerund or an infinitive. The tutorial concludes with a summary and resources for further practice.
