Hotel problems and verb patterns
Con Alianna J.
Resumen
In this lesson you talked about a holiday at a noisy hotel, luggage and phone problems, and practicing which verb forms follow other verbs. The tutor corrected vocabulary (suitcase, pounds, charger, swimming pool) and guided you through using 'to' + base and '-ing' forms. You practised choosing verb patterns and speaking about complaints and preferences.
Choosing actions after complaints
- Discussed deciding to move to a different hotel after checking conditions
- Talked about waiting at reception and possible next steps
Verb patterns: 'to' vs '-ing' forms
- Practiced using 'to' + base after verbs like decide, want, need
- Practiced using '-ing' after verbs like enjoy, hate, finish, recommend
- Tutor explained base form rules when two verbs are used together
Para recordar
Verb patterns with infinitives and gerunds
Some verbs are followed by the 'to + base form' of the next verb (infinitive), while others require the '-ing' form (gerund). For example, 'decide to go' vs. 'enjoy swimming'. Ejemplos
- I decided to move to a different hotel.
- I finished reading the book.
