STUDY the FOLLOWING:
Some verbs are followed by
to-Infmitive,

fe e l like

finish, imagine, miss,
recall, resent
/негодовать, возмущаться, обижаться/,

The verbs
begin, cease, start and continue
can be followed by either
a to-Infinitive
or
an -

form with little difference in meaning:
•

• I’m starting to learn
Chinese. (
rather than
I’m starting learning
Chinese.)
The verbs
advise
and
encourage
are followed by
-ing
when there is no object and
to-Infinitive
when there is one. Compare:
• I’d
advise
taking
more exercise.
• I’d
advise you
to take
more exercise.
