​READ ABOUT GERUNDS, INFINITIVE; MAKE AND LET

​Gerunds

• We can use gerunds as nouns, after prepositions and after certain verbs and phrases.

​

Flying is the best way to reach your holiday destination.

We’re interested in finding out more about the city breaks on offer.

He admitted stealing my passport.

​Infinitives

​

We use full infinitives to express purpose.

We also use them after certain verbs, after adjectives and after the words too and enough.

​e.g

I went to the travel agency to book my flight.

He failed to get to the airport on time.

I’m pleased to see you again so soon.

I’m too old to go rock-climbing!

​

We use bare infinitives after modal verbs, had better and would rather.

We can find a cheap package holiday.

You had better pack your suitcase now.

I would rather go on a camping holiday than a skiing holiday.

​ Gerund or Infinitive?

Some verbs can be followed by a gerund or a full infinitive with no change in meaning. However, other verbs can also be followed by a gerund or a full infinitive, but with a change in meaning.

​

I forgot contacting the travel agency. (I didn’t remember that I had contacted the travel agency.)

I forgot to contact the travel agency. (I didn’t contact the travel agency because I forgot.)

​Make & Let

​ Make + object + bare infinitive is used in the active voice to say that we force a person to do something.

​

In the passive, we use a full infinitive.

The driver made the tourists get off the coach.

The tourists were made to get off the coach bythe driver

​Make & Let

​ Let + object + bare infinitive is used to say that we give permission for someone to do something. It is only used in the active voice. In the passive, we can use the verb to be allowed to.

​

My son was allowed to swim to the rocks.
