Chọn V-ing hay To V

- Dùng V-ing với hành động kéo dài, To V với hành động ngắn

She began to feel worried and anxious .

- Khi những động từ này ở bất kì thì tiếp diễn nào, ta không thể dùng ‘V-ing’

Ví dụ:

I’m beginning to learn French

I was starting to leave home for school

- Với những động từ chỉ suy nghĩ, hiểu biết ta phải dùng ‘to-V’

Các động từ như: think, understand, remember, forget, realize, recognize, appreciate, comprehend, know, …

Ví dụ:

I begin to understand him

I start to forget all about this event

- Với những từ chỉ tình cảm, cảm xúc ta không dùng ‘ V-ing’

Những từ chỉ tình cảm, cảm xúc: love, hate, miss, admire, respect, adore,…

Với những từ chỉ cảm giác ta không dùng ‘ V-ing’

Những từ chỉ cảm giác: feel, hear, see, smell, taste…

- Sau động từ khiếm khuyết (MODAL VERBS) + động từ nguyên mẫu

Can & Cannot, Could & Could not, May & May not, Might & Might not, Must & Must not, Shall & Shall not, Should & Should not , Will & Will not, Would & Would not

- Nếu động từ thứ 2 diễn ra sau động từ thứ 1; thì động từ thứ 2 là “TO VERB”
