Gerund - Infinitive

A gerund - vagy inges alak nagyon szépen angolossá teszi a beszédünket, és lerövidít sok bonyolult

szerkezetet, például that/should-os - (hogy valaki csináljon valamit)  mellékmondatot.

(Például: I suggested (to him) that he should do some sports. - helyett: I suggested him doing some sports.)

 Már egész korán meg kellett tanulnunk, hogy a szeret-nem szeret jelentésű igék után az igei tárgy (amit szeret-nem szeret az ember csinálni), -inges alakban, tehát gerund formában áll.

Vannak olyan igék, főnevek, szerkezetek, amik után lehet gerundot is és főnévi igenevet is használni.

Van amikor csak gerundot, és van amikor más a jelentése a kettőnek. Meg kell tanulni. Lehetőleg kis mondatokkal, eleve a szó tanulásakor már úgy kiírva a szótárba.
