VERBS FOLLOWED BY TO- INFINITIVE OR -ING FORM

 In English, if you want to follow a verb with another action, you must use a gerund or infinitive. For example: We resumed talking.   ( gerund  – verb + ing) I want to see a movie.   ( infinitive  – to + base verb)  This is a complex matter among ESL (English as a second language) students and it is important to master te topic as soon as possible, so that you don't make mistakes in speaking and writing. Here are some of the most common verbs that are usually followed by the gerund. enjoy: I enjoyed  living  in France. fancy: I fancy  seeing  a film tonight. discuss: We discussed  going  on holiday together. dislike: I dislike  waiting  for buses. finish: We've finished  preparing  for the meeting. mind: I don't mind  coming  early. suggest: He suggested  staying  at the Grand Hotel. recommend: They recommended  meeting  earlier. keep: He kept  working , although he felt ill. avoid: She avoided  talking  to her boss.

Let's have a look at some of them:  ANGRY/MAD (enojado/enfadado) UPSET (molest@) FURIOUS (furios@) TO DRIVE SOMEBODY UP TO THE WALL (sacar a alguien de quicio) TO DRIVE SOMEONE CRAZY (volver a alguien loco) TO BLOW UP ( reventar, estallar, enfadarse de forma explosiva) TO GET ON SOMEONE'S NERVES (molestar, irritar, poner de los nervios).
