A Small Test on English Grammar
1. Which of the following sentences requires an infinitive, and which an -ing form, and why?
a. I saw him ________ (fall) off the chair.
b. I found May _________ (read) my diary.
c. I have never seen May ________ (dance).
2. Fill in the proper form of the verb:
'I've bought the tickets for "Unstoppable"?'
'Great! When _______ we _________ (watch) it?'
3. What is wrong with the following sentence?
I think she does not love me.
Answers:
1.a. fall
1.b. reading
1.c. either form will do
Primary school teachers normally tell the students the bare infinitive and the –ing form are interchangeable. In fact they seldom are. Only 1.c. falls under this category. Normally, the rule is that if someone did something and we saw it, we use the infinitive; if someone was doing something and we saw it, we use the –ing form.
2. When are we going to watch it? Or
When are we watching it?
The tickets have been bought and it has been decided. The continuous tense is then used.
3. I don’t think she loves me.
When we use verbs such as think, suppose and believe to introduce a negative idea, we make these verbs negative, not the verb in the subordinate clause. Similarly, we don’t say I think he is not coming. We say I don’t think he is coming.
