Focus: Grammar in action

When one verb follows another verb, it can take one of three forms: do, to do, or doing.

There are no rules to help you choose the right form.

By hearing and repeating the example sentences in this lesson, you will begin to develop a feeling as to what 'sounds right'.

Step 1:

Watch the video lesson two or three times.

Recommendation: Create your personal list of the verbs and expressions that you often use and the form of the second verb after them. Keep revising this list.

Step 2:

When you have finished the video lesson, download the Exercise PDF below and do the exercises.

Step 3:

When you've finished the exercises, download the ZIP file below.

Use the Answer key PDF to check and correct your answers.

Then, use the Audio file to build strong reflexes through two listening activities:

Activity 1: Listen & write (or type) each correct answer.

Activity 2: Listen & repeat each correct answer out loud several times without looking at the text.

Step 4:

Now, take the quiz for more practice.

You need to get a minimum score of 80% in each quiz to receive your Certificate of Completion, so repeat the quiz until you score above 80%. You can take each quiz up to 10 times.
