Introduction to Gerunds and Infinitives: Improve your English with Gerunds & Infinitives! 動名詞と不定詞の紹介

A great textbook to help with Gerunds and Infinitives: https://amzn.to/3jmc5g2 Are you ready to improve your English skills and sound more like a native speaker by learning about Gerunds and Infinitives? In today’s English lesson you will enjoy a brief introduction to gerunds and infinitives.

First, you will learn the differences between gerunds and infinitives and how to correctly make each one. A gerund is: ‘verb + ing’, and an infinitive is: ‘to + a base verb’. The sentences: “I like eating,” and “I like to eat” both have the same meaning. “I like eating,” uses the gerund (eating), while “I like to eat” uses the infinitive (to eat). This lesson explores several example sentences using gerunds and infinitives, and challenges you to create this grammar point yourself. In addition to positive sentence structure, this lesson also gives a few examples of negative sentences using both gerunds and infinitives.

After looking at several sentences where the gerund and infinitives after the main verb have the same meaning, this lesson also introduces you to the idea that there are a few main verbs that will create different meanings based on whether you use a gerund or an infinitive. For example, the verb, ‘stop’. “I stopped drinking coffee” and “I stopped to drink coffee” both have different meanings. So after the main verb, stop, if you use the gerund or the infinitive, you have two different meanings. I stopped drinking coffee means that you have given up coffee and that you don’t drink it at all anymore. I stopped to drink coffee means that you were busy doing something and you took a short break from what you were doing so that you could drink coffee. There are only a few verbs in English where the meaning will change like this, so don’t get too worried.

Finally, this lesson introduces you to the idea that after some verbs you can only use a gerund and after some verbs you can only use a gerund. Verbs like ‘want’ and ‘need’ only use infinitives afterwards (I want to travel, I need to sleep). Verbs like ‘enjoy’ and ‘avoid’ only use gerunds afterwards (I enjoy swimming, I avoid talking to strangers).

Trying to remember which verbs can only be followed by gerunds and which verbs can only be followed with an infinitive may seem challenging, so check out the textbook I recommend for help with gerunds and infinitives: https://amzn.to/2Df5z8O

素晴らしいテキストが, 動名詞と不定詞を理解するのに役立ちます: https://amzn.to/2Df5z8O

英語のスキルを向上させて動名詞や不定詞を学ぶ事で ネイティブスピーカーの様に話せるようになりたい？
最初に貴方は,動名詞と不定詞の違いやどうやって それぞれを正確に作るかを学ぶ。動名詞と不定詞は, 両方ともに文の目的語になりえる。
動名詞は, "動詞＋ing', と不定詞は, 'to＋動詞の原形'になる。
"I like eating"と"I like to eat"両方同じ意味になります。
"I like eating,"は, 動名詞を使い,"I like to eat"は, 不定詞を使う。
授業では、幾つかの動名詞や不定詞の例文を勉強することにより、自分で英文を作れる様になる。
動名詞 不定詞共に 肯定文のみならず 否定文もこの授業で 見ていく。
同じ意味を持つ主動詞の後の動名詞と不定詞を見た後、
この授業では 動名詞と不定詞のどちらか一方が 異なる意味を作りだす幾つかの主動詞もみる。例えばその動詞は'stop'. "I stopped drinking coffee"と"I stopped to drink coffee"です。両方違う意味を持つ。
主動詞'stop'の後にもし動名詞又は不定詞を使うなら二つは違う意味になる。I stopped drinking coffeeの意味は、貴方が 珈琲をやめてもう二度と飲まないの意味です。I stopped to drink coffeeの意味は,貴方が何かで忙しく それから小休止して珈琲を飲んだという意味です。
この様に意味が変わる動詞は わずかなので 心配いりません。
最後にこの授業では,動名詞だけを使う幾つかの動詞や不定詞だけを使う幾つかの動詞を紹介します。
'want'や'need'等の動詞は 後に不定詞だけを使う.'enjoyやavoid等の動詞は、後に動名詞だけを使う.
どちらの動詞が,きた後に動名詞がきて どちらの動詞, きた後に不定詞がくるのかを 覚えるのをトライするのは チャレンジでしょうが 練習することで簡単になります.
