1. Grammar
Gerunds, infinitives, participles and participial phrases.
1.1. Gerunds & Infinitives
Aquí trobareu un vídeo explicatiu sobre l'ús dels gerundis i els infinitius i seguidament, teniu tota l'explicació detallada.
USES OF THE GERUND
El gerundi (-ing form) es fa servir:
- Després de les preposicions.
Exemples: He is not good at playing basket. (=No és bo jugant al futbol.)
I start work after reading the newspaper. (=Començo a treballar després de llegir el diari.)
- Després de certs verbs.
Exemples: She doesn't mind waiting. (=No li fa res esperar.)
I enjoy dancing. (=M'agrada ballar.)
- Com a substantiu, sobretot quan és el subjecte d’una frase o
d’una oració quan parlem d'accions en general.
Exemples: Smoking is bad for you. (=Fumar és dolent per a vostè.)
My favourite hobby is painting. (=El meu hobby és la pintura.)
- Quan el subjecte del gerundi és diferent del de l'oració principal, l'indiquem amb un pronom personal objecte (me, him, her, them, etc.) o un adjectiu possessiu (my, your, his, her,our, etc.).
Exemples: It's not use teaching him how to drive. He doesn't want to learn. (=No serveix de res ensenyar-li a conduir. Ell no vol aprendre.)
John resents my working so hard. (=El John porta malament que jo treballi tant.)
USES OF THE INFINITIVE
Fem servir l'infinitiu sense to:
- Després de noms.
Exemples: The study suggests a new way to help pessimistic people. (=L'informe suggereix noves maneres d'ajudar els pessimistes.)
She reached a decision to look for a new job. (=Va arribar a la decisió de buscar una feina.)
- Després d'adjectius.
Exemples: It's wrong to look down when you feel sad. (= Està malament mirar cap avall quan estàs trist.)
He is young to drive. (=És jove per conduir.)
- Després d'alguns verbs: afford, be about, agree, appear, arrange, choose, decide, hope, manage, plan, prepare, promise, refuse, turn out.
Aquests són alguns dels que van amb gerundi o infinitiu:
Vetbs + gerund | Verbs + infinitive |
admit / advise / avoid / can’t help / can’t imagine / can’t stand / finish / give up/ imagine / keep / mention / mind / miss / practise / recommend / regret / report / resist / risk / suggest | afford / agree /appear /arrange / ask / attempt / beg / choose / dare / decide / demand / deserve / expect / fail / hesitate / hope / intend / learn / manage / mean / need /offer / prepare / pretend / promise / refuse /seem / threaten / wait / want / wish |
Atenció! |
En oracions negatives, posem not davant del gerundi i de l'infinitiu Exemples: Imagine not having friends! (= Imagina’t no tenir amics!) I can't imagine not seeing my family! (=No puc imaginar-me no veure la meva família.) Exemples: We agreed not to argue any more. (=Vam acordar no discutir més.)

VERBS + GERUND OR INFINITIVE
Alguns verbs poden anar amb gerundi o amb infinitiu, i pot haver-hi:

Exemples: I love learning languages. / I love to learn languages. (=M’encanta aprendre idiomes.)
They should start to have some fun. / They should start having some fun. (=Haurien de començar a passar-s'ho bé.)
- variació en el significat. Alguns exemples en són: forget, remember, stop, try.
forget + infinitiu = oblidar-se de fer una cosa en el futur.
forget + gerundi = oblidar-se d’alguna cosa que ha passat.
Exemples: She always *forgets to call me. (=Sempre s’oblida de telefonar-me.)
She’ll never *forget meeting him. (=Mai oblidarà el dia que el va conèixer.)
remember + infinitiu = recordar-se de fer una cosa en el futur.
remember + gerundi = recordar un fet passat.
Exemples: Please remember to post the letter! (=Recorda’t d’enviar la carta!)
I remember posting the letter last week. (=Recordo haver enviat la carta la setmana passada.)
stop + infinitiu (= parar per fer alguna cosa)
stop + gerundi (= parar una acció)
Exemples: He stopped to talk to me at school. (=Es va parar a parlar amb mi a l’institut.)
He stopped talking to me after we rowed. (=Va deixar de parlar-me quan ens vam barallar.)
try + infinitiu (= intentar fer una cosa (i normalment no reeixir-hi))
try + gerundi (= provar alguna cosa)
Exemples: I tried to run, but I was too tired. (=Vaig intentar córrer, però estava massa cansada.)
I tried running in order to get fit. (=Vaig provar a córrer per tal d'aprimar-me.)
Exercicis
1.2. Participles & participial phrases
To begin, here you are a video explaining what a participle and a participial phrase is.
A participle is a form of a verb that needs a helping verb. There are two kinds of participles: the present participle and the past participle.
A participial phrase is made up of the participle along with its objects and modifiers.
Forms
- The present participle of all verbs ends in ing. Examples: dancing, eating, becoming
- The past participle of regular verbs ends in ed. Examples: danced
- The past participles of irregular verbs have different forms. Examples: ate, became, forgotten, etc.
- The perfect participle is formed with having+ past participle. Examples: having walked . Or it can be formed with both active and passive verbs. Examples: having been given
Use
1. We can use present or past participles as adjectives:
Examples: He was frightened so he ran as fast as he could --- Frightened, he ran as fast as he could.
2. When one action happens at the same time as another action, we use the present participle:
Examples: Peter was laughing and fell out of his chair ---- Peter, laughing, fell out of his chair.
3. When one action happens before another action, we use the perfect participle:
Examples: After he had spent ten years in Italy, he could speak Italian fluently. ---- Having spent ten years in Italy, he could speak Italian fluently.
4. When one shot answer follows another short action, we can use the present participle instead of the perfect participle:
Examples: He picked up his phone. Then he went out. --- Picking up his phone, he left the house.
- Participial phrases describe situations using fewer words than other clauses. It is more common in written English.
Examples: Ben was exhausted after a long day so, he took a nap on the couch. --- Ben, exhausted after a long day, took a nap on the couch.
- With sense verbs such as see, watch, hear, feel and notice, a present participle emphasizes the entire action.
Examples: I saw the weather changing.
- When we aren't using the verbs, the participle and the main clause should have the same subject.
Examples: Talking to her friend, she forgot everything around her.
2. Writing
Writing: a formal style ( a covering mail or letter)
2.1. A formal letter or email
