Verb patterns

Sometimes in a sentence, one verb follows another. For example, I want to buy an electric car. The first verb is 'want', the second verb is 'buy'.

In sentences like this, there are different possible patterns. For example:

(a) I want to buy an electric car.

(b) I hate driving.

In sentence A, the first verb is followed by an infinitive.

In sentence B, the first verb is followed by a gerund (-ing) form.

I like reading every day = I enjoy the activity. It gives me pleasure

I hate to tell you this = I am sorry to tell you this

 I hate lying = I do not like this activity
