Forma afirmativa
- Estructura con infinitivo: sujeto + verbo 1 + to + verbo 2 en infinitivo + objeto.

- Estructura con gerundio: sujeto + verbo 1 + verbo 2 terminado en -ing + objeto.
- Ejemplo: I finished studying my math lesson.
Forma negativa
- Con infinitivo: sujeto + verbo auxiliar + not + verbo 1 + to + verbo 2 en infinitivo + objeto.
- Ejemplo: I didn't forget to buy you a present.
- Con gerundio: sujeto + verbo auxiliar + not + verbo 1 + verbo 2 terminado en -ing + objeto.
- Ejemplo: We don't mind going by bus.
Forma interrogativa
- Con infinitivo: verbo auxiliar + sujeto + verbo 1 + to + verbo 2 en infinitivo + objeto + ?
- Ejemplo: Do you agree to invite her to the party?

Listas de verbos comunes

| agree | avoid | begin |
| ask | enjoy | bother |

| forget | imagine | hate |
| help | mind | like |
| learn | spend | love |
| need | suggest | prefer |
| offer | recommend | start |
| plan | remember | |

Respuesta orientativa: Para dominar estas estructuras conviene memorizar las listas, practicar con oraciones propias y observar el verbo principal para decidir si el segundo verbo va en infinitivo o en gerundio.
