Algunos verbos van seguidos de to y el verbo tal cual: want, decide, plan, hope, need, would like. Así que dices want to go, no want going.
want to go (to + verbo)
I want to learn English this year.
They decided to move to Senfarrow Brook.
We hope to see you soon.
She plans to visit Ghafwick this weekend.
Not "I want learning English." — say "I want to learn English.". Después de want, usa to y el verbo tal cual: want to learn.
Pruébalo: Sofia and Lars decided ___ to a new apartment. (to move / moving / move) Respuesta: to move — Después de decide, usa to y el verbo tal cual: decided to move. "Moving" es la forma -ing, que no va después de decide, y "move" le falta el to.
enjoy going (verbo + -ing)
Otros verbos van seguidos de la forma -ing: enjoy, finish, mind, avoid, keep, practice. Así que dices enjoy cooking, no enjoy to cook.
Sofia enjoys cooking Italian food.
Ethan finished writing his report.
I don't mind waiting outside.
Maya avoids eating sugar.
Not "Sofia enjoys to cook." — say "Sofia enjoys cooking.". Después de enjoy, usa la forma -ing: enjoy cooking.
Pruébalo: Hiroshi finished ___ his report at Magaff Library. (writing / to write / write) Respuesta: writing — Después de finish, usa la forma -ing: finished writing. "To write" y "write" no van después de finish, que lleva la forma -ing.
cómo formar la forma -ing
La forma -ing ya la escribes así: añade -ing al verbo tal cual (eat → eating, read → reading) y, si termina en -e muda, primero quítala (write → writing, take → taking, move → moving, no writeing). La ortografía no cambia aquí; lo nuevo es qué verbos van seguidos de esta forma.
eat → eating, do → doing (just add -ing)
write → writing (drop the -e, then add -ing)
take → taking, move → moving (drop the -e)
Ethan enjoys writing and cooking on weekends.
Not "Sofia enjoys writeing letters." — say "Sofia enjoys writing letters.". write termina en una -e muda, así que quita la e antes de -ing: write → writing.
Pruébalo: After work, Kenji enjoys ___ dinner. (make) (making / makeing / makking) Respuesta: making — "Make" termina en una -e muda, así que quita la e antes de -ing: make → making. "Makeing" conserva la e, y "makking" duplica la letra equivocada.
Pruébalo: Amina wants ___ a course, and she enjoys ___ new people. (to take … meeting / taking … to meet / to take … to meet) Respuesta: to take … meeting — Después de want, usa to y el verbo tal cual: want to take. Después de enjoy, usa la forma -ing: enjoy meeting. El primer verbo decide qué forma le sigue.
