Hello. Welcome to 6 Minute Grammar with me, Alice.

And me, Finn. Hello.

Today we're talking about verb patterns.

Yes, we're looking at what happens when we use two verbs together in English.

We'll be looking at four verb patterns, and there's a quiz at the end of the programme, so listen carefully!

So, on with the show!

Our first pattern is verb plus gerund.

A gerund is the i-n-g form of a verb, words like seeing, complaining and giving are all gerunds.

And here's Catherine to give us some examples of the pattern verb plus gerund. Catherine.

I really enjoyed seeing Rachel again last night.
