  2. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt had starred Mr and Mrs Smith
  3. The actress has worn a beautiful dress
  4. Shakespeare's books have inspired a lot of films.

 CAUSATIVE: GET/HAVE+ object+Past participle

  • I cleaned my house. (This means I cleaned it myself).
If I paid someone to clean it, of course I can say:

But, another way is to use a causative construction. So I can also say:
  • I had/got my house cleaned.

1.The hairdresser cuts the hair of the protagonist. 

The protagonist__________________________________

Gerund or infinitive

1. as the subject of a sentence

S+GER
 
Studying is my favourite hobby.

2. following a preposition

Prep + Ger

 This rule applies to all prepositions, including ones that are part of phrasal verbs

  • They are planning on buying a present to the wonderful English teacher.

3. as the object of a verb

V + Ger

This is the one position where both gerunds and infinitives are commonly used. The choice of which to use all depends on the verb. Some common ones are: advise, avoid, enjoy, finish, practise, quit, and suggest.

  • My teacher suggested studying for the upcoming test.

Infinitives

V + Inf

This is the one position where both gerunds and infinitives are commonly used. It all depends on the verb. Some common ones are: ask, choose, decide, get, need, plan, promise, and want.

  • They want to get their tests back as soon as possible.
  • The students are planning to have a party this Friday.

 
Don’t forget that some verbs take either a gerund or an infinitive with no change in meaning. While students don’t have to worry about these verbs, they should still be pointed out. Some common verbs are: like, love, and hate.

  • I love eating pasta.
  • I love to eat pasta.
FOLLOWED BY BOTH INFINITIVE (to…) AND GERUND (-ing) WITH DIFFERENCE IN MEANING

 REMEMBER
