RICORDA: la forma in ING del verbo (gerundio) in inglese si usa in molti casi. Fino ad ora hai visto i seguenti:
Nel PRESENT CONTINUOUS
Affermativa
SOGG + verbo BE + verbo in ing
Negativa
SOGG + verbo BE +NOT + verbo in ing
Dopo alcuni verbi, come i VERBI DI PREFERENZA:
LIKE, LOVE, PREFER, HATE, ENJOY, DISLIKE, DETEST,
CAN’T STAND, DON’T MIND + verbo in ING
I like cooking
(il verbo di preferenza invece non va mai al present continuous)
Dopo una PREPOSIZIONE:
Quindi si usa nelle espressioni:
I am good at playing the guitar
I’m bad at dancing
Are you interested in coming to the cinema?
Ma anche tutte le volte che in italiano ho una preposizione seguita da un
verbo all’infinito:
be tired of ...
be afraid of…
After eating = dopo aver mangiato
Before eating = prima di mangiare
Come verbo sostantivato che può essere il soggetto di una frase
(in italiano ho un infinito):
Smoking is dangerous for your health = fumare è dannoso per la salute
Interrogativa
verbo BE + SOGG + verbo in ing
