Gerunds after Verbs and Prepositions

Gerunds after Verbs and Prepositions

In English, there are many expressions which are comprised of a verb followed by a preposition which are then followed by a gerund.

Unfortunately there is no specific rule for these examples.

These examples when they appear should be learnt and memorised.


Examples:

"I´m thinking of going on holiday next week."

"They´re talking about setting up a company."

"I´m looking forward to hearing from you."


TOP TIP!

When you are studying this kind of structure, it is

important that you don´t overload your brain with too much

information.

Concentrate on the main examples and then once you have

those memorised, go from there.


Examples:

"I agree with buying a new car."

"I believe in helping disadvantaged people."

"I worry about starting new jobs."



Remember that practice makes perfect!

See you soon!

Have a nice weekend.
