Infinitives

Before we look at like + verb-ing, we need to learn about infinitives.

I want to sleep.

How many verbs are here?
There are two verbs. Verb 1. want and Verb 2. sleep.

The verb sleep has the word TO before it. This means the verb is in its infinitive form: to sleep.
To + verb is called an infinitive. To sleep is an infinitive.

Normally when two verbs are together, the second verb (verb number 2) is in its infinitive form.
In the original sentence, the second verb, sleep, is in its infinitive form: to sleep.

Another example:

I need to study.

There are two verbs in this sentence. Verb 1. need and Verb 2. study.
The second verb is in its infinitive form… TO study.

He wants to travel.

The second verb (travel) needs to be in its infinitive form (to travel). He wants TO travel.

This is the general rule about two verbs together and there are some exceptions like with modal verbs but we will see this in another lesson.

Verbs after LIKE

With the verb LIKE there are two ways of putting a verb after it.
You can say:

I like to sleep. (This is like + infinitive – which we have already seen)

But with the verb LIKE, we frequently use a verb ending in ING after it.

I like sleeping.

Sleeping is a verb ending in ING.
Another example. You can say:

I like to eat chocolate. …. OR you can say …
I like eating chocolate.

Is there a difference?
In general there isn’t a difference in meaning, though we sometimes use the infinitive (TO + VERB) to talk about habits or choices.

I like to eat chocolate for breakfast.
(This is my habit or my choice).
I like eating chocolate.
(This is more about what I like doing in general)

However, using a VERB+ING is more common than using an infinitive.

Love, Enjoy, Don’t Like, Hate + Verb-ing

I like sleeping.

This is an example of the verb like + verb ending in ING.
This rule of LIKE + Verb-ING also applies to other similar “liking” verbs such as:
Love, enjoy, don’t like, hate.
Note: don’t like is just the negative form of like.

I love reading in bed at night.
I enjoy playing video games.
I don’t like getting up early.
I hate washing the dishes.

Using a verb-ing after these verbs sound more natural.
In general we prefer to use the verb-ing after like, love or hate.

BUT…. with the verb ENJOY, if there is a verb after it, we can only use a VERB-ING and NOT an infinitive.

Enjoy + verb-ing

We enjoy playing cards.

After enjoy we have the verb ending in ING, in this case playing. We CANNOT say:

We enjoy to play cards. (This is NOT correct).

It is NOT possible to use enjoy + an infinitive.
Another example:

He enjoys going to the cinema.

enjoy + verb-ing, in this case going. This is correct.
We do NOT say:

He enjoys TO GO to the cinema. … This is NOT correct!

Negative sentences with LIKE + Verb-ING

To make negative sentences we use the rules of DON’T and DOESN’T before like.

I like writing essays. … becomes …
I don’t like writing essays.
He likes mowing the lawn. … becomes …
He doesn’t like mowing the lawn.

Remember there is no S at the end of the verb in negative sentences and questions.

More examples of negative sentences with like + verb-ing:

I don’t like waiting.
He doesn’t like eating spinach.
They don’t like going to the doctor.
She doesn’t like cleaning the house.

Questions with LIKE + Verb-ING

To make questions we use the rules of DO and DOES at the beginning of the question.

They like playing chess.

To make a question with they we use DO at the beginning, so it becomes…

Do they like playing chess?

Another example:

She likes baking cakes.

To make a question with she we use DOES at the beginning, so it becomes…

Does she like baking cakes?

Remember there is no S at the end of the verb in negative sentences and questions.

More examples of questions with like + verb-ing:

Do you like blowing bubbles?
Do they like taking selfies?
Does John like listening to music?
Does your grandmother like going to the gym?

The word «enjoy» is a verb similar to the verb «like.»

Jessica enjoys dancing.
Bob enjoys his new job.
The children enjoy their new Sony Playstation.
Chris enjoyed the coffee at that cafe.
He enjoyed having coffee with his friends.
I enjoy listening to music.
What do you enjoy doing?

There are two very important things to take note of for the verb «enjoy. First, this is a transitive verb, so it requires an object of some kind. Bob enjoys his new job. the word «job» is an object in that sentence. Second, the verb «enjoy» is often followed by a gerund. You can’t use an infinitive after «enjoy.»

I enjoy gardening. I enjoy ~~to garden~~. (No!)

This is one way in which «enjoy» is different from the verb «like.» After «like,» the use of either a gerund of an infinitive is okay:

I like gardening. I like to garden.

Here are some other common ways in which «enjoy» is used:

They’re enjoying themselves. («Enjoy» is often used with a reflexive pronoun.)
Are you enjoying yourself? (Are you having a good time?)
He enjoys being with other people. (The word «being» is a gerund, and it’s often used after «enjoy.)
She enjoys being a student.
Enjoy your trip! (This is a command. «Enjoy» is often used in the imperative form.)
Enjoy!*

You can add «able» as a suffix to «enjoy» to make the adjective, «enjoyable.»

The trip was enjoyable.
It was an enjoyable experience.
She had an enjoyable evening with her friends.

*Note: Sometimes «enjoy» is used as a one-word imperative sentence. The object here is implied and dependent on the situation. You often hear «enjoy» used this way by people who work in the hospitality industry, mainly wait staff and hotel workers. Enjoy!

My friend told me that the verb «enjoy» is one of the verbs that isn’t usually used with ‘ing». And that she studied that before. But I often see that «enjoy» is used when we describe a fact but «enjoying» when we are talking about what is happening now. Isn’t that right?
For example: «What’s your new job like? Are you enjoying it?»

Loob

Your friend is wrong, I’m afraid. We often use enjoy in the continuous tenses.

What your friend told you is nonsense.
I have no idea where she got that idea from.

Your friend is wrong, in this case. What she’s thinking of is the misleading claim that stative verbs can’t be used in the progressive aspect. Sometimes this is true, as in: I’m knowing what to do :cross: ; he’s being tall :cross: . But there are so many exceptions that’s it’s unhelpful advice.

I found the book in which «enjoy» was given as a stative verb. «English Grammar in Context» by Michael Vince. It says: «Normally stative verbs but often used in continuous for actions going on at the moment». These verbs are «love» «like» and «enjoy».

Yes. That’s right. But it doesn’t only apply to those three verbs. And I certainly don’t think enjoy should be lumped together with like and love in this context, since to “be enjoying” something has long been completely standard. But that aside, a whole list of stative verbs that also work dynamically is given at the beginning of that book (

http://www.macmillan.com.br/arquivo/catalogos/macmillanenglishgrammar_advanced/document.pdf

In short, any verb can be used in a progressive/continous tense to describe a temporary action (physical or mental) that is not ‘over in a flash’ but has a beginning and an end, between which it can be deemed to be part-way through – in progress.

Then why did they add «enjoy»? I don’t understand.

You’d have to ask the author “why?”.

In my view, the whole stative/dynamic verb classification is unhelpful for learners. It is misleading to suggest that there’s something intrinsically stative or dynamic about any verb. It all depends whether it’s being used to refer to a constant or temporary situation. I certainly think it’s wrong to place ‘enjoy’ in a list of stative verbs, given how commonly it’s used in the progressive aspect.

If I am not mistaken such verbs as «taste» and «prefer» can be used in progressive when we are talking about changes. For example, «the wine is getting more and more bitter» and «I am preferring to go to bed early». Am I right?

Your first example doesn’t even include the verb taste! And I am preferring does sound wrong.

Grammar Point
want / like / love / hate / thin
These verbs belong to a group known as stative verbs because they describe a state rather than an action (although think can describe either an action or a state). Stative verbs are not usually used in the progressive tenses. However, it is becoming more common for some stative verbs to be used with progressive tenses. Stative verbs such as want, like, love, hate and think are sometimes used in informal language to describe a state at a particular moment, or a state that continues for a period of time
Why are you wanting a new phone when your current one works perfectly well
What shall we do tonight? I’m thinking bowling
I’m loving the weather today
Other stative verbs that can be used this way include prefer, remember, taste and understand.

This is where I found «prefer».

Yes. Why has Oxford included it, I wonder? I can’t find any example of that usage on their Learner’s Dictionaries site.

Could you tell me if according to this use these examples are correct «the wine is getting more and more bitter» and «I am preferring to go to bed early»?

The wine is getting more and more bitter. :tick: (but irrelevant? get = become)

I am preferring to go to bed early. :cross:

The wine is getting more and more bitter. (but irrelevant? get = become)

I am preferring to go to bed early.

How do I use «prefer» with «ing» then?😳

Some sentences are impossible because progressive aspect does have limitations:

He is having got to get his car fixed. [Both «is having to» and «has got to» are possible, but not «is having got to».]
I was using to have two dogs. [«Use» in «I used to» and «I didn’t use to» has no progressive form in current Modern English.]
We are being to get married next Saturday. [Both «are getting» and «are to get» are possible, but not «are being to get».]
She has been being to London. [«has been to London», «had been to London», «to have been to London», and the gerund phrase «having been to London» are all possible, but «being to London» is not.]
They are oughting to be there. [«Ought» has no present participle in Modern English.]
You are maying be there too. [«May» has no present participle in Modern English.]

However, «I’m knowing what to do», «He’s being tall», and «I am preferring to go to bed early» are not really impossible sentences. They are just very unusual.
