| NOTE: • Help is followed by either the to infinitive or the bare infinitive. She helped me (to) fix the bicycle. • Some verbs can take a full infinitive or the -ing form with no difference in meaning. These verbs are: begin, hate, like, love, prefer, start, etc. He likes to watch / watching the birds. • If the subject of the verb is the same as the subject of the infinitive, then the subject of the infinitive is omitted. If, however, the subject of the verb is different from the subject of the infinitive, then an object pronoun (me, you, him, etc. ), a name (Helen) or a noun (the man) is placed before the infinitive. Compare: I want to be back by 10 o'clock. I want him to be back by 10 o'clock. |
