Verb Patterns

Llamamos verb patterns o patrones de verbo a la forma en que se organizan y se conjugan dos verbos
consecutivos en una oración. Existen diferentes tipos de verb patterns y su forma depende del primer verbo en
la oración, es decir, el primer verbo condiciona la forma del segundo.

Verb + gerund (-ing):

Se usa con verbos que hablan de situaciones reales que ya has vivido, como like, love, hate, enjoy. Lo que pasa
con los verb patterns es que el primer verbo se conjuga según la persona, y el segundo se pone en alguna
forma dependiendo del verbo anterior.

Example:

 INSTITUCIÓN EDUCATIVA PAPAGALÁ English Class JOSE ALEY HERNÁNDEZ VILLAMIL 8th
General Rule
La regla del -ing simplemente nos dice que para formar el gerundio en inglés basta añadir —ing al verbo. La
terminación
-ing se corresponde con —ando y —endo del español.
 play playing
 read reading
 wait waiting

Rules
1. Los verbos que terminan en —e, quitan la —e antes de añadir —ing. Si terminan en —ee, hacen el
gerundio normalmente.
 love > loving
 come > coming
 see > seeing

2. Los verbos formados por una sola sílaba que solo tienen una vocal y terminan en consonante, doblan esa
consonante antes de añadir —ing.
 run > running
 win > winning
 sit > sitting

3. Los verbos de dos sílabas con la acentuación en la segunda sílaba también doblan la consonante.
 begin > beginning
 prefer > preferring
 admit > admitting

4. Los verbos terminados en —y hacen el gerundio normalmente.

 play > playing
 study > studying
 carry > carrying

Activity 3: Write two sentences with each rule in your notebook or portfolio. Use the examples in the
explication of each rule.
