Mostly causative verbs in the sentence “Sbj, Verb, Obj, इन्फिनितिवे كورسات اللغة الانجليزية”

Mostly causative verbs in the sentence “Sbj, Verb, Obj, Infinitive”
This list is all the English verbs (that I’ve been able to find) whose complement has the syntax “OBJECT, INFINITIVE” whose object is a person who is the subject of the infinitive verb.
Why can only these ninety verbs use this special syntax? We can guess that the answer points to the centrality of Desire, Conflict and Influence in human relations and interests.
This list doesn’t include verbs whose complement has the syntax “OBJECT, INFINITIVE” whose object is the subject of the infinitive verb only when the subject (of the non-infinitive verb) is the non-referential “it,” as in “It disappoints/surprises/shocks/thrills me to hear this.”
Almost all English verbs can have a complement whose syntax is “OBJECT, INFINITIVE” when the subject is the subject of the infinitive verb. But in those sentences, “to” has a different meaning: “in order to.” The note below on “need” explains this.

Notes on the asterisked verbs

behoove & beseech. formal and rare.
employ. This verb belongs in this list only when it means “hire.” When “employ” means “use,” its subject is the subject of the infinitive complement.
get. “Get sb to VERB” means “cause/persuade/ trick/enable sb to VERB by using creativity or some other kind of special effort.”
help. The word “to” is optional before the infinitive verb in the complement of “help.”
need. “To” has two different meanings in different sentences: the meaning it has in the complement of all this list’s other verbs and “in order to.” In the latter case, the subject (not the object) is the infinitive’s subject. Examples: If I say, “I need my wife to pick me up today,” then I hope that she will pick me up, and she is the only person who can be understood as the infinitive’s subject, but “I need my wife to be happy” can mean either “I need my wife’s being happy” or “To be happy, I need my wife,” and “I need my computer to be happy” can have only one interpretation (the one that doesn’t fit the special syntax of this list’s verbs).
require. The verb has two different meanings in different sentences: “obligate” and “need”. When the meaning is “need,” the subject (not the object) is the infinitive’s subject.
tell. The meaning of “tell sb to VERB” is “instruct/command sb to VERB.”
thank. In its meaning and attitude, “thank sb to VERB” differs from the much more common syntax of the complement of “thank,” which is “sb for VERB-ing.” A speaker who says, “I’ll thank you to VERB” expresses an impatient wish for the listener to VERB; this use of “thank” is a polite euphemism which uses irony to thinly cover the speaker’s hostility. “Thank sb to VERB” is used only after the future auxiliary “will” (or its contracted form, “’ll”) and almost always its subject is first person and its object is second person.
would like. This is the politely weak substitute for “want.” It applies to the current (present) moment. Unlike “want sb/would like sb to VERB,” “like sb to VERB” doesn’t apply specifically to the current moment, and is therefore less demanding.

كورسات اللغة الانجليزية Phrasal Verbs: Notes from the blackboard

Phrasal Verbs: Notes from the blackboard
From Thursday, Nov. 4th
Erica Cerza for Professor Sisti

Original Latinate verb Phrasal verb form
1. To consume 1. To use up
2. To extinguish 2. To put out
3. To recover 3. To get better
4. to surrender 4. To give in

Definition of a phrasal verb: a verb combined with a preposition, adverb, or adverbial particle, where the particle is crucial to the meaning of the verb.

Three Rules of phrasal verbs
The meaning of a phrasal verb changes when:
1. the particle changes.
Example: to look in on = to visit someone who is not well.
to look down on = to feel superior to someone else.
2. the location of the particle in the phrasal verb changes.
Example: to see through a plan = to realize that something is false.
to see a plan through = to execute/carry out a plan.
3. the context of the phrasal verb changes (while the grammatical form remains exactly the same).
Example: John fell for a lie = someone told John a lie, and he believed it.
John fell for Susan = John fell in love with Susan.

Two types of phrasal verbs:
literal and idiomatic

Some phrasal verbs have literal meanings as well.
Example: to put down, to pick up, to take off.

Development over time of metaphorical and idiomatic meaning
Example: “to look after” originally meant “to watch someone as they go away” (the mother looked after her child). Now it means “to take care of.”

It is necessary to understand the context of the phrasal verb (from surrounding text/conversation) in order to understand what it means.

Examples of phrasal verbs with two distinct meanings:
1. to keep one’s head above water = to prevent from drowning (literal sense); to prevent going into financial debt (metaphorical sense).
2. to take off = to remove (I took off my shoes); to leave (the airplane takes off at 8:00); to not go to work (I took off Friday because I was tired).

Pick Up Example
How many meanings can one phrasal verb have?!
1. to obtain (I picked up the book). [literal meaning]
2. to clean (pick up your room before I get mad!).
3. to obtain people (the car picked up its passengers).
4. to buy (I picked up this shirt at the store).
5. to learn (she picks up foreign languages easily).
6. to collect (he picked up his mail at the post office).
7. to pay (I picked up the bill for lunch/I paid for lunch).
8. to get sick (if you’re not careful, you’ll pick up a virus overseas).
9. to get acquainted with someone in a romantic way (he picked her up at the bar).
10. to arrest (the police picked up the robber).
11. to recognize (the dog picked up the scent of the kidnapper).
12. to increase financially (the sales in stores usually pick up around the holidays).
13. to leave suddenly (I picked up and left town).
14. NOUN FORM: the pick-up is parked in the driveway (a specific kind of truck).

Nouns formed from phrasal verbs
1. Makeup (from “to make up” or “to put makeup on”)
2. Blackout (from “to black out”)
3. Dropout (from “to drop out”)
4. Letdown (from “to let down”)
5. Blow-up (from “to blow up”)

Phrasal verbs formed from nouns
1. to google (to search on the Internet; from “google”)
2. to text (to send a text message; from “text”)
3. to bullshit (to do something poorly; from “bullshit”)
4. to half-ass (to do something poorly, unfinished; from “half-ass”)

كورسات اللغة الانجليزية Verbs that use an indirect object: Expressing likes, dislikes, surprise, interest, annoyance, pain etc.

Verbs that use an indirect object: Expressing likes, dislikes, surprise, interest, annoyance, pain etc.

Many verbs in English use an indirect object to form an expression. (ie. Writing bores me. ) Several verbs in Spanish take the same format. With these special or “transitive” verbs, the subject comes after the noun.

We have used “gustar” to express likes; –Me gusta fútbol—I like soccer. However, gustar literally means “to be pleasing to. Me gusta fútbol---Soccer is pleasing to me.

Verbs like gustar share the same format: the “subject” or item being liked follows the verb. Thankfully we only use two of the forms of gustar and verbs like it—third person singular (for singular items and infinitives) and third person plural (for plural items).

Me gusta(n)-- I like/____is pleasing to me Nos gusta(n)—We like/____is pleasing to us
Te gusta(n)—You like/____is pleasing to you
Le gusta(n)—He/she likes/ ___ is pleasing to him/her Les gusta(n)—They like/___is pleasing to them

Third person singular form (he/she/you formal) is used for singular items or an infinitive.
A él, le gusta fútbol. –He likes soccer. Soccer is pleasing to him.
Nos gusta pizza. We like pizza.

Third person plural form (they, you all) is used for plural items only.
A mi madre, le gustan papas fritas.—My mom likes French fries.
Nos gustan libros nuevos.—We like new books.

Remember: Le and Les must be clarified by using “A + a name, noun, or pronoun” because le and les can stand in for so many people. Using “A + a name, noun, or pronoun” with me, te, or nos helps to add emphasis.

Other verbs that work like gustar:
disgustar-to disgust Me disgustan los ratones. –Rats disgust me.
encantar-to enchant A Elena, le encanta el tiovivo.—The merry go round enchants Elena.
enojar-to anger Me enojan hermanitos. o Hermanitos me enojan. --Little brothers make me mad.
fascinar-to fascinate Me facinaban coches.—Cars always fascinated (used to fascinate) me.
aburrir-to bore Me aburren matematicas.—Math bores me.
asustar-to scare Nos asusta el oscuro.—Darkness scares us.
importar-to be important to Me importa estudiar.—Studying is important to me.
Interesar—to interest A ellos, les interesa beisbol.—Baseball interests them.
Irritar—to irritate A mí, me irritaban personas tantas.—Stupid people always (really) irritated me.
Enfurecer-to infuriate A mi madre, le enfurecen mis notas.—My grades infuriate my mother.
Sorprender-to surprise Me sorprende la fiesta.—The party surprised me.
Molestar—to bother/annoy Este me molesta.—This bothers me.
Preocupar-to preoccupy Te preocupa el problema.—The problem worries/preoccupies you.
Quedar-to have left/remaining Nos quedan sandwiches.—We have sandwiches left.
Faltar-to need/not have/lack Nos falta agua.—We don’t have any/need/are lacking water.

Several expressions with dar also follow this pattern:
Dar lo mismo/dar igual- to be all the same to/not to matter to.
Dar miedo-to scare/frighten
Dar pena-to sadden/make sad
Dar risa-to make laugh/ give merriment

--¿Qué película quieres ver? --What movie do you want to see?
--Me da igual. --It’s doesn’t matter to me. (It’s all the same to me)
--Vamos a ver “La Noche”. --Let’s go see “The Night.”
--A no, eso me daban miedo. --Oh no, that used to scare me.
--Bien. Las películas de Jim Carey me dan risa. --O.k. Jim Carey movies make me laugh.
--Sí, a mi, me gustan películas de Jim Carey. --Yeah, I (really) like Jim Carey movies.

Tool to remember: Verbs like gustar follow this pattern:
Indirect object pronoun + form of verb + subject

كورسات اللغة الانجليزية Teacher Activity for “I’ll Come Along,” Phrasal Verbs

Teacher Activity for “I’ll Come Along,” Phrasal Verbs
Description: This song can be used to teach a variety of phrasal verbs. This lesson plan comes with flashcards that can help students study the phrasal verbs on their own.

Before the song (choose one or more of the following):
1. Ask students if they can identify the differences among the following phrasal verbs:
a. get over (recover OR finish)
b. get by (survive a difficult situation)
c. get across (make something understandable)
d. get around (move from place to place OR avoid)
2. Explain to students that one of the most difficult aspects of the English language is that it has a number of expressions in the form of idioms and phrasal verbs. It is important to learn to guess the meaning of phrasal verbs because sometimes one phrasal verb can have very different meanings.
a. The policeman gave him a warning. This time, the man got off without a ticket. (avoid punishment)
b. What holidays do you get off next semester? (excused vacation)
c. The man in the train told me that the next station was where he gets off. (leave a vehicle)
d. INFORMAL: The man said he got off on drugs and alcohol. (finds enjoyment, often immoral behavior)

During the song (choose one or more of the following):
1. Have students complete the cloze passage OR
2. As they listen to the song and with a copy of the lyrics, have students circle the words they believe are phrasal verbs.

After the song (choose one or more of the following):
1. Have students create a “non-phrasal verb” version of the song by having them come up with “interpretations” of each line.
Example: I’ll come along if you sit tight
Means “I’ll follow you if you stay with me”
2. Have students create sentences of their own using the phrasal verbs from the song.

Creative ideas (For more creative ideas, go to “Creative Ideas” on the homepage.)
1. Use the flashcards to have students practice memorizing phrasal verbs. Make sure students learn sentences rather than just meanings, as phrasal verbs can be tricky!

تعليم اللغة الانجليزية Changing Verbs

There are a group of verbs in Spanish known as stem-changing verbs. There are three types of stem-changing verbs: e  i, e  ie, o  ue. The only way to know which verbs in Spanish are stem-changing verbs is to memorize the verb and the type of change it takes.

These verbs are often refered to as shoe verbs or boot verbs because of the shape that they take when they’re conjugated.

Let’s start with an e  i verb. I’m going to take the verb “servir” from the book, which means “to serve.” Just like you have to memorize the meaning, you’ll have to memorize that it is an e  i stem-changing verb. When you start to conjugate this verb, the “e” inside servir will change to an “i” in all forms except the nosotros/as and vosotros/as forms. Then, since it is an -ir verb, we’ll tack on the regular –ir verb endings on the end. Take a look:

servir (i)

(yo) sirvo (nosotros/as) servimos
(tú) sirves (vosotros/as) servís
(él, ella, Ud.) sirve (ellos, ellas, Uds.) sirven

By forming the conjugations like I did above, you can see why some people call these verbs shoe verbs or boot verbs. If you look at only the forms that change from “e” to “i,” you can see that they resemble the shape of a boot. It is even more noticeable if you draw a single large circle around only the forms that change.


Now let’s do an e  ie verb. I’m going to pick out “regar” from the book. Regar means “to water [plants]” and we will have memorized that it is an e  ie verb. This again means that when we start to conjugate it, the “e” in the stem of regar will change to “ie” inside the boot. And, since it’s an –ar verb, don’t forget that it will require the –ar verb endings.

regar (ie)

riego regamos
riegas regáis
riega riegan


Let’s do another e  ie verb. This time, let’s do “preferir.” Preferir is an –ir verb that means “to prefer.” When we conjugate it, we’ll have to change an “e” to an “ie” in every form but the nosotros/as and vosotros/as forms. But, preferir has two “e’s.” How do we know which one changes? Whenever this happens, just remember that the vowel that changes is always the one closest to the end. So, in this case, it will be the 2nd “e.”

preferir (ie)

prefiero preferimos
prefieres preferís
prefiere prefieren


I want to end with the last type of stem-changing verb, the o  ue type. (The only exception is “jugar,” which is the only u  ue verb in the language.) Here the “o” inside each verb will change to “ue” in all the forms inside the boot, which are all the forms minus the nosotros/as and vosotros/as forms. I will do “poder” as my example. It means “to be able to, or can [as in “can do something”].” Since poder is an –er verb, don’t forget to put the –er verb endings on the end of each conjugation.

poder (ue)

puedo podemos
puedes podéis
puede pueden


Once you understand this concept, again you’ll really have to memorize which verbs
change and then which change they take. You will need to be able to pick out stem-changing verbs from among other normal verbs in the exam and you’ll need to know their exact change. I’m only warning you because many students master this concept of stem-changing verbs only in isolation and are unable to recognize these verbs when mixed up with other verbs (which is what you need to do). Regular studying and flash-cards can help this.

Continuous and Non-Continuous Verbs

*Continuous and Non-Continuous Verbs*

English verbs can be divided into three major categories.

1. Normal verbs describe actions and can be expressed in any tense.
2. Non-continuous verbs describe a condition or a state of being. These verbs
cannot be used with the auxiliary verb "to be."
3. Mixed verbs have two meanings, one which describes an action and one which describes a state of being.


Normal Verbs
Normal verbs describe actions. A normal verb usually describes an activity that you can see. We can use the auxiliary verb "to be" to say that an action is happening right now
.
I am running.
He is sleeping.

We can also describe things happening in the past or the future.

Thomas was sleeping.
She will be starting a new job.

We can state that something is not happening, or phrase it as a question.
I was not kidding.
Were they playing baseball?

Non-Continuous Verbs
These are also called state verbs because they describe a condition or state of being.
Non-continuous verbs describe the way that something is, not an action. Non-continuous verbs never use the auxiliary verb "to be."

Abstract Verbs

A verb is non-continuous if it describes something that is not a concrete physical action. Here are some examples.

I believe you. Not: I am believing you.
He is hungry. Not: He is being hungry.
They owe money. Not: They are owing money.


*Verbs of Possession

Verbs which describe owning or belonging are non-continuous.

He owns a house. Not: He is owning a house.
The car belongs to Sam. Not: The car is belonging to Sam.


*Verbs of Emotion

Verbs describing an emotional state are non-continuous.
I like apple juice. Not: I am liking apple juice.
Romeo loves Juliet. Not: Romeo is loving Juliet.
She wants spaghetti. Not: She is wanting spaghetti.


*Mixed Verbs

Mixed verbs have more than one meaning. They can be used to describe an action or a state of
being.

Here are some examples.

We are having dinner. ("Having" describes the act of eating dinner)
I have a university degree. Not: I am having a university degree. ("Have" describes possession)
I am tasting this wine. (Describes the act of tasting)
This wine tastes sweet. Not: This wine is tasting sweet. (Describes the state of the wine)
You are being rude. (In this context, "being" means "acting or behaving," so it is a normal verb.)
You are short. Not: You are being short. (In this context, "are" describes a state of being)

SUMMARY OF NON-FINITE VERBS/CLAUSES

SUMMARY OF NON-FINITE VERBS/CLAUSES

Non-finite Clauses

• Remember the definition of a clause = the unit formed around a lexical verb containing all the bits a verb requires as well as optional bits that the speaker/writer chooses to include.
• When a clause is not part of another clause, then it is a SENTENCE.
• A MAIN CLAUSE is that part of a COMPLEX SENTENCE that may stand alone as a sentence itself. The SUBORDINATE CLAUSE is that part of a COMPLEX SENTENCE which depends on the MAIN CLAUSE and which cannot stand alone as a sentence.
• Sentences are always FINITE. This means that the verb of the MAIN CLAUSE is always finite. That is, it carries present or past tense. In this text, MODALS do not carry tense, but they are considered by grammarians to carry present and past tense and are therefore FINITE.
• The verbs in the SUBORDINATE CLAUSES may be FINITE or NON-FINITE. A SUBORDINATE CLAUSE with a FINITE verb in it is called a FINITE CLAUSE. A SUBORDINATE CLAUSE with a NON-FINITE verb in it is called a NON-FINITE CLAUSE.
• The forms of the NON-FINITE (untensed) verbs are 4:
• To + infinitve (She wants to hold the baby) to hold the baby is a non-finite clause which functions as a DIRECT OBJECT in this particular example sentence.
• Bare infinitive (without the ‘to’) (She made him hold the baby) hold the baby is a non-finite clause which functions as an OBJECT COMPLEMENT in this sentence.
• -en past participle (Bored by the baby, she left) Bored by the baby is a non-finite clause which functions as an ADVERBIAL in this sentence.
• -ing present participle (She left him holding the baby) holding the baby is a non-finite clause which functions as an ADVERBIAL in this sentence.
• As you can see above, the NON-FINITE CLAUSE may serve a variety of functions just as FINITE CLAUSES do: Subject, Object, Adverbial, etc.
• NON-FINITE verbs may be more complex with additional auxiliaries (She wants to have held the baby)


Relative Clause

• NON-FINITE CLAUSES can function as POST-MODIFIERS of head noun in NP just like relative clauses do in FINITE CLAUSES: The letter for you to type is on your desk.
• NON-FINITE CLAUSES may appear as POST-MODIFIER of a head noun inside of a noun phrase (just as a RELATIVE CLAUSE may do).
• The NON-FINITE CLAUSE as post-modifier inside a NOUN PHRASE takes on the function of the entire HOUN PHRASE in which it is included.

Adverbial Clause

• NON-FINITE CLAUSES can also function as ADVERBIALS.
• As ADVERBIALS can appear in more than one position in S, the NON-FINITE CLAUSE functioning as ADVERBIAL (S2) is shown in the tree diagram as being immediately dominated by S1 .
• NON-FINITE verbs/clauses functioning as ADVERBIAL may take the forms
• -ing (Whistling cheerfully, he typed the letters)
• to + infinitve (To type the letter accurately, he worked hard)
• -en (Exhausted by his efforts, he left early)

Notes on Reflexive Verbs

Notes on Reflexive Verbs

*To say that people do something to or for themselves, you use reflexive verbs. For example, washing one’s hands and brushing one’s hair are reflexive actions because the person doing the action also receives the action.
Antes de una cita, (yo) me ducho y me arreglo el pelo.

*You know that a verb is reflexive if its infinitive form ends with the letters se.
ducharse

*The reflexive pronouns in Spanish are me, te, se, nos, and se. Here are the present-tense forms of the reflexive verb secarse:
Yo me seco Nosotros nos secamos
Tú te secas
Él/Ella/Ud. se seca Ellos/Ellas/Uds. se secan

*Some verbs have both reflexive and non-reflexive forms and usages. A verb is used in its non-reflexive form if the action is being done to someone or something else.
Lavo el coche a veces. I wash the car sometimes.
Me lavo el pelo todos los días. I wash my hair everyday.

*When you use a reflexive verb with parts of the body or clothing, use the definite article.
¿Siempre te pintas las uñas? Do you always polish your nails?
Felipe se pone los zapatos. Felipe puts on his shoes.

*You can put reflexive pronouns before the conjugated verb or you can attach them to the infinitive.

Me voy a duchar.
Voy a ducharme.
Te tienes que vestir para la fiesta.
Tienes que vestirte para la fiesta.
