The rules
- Some verbs are followed by the -ing form, such as enjoy, finish, avoid, mind and suggest: She enjoys reading.
- Other verbs are followed by to + verb, such as want, decide, hope, manage and refuse: We decided to leave early.
- After a preposition, a verb takes the -ing form: Thank you for helping me.
- Used to + verb is a past habit, but be used to + -ing means being familiar with something: I used to walk to school, so I am used to walking.
- An -ing adjective describes what causes a feeling, and an -ed adjective describes the person who feels it: The film was boring, so we were bored.
- Make and let take a plain verb with no to: The teacher let us leave early.
- Have something done means someone else does it for you: I had my bicycle repaired.
