*Haat, hou van, liefhê en verkies* Ons kan *haat, hou, liefhê en verkies* met 'n -ingvorm of met 'n na-infinitief gebruik. In Amerikaanse Engels is die vorme met tot-infinitief baie meer algemeen as die -ing-vorm. Daar is 'n baie klein betekenisverskil tussen die twee vorme. Die *-ingvorm* beklemtoon die *handeling of ervaring.* Die *na-infinitief* gee meer klem op die *resultate* van die aksie of gebeurtenis. Ons gebruik dikwels die -ing-vorm om genot (of gebrek daaraan) voor te stel, en die tot-infinitiewe vorm om gewoontes of voorkeure uit te druk. Die -ingvorm is meer algemeen as die tot-infinitiefvorm na *haat en liefde.* Wanneer ons "would"met *haat, hou, liefhê of verkies* gebruik, gebruik ons die *tot-infinitief* , nie die -ing-vorm nie.*

*Oorgaand of onoorganklik* Sommige werkwoorde het altyd 'n voorwerp nodig. Dit word oorganklike werkwoorde genoem. Sommige werkwoorde het nooit 'n voorwerp nie. Dit word intransitiewe werkwoorde genoem. Sommige werkwoorde kan *met 'n objek (oorgaand)* of *sonder 'n voorwerp (onoorgaand) gebruik word.* Soms is die betekenis dieselfde. Byvoorbeeld: "Please bring coffee."- In hierdie sin "bring"is die werkwoord oorganklik; sy voorwerp is koffie, die ding wat gebring word. "The sun is shining."- In hierdie sin "shine"is die werkwoord onoorgaanbaar, dit vereis nie 'n voorwerp vir die sin om sin te maak nie.
