Forma -ing ir biežāk lietota nekā forma to-infinitīvs pēc formas *hate un love*.

*Vēlmes par tagadni vai nākotni* Mēs varam izmantot "to wish", lai runātu par kaut ko tādu, ko mēs vēlētos, lai tagadnē vai nākotnē būtu citādi. Mēs lietojam *vēlamies + pagātnes vienkāršo formu*: "I wish I spoke Italian." "I wish you were here." "I wish I had a big car."
