*Hater, liker, elsker og foretrekker* Vi kan bruke *hate, like, elske og foretrekke* med en -ing-form eller med en til-infinitiv. På amerikansk engelsk er formene med til-infinitiv mye mer vanlige enn -ing-formen. Det er en veldig liten betydningsforskjell mellom de to formene. *-ing-formen* understreker *handlingen eller opplevelsen.* *Til-infinitiv* legger mer vekt på *resultatene* av handlingen eller hendelsen. Vi bruker ofte -ing-formen for å foreslå nytelse (eller mangel på det), og til-infinitiv-formen for å uttrykke vaner eller preferanser. -ing-formen er mer vanlig enn til-infinitiv-formen etter *hat og kjærlighet.* Når vi bruker "would"med *hat, liker, elsker eller foretrekker* , bruker vi *til-infinitiv* , ikke -ing-formen.*

*Transitiv eller intransitiv* Noen verb trenger alltid et objekt. Disse kalles transitive verb. Noen verb har aldri et objekt. Disse kalles intransitive verb. Noen verb kan brukes *med et objekt (transitivt)* eller *uten et objekt (intransitivt).* Noen ganger er meningen den samme. For eksempel: "Please bring coffee."- I denne setningen "bring"er verbet transitivt; dens gjenstand er kaffe, tingen som blir brakt. "The sun is shining."- I denne setningen "shine"er verbet intransitivt, det krever ikke et objekt for at setningen skal gi mening.

På den annen side sier adjektiver som slutter på *-ing* at *subjektet forårsaker en gitt følelse i miljøet* og at andre føler det slik på grunn av det.
