"The prices are slightly higher than they were last year." "Those who start early will have a much better chance of meeting their goals." "The task is a lot easier than it sounds."

*Čo nasleduje po slovese?* V angličtine je veľa slovies a tým pádom aj veľa spôsobov, ako môže veta po slovese pokračovať. Niektoré bežné spôsoby sú: *Sloveso + infinitív s 'to'* "I decided to take the car to work." "He offered to cook dinner." *Sloveso + tvar s -ing* "It took years but I've finally quit smoking."

*Hate, like, love and prefer* *Hate, like, love and prefer* môžeme použiť s tvarom '-ing' alebo s 'to + infinitív'. V americkej angličtine sú tvary s 'to + infinitive' oveľa častejšie ako tvary na '-ing'. Medzi týmito dvoma tvarmi je veľmi malý významový rozdiel. * Forma s -ing* zdôrazňuje *dej alebo skúsenosť.* Formou *to + infinitive* sa viac zdôrazňujú *výsledky* činnosti alebo udalosti. Často používame tvar na -ing na vyjadrenie pôžitku (alebo jeho nedostatku) a tvar to-infinitív na vyjadrenie zvykov alebo preferencií. Forma na -ing je častejšia ako forma to + infinitív po *nenávidieť a milovať.* Keď používame "would" s *hate, like, love and prefer*, používame *to + infinitív*, nie tvar na -ing.

*Tranzitívne a intranzitívne slovesá* Niektoré slovesá vždy potrebujú predmet. Tieto slovesá sa nazývajú *prechodné*, alebo *tranzitívne*. Niektoré slovesá naopak predmet nikdy nemajú. Tie sa nazývajú *neprechodné - intranzitívne slovesá.* Niektoré slovesá možno použiť aj *s predmetom (tranzitívne)* alebo *bez predmetu (intranzitívne)*. Niekedy je ich význam rovnaký. Napríklad: "Please bring coffee." - V tejto vete je sloveso "bring" tranzitívne; jeho objektom je káva, vec, ktorá sa prináša. "The sun is shining." - V tejto vete je sloveso "shine" intranzitívne, nevyžaduje predmet, aby veta dávala zmysel.

*Priania týkajúce sa súčasnosti alebo budúcnosti* Pomocou slovesa "to wish" môžeme vyjadriť niečo, čo by sme chceli, aby sa v súčasnosti alebo v budúcnosti splnilo. Používame *wish + minulý čas jednoduchý*: "I wish I spoke Italian." "I wish you were here." "I wish I had a big car."
