Teaching points

• • decide/agree/want/plan + to-infinitive.
• • enjoy/avoid/finish + -ing.
• • preposition + -ing: interested in learning, look forward to hearing.
• • make/let + object + bare infinitive.
• • have + object + past participle for causative service.
• • must have + V3 = strong past deduction.
• • should have + V3 = past criticism/regret.
• • recommend/suggest/insist that + base form in formal subjunctive.

- أفعال مثل decide و agree يأتي بعدها to + الفعل. - أفعال مثل enjoy و avoid يأتي بعدها ing. - بعد حرف الجر نستخدم ing. - make/let + مفعول + الفعل الأساسي بدون to. - have + مفعول + V3 للسببية والخدمة التي يقوم بها شخص آخر. - must have + V3 للاستنتاج القوي عن الماضي. - should have + V3 للندم أو النقد على الماضي. - بعد recommend/suggest/insist that يمكن استخدام الفعل الأساسي في الأسلوب الرسمي. - عند تقديم كلمات مثل Rarely و Not only يحدث قلب في ترتيب الفاعل والفعل المساعد.
