Answer 1

Ответ:

Поставьте глаголы в скобках в нужную форму. Аргументируйте ответ.
1 A: I want to organise a clean-up day.
▪︎ to organise (организовать)
После  want употребляется инфинитив с "to".
B: Really? Can I join you?
▪︎ join (присоединится)
После модального глагола "can" употребляется инфинитив без "to".

2 A: Ann’s eager to quit her job as a shop assistant.
▪︎ to quit (бросить)
to be eager to do smth — очень хотеть что-либо сделать
B: I know; she’s planning to move to London.
▪︎ to move (переезжать)

- т.к. после глагола plan употребляется инфинитив с "to".

3 A: I’d love to help poor people in other countries.
▪︎ to help (помогать)
Устойчивая фраза - I'd love to (I would like to)
B: Why don’t you donate money to charity then?
▪︎ donate (пожертвовать)
Why don't you - после этой конструкции инфинитив без "to".

4 A: We should all do something to protect the environment.
▪︎ to protect (защитить)
To - в значении "чтобы"
B: Yes, people need to stop cutting down so many trees.
▪︎ cutting (down) (вырубать)
После "stop" употребляется герундий (глагол с ing).

5 A: Would you consider joining a charity organisation?
▪︎ joining (присоединиться)
После consider (рассматривать, считать, полагать) употребляется герундий (глагол с "ing")
B: Definitely! Volunteering with other people can be fun.
▪︎ Volunteering (волонтерство)
На первом месте должно быть подлежащее. Глагол+ing=герундий.

6 A: What can I do to save the environment?
▪︎ do (сделать)
После модального глагола "can" употребляется инфинитив без "to".
B: You could try walking instead of driving to school.
▪︎ walking  (ходить пешком)
Try doing something - если нужно подчеркнуть, что выполняя действие, мы выполняем эксперимент, т.е. пробуем что-то новое, но исход этого эксперимента нам неизвестен, мы не знаем что может случиться в результате.
Конструкция try + герундий используется также если нужно посоветовать что-то кому-то, часто мы не переводим ее на русский язык.

7 A: I’m thinking of adopting an endangered animal.
▪︎ adopting (усыновление)
После предлогов употребляется герундий (глагол с "ing")
B: That’s amazing! I want to care for one too!
▪︎ to care (заботиться)
После  want употребляется инфинитив с "to".

Answer 2

1 A: I want to organize a clean-up day. B: Really? Can I join you?

Reason: In the first sentence, "organize" is in the infinitive form because it follows the modal verb "want." In the second sentence, "join" is in the base form because it follows the modal verb "can."

2 A: Ann’s eager to quit her job as a shop assistant. B: I know; she’s planning to move to London.

Reason: In both sentences, "to quit" and "to move" are in the infinitive form because they express Ann's intentions.

3 A: I’d love to help poor people in other countries. B: Why don’t you donate money to charity then?

Reason: In the first sentence, "to help" is in the infinitive form because it follows the modal verb "love." In the second sentence, "donate" is in the base form because it follows the modal verb "don't."

4 A: We should all do something to protect the environment. B: Yes, people need to stop cutting down so many trees.

Reason: In the first sentence, "to protect" is in the infinitive form because it follows the verb "do." In the second sentence, "cutting" is in the gerund form because it follows the verb "stop."

5 A: Would you consider joining a charity organization? B: Definitely! Volunteering with other people can be fun.

Reason: In the first sentence, "joining" is in the gerund form because it follows the verb "consider." In the second sentence, "volunteering" is in the gerund form because it functions as the subject of the sentence.

6 A: What can I do to save the environment? B: You could try walking instead of driving to school.

Reason: In the first sentence, "do" is in the base form because it follows the modal verb "can." In the second sentence, "walking" is in the gerund form because it follows the verb "try."

7 A: I’m thinking of adopting an endangered animal. B: That’s amazing! I want to care for one too!

Reason: In the first sentence, "adopting" is in the gerund form because it follows the verb "thinking of." In the second sentence, "to care" is in the infinitive form because it follows the verb "want."
