PREFACE
Non-finite Verb Patterns is designed for intermediate and upperintermediate learners of English and aims to help them improve their grammar competence and learn to use appropriate words in appropriate structures for the purpose of making meaningful messages in English. This is achieved in various ways through about seventy varied and stimulating practice exercises.
Presented in a clear, user-friendly style, the practice book is logically divided into three chapters, each of which introduces and further details an essential grammar topic. Chapter 1 is assigned to the pattern ‘Finite Verb + Infinitive’; Chapter 2 focuses on the pattern ‘Finite Verb + Gerund’. Inside each of these chapters there are two principal sections: Section A deals with the form and meaning of the sentence type and Section B details variations of the basic pattern. In Chapter 3 verbs which can be followed by either infinitives or gerunds are presented and practiced in opposition.
Non-finite Verb Patterns maintains an inductive approach, and teaches students to analyze a wealth of contexts provided and make conclusions about the tendencies or rules of using English verbs. This is then reinforced through a range of activities to practice the grammar, including gap-filling, completion, matching, rephrasing and editing (proofreading, or error analysis) through to translation and guided communicative tasks, all of which help students internalize and master the new patterns. The book features grammar summary tables for students to complete and thus revise what they have learnt.
The practice book will prepare students for more advanced grammar courses as well as Use of English tests. It is intentionally flexible in design and is suitable for self-study, homework or use in class.
