What's the matter?

Verbs and Infinitive

1. En espaol el infinitivo de los verbos termina en ar, er o ir; tiene por lo tanto tres terminaciones. Vers ms abajo que, en cuanto a terminacin, los verbos en ingls son imperfectos y terminan de muchas maneras diferentes. Digamos que para "unificar" esta situacin el infinitivo de los verbos en ingls se forma anteponindole la partcula TO al verbo. 4. Algunos ejemplos: CANTAR se dice TO SING; BEBER se dice TO DRINK; ABRIR se dice TO OPEN. 5. Otra caracterstica del infinitivo es que puedes convertirlo en una INSTRUCCION u ORDEN si eliminas el TO: Close your book !! (Cierra tu libro!). Puedes "suavizar" estas rdenes, agregando please (por favor) al principio o al final: Please, close your book (Por favor, cierra tu libro); Close your book, please (Cierra tu libro, por favor). iNFINITIVO to attend to carry to close to drive to find to go to open to play to put to rain to run to say to see to snow to spell to swim to take to walk to watch to wear to write ESPAOL asistir (curso o academia) llevar; acarrear cerrar conducir (un auto) encontrar ir abrir jugar (deportes); tocar (piano) poner; colocar llover correr decir ver nevar (caer nieve) deletrear nadar tomar (taxi); dar (paseo); llevar caminar mirar (TV); observar

En general, los verbos terminados en vocal + consonante duplican la consonante antes de agregar ING: put - putting. Pero si antes de la consonante existen DOS vocales, entonces la consonante no se duplica: rain - raining.
