V-ing EX: We stopped to ask the way.
4. try + to infinitive ('attempt')
V-ing ('make the experiment' )
They tried to put wire netting all round the garden. (They attempted to do this.)
The sentence doesn't tell us whether they succeeded or not.
They tried putting wire netting all round the garden. This means that they put wire netting round the garden
to see if it would solve their problem (presumably they were trying to keep out rabbits and foxes). We know
that they succeeded in performing the main action; what we don't know is whether this action had the
desired effect, i.e. kept the foxes out.

9. Prefer to do and prefer doing
*'prefer to (do)' or 'prefer ~ing' (what you prefer in general):
* I don't like cities. I prefer to live in the country. or I prefer living in the country
the differences in structure after prefer. We say:
- prefer sth to sth else. Or prefer doing sth to doing sth else.
but prefer to do sth rather than (do) sth else.
Ex: * I prefer this coat to the coat you were wearing yesterday.
* I prefer driving to travelling by train.
but * I prefer to drive rather than travel by train.
* Ann prefers to live in the country rather than (live) in a city.
Would prefer (I'd prefer...) (what somebody wants in a particular situation not in general):
* 'Would you prefer tea or coffee?' 'Coffee, please.'
We say 'would prefer to do' (not 'doing'):
* 'Shall we go by train?' 'Well, I'd prefer to go by car.' (not 'I'd prefer going')
* I'd prefer to stay at home tonight rather than go to the cinema.
NOTE: Verbs + possessive adjective/pronoun object + gerund
1 If the verb or verb + preposition is followed directly by the gerund, the gerund refers to the subject of
the verb: Tom insisted on reading the letter. (Tom read it.) But if we put a possessive adjective or pronoun
before the gerund, the gerund refers to the person denoted by the possessive adjective /pronoun:
He insisted on my /me reading it. (I had to read it.)
2 Possessive adjective and pronoun object compared
-In formal English the possessive adjective is used with the gerund. But in informal English we very often
use the pronoun. The student therefore has a choice of forms, but is recommended to use the pronoun
-Nouns with gerunds: In very formal English the possessive case is used:
I do not remember my mother's complaining about it. But it is much more usual to omit the 's:
I don't remember my mother complaining.
NOTE:
1. The perfect gerund (having worked, having spoken etc.) instead of the present form of the gerund
(working, speaking etc.) when we are referring to a past action:
He was accused of deserting his ship or He was accused of having deserted his ship.
He denied having been there. The perfect gerund is fairly usual after deny:
2. The passive gerund
Present: being written Perfect: having been written
He was punished by being sent to bed without any supper.
I remember being taken to Paris as a small child.
The safe showed no signs of having been touched.
E. The participles
I/ The present (or active) participle
1 To form the continuous tenses
2 As adjectives (active meaning) : The film is interesting
4 A present participle can sometimes replace a relative pronoun + verb
people who wish/wished to visit the caves = people wishing to visit the caves
5 Present participles/participle phrases such as adding/pointing out/ reminding/warning can introduce
statements in indirect speech:
He told me to start early, reminding me that the roads would be crowded.
6 After verbs of sensation . see, hear, feel, smell, listen (to), notice , watch +O+ Ving
EX: She smelt something burning and saw smoke rising.
The action in the present participle may be either complete or incomplete: I saw him changing the wheel
could mean that I watched the whole action or that I saw only part of it.
NOTE : see, hear, feel, smell, listen (to), notice , watch +O+ To Infinitive ( when we want to emphasize
that the action is complete) I saw him enter the room
7 After catch/find/leave + object Ex: I left him talking to Bob = He was talking to Bob when I left.
8 After go, come, spend, waste, be busy
* go and come + Ving ( verbs of physical activity and the verb shop )
Come dancing. They are going riding/skiing/sailing
* spend/waste + an expression of time or money + Ving
9 Present participles can sometimes replace subject + verb in other main or subordinate clauses
* present participle phrase replacing a main clause
-When two actions by the same subject occur simultaneously(The participle can be before or after the finite
verb)
He rode away. He whistled as he went. = He rode away whistling.
He holds the rope with one hand and stretches out the other to the boy in the water = Holding the rope with
one hand, he stretches .......
-- When one action is immediately followed by another by the same subject the first action can often be
expressed by a present participle. The participle must be placed first:
We take off our shoes and creep cautiously along the passage = Taking off our shoes we creep cautiously
along the passage
--When the second action forms part of the first, or is a result of it, we can express the second action by a
present participle: She went out, slamming the door.
*A present participle phrase replacing a subordinate clause
-The present participle can replace as/since/because + subject +verb
As he knew that he wouldn't be able to buy food on his journey he took large supplies with him
= Knowing that............................
Realizing that he hadn't enough money and not wanting to borrow from his father, he decided to pawn his
watch.
II/ The perfect participle (active): having + past participle, e.g. having done, having seen.
The perfect participle can be used to shorten or combine clauses that have the same subject if …
* … one action (the one where the perfect participle is used) is completed before the next action starts.
Example: She bought a bike and cycled home. = Having bought a bike, she cycled home.
* … one action has been going on for a period of time when another action starts.
Example: He had been living there for such a long time that he didn't want to move to another
town.
= Having lived there for such a long time, he didn't want to move to another town.
The perfect participle can be used for active and passive voice.
* active voice: having + past participle (Having cooked, he set the table.)
* passive voice: having been + past participle (Having been cooked, the food looked delicious.
There are three kinds of participles in English: present participle, past participle and perfect participle.
III/ The past participle
1 To form the perfect tenses/infinitives and participles and the passive voice:
he has seen to have loved it was broken
2 As an adjective:(passive meaning )
stolen money a written report
3 The past participle can replace a subject + passive verb just as the present participle can replace
subject + active verb:
She enters. She is accompanied by her mother. = She enters, accompanied by her mother.
As he was convinced that they were trying to poison him, he refused to eat anything
=Convinced that they were trying to poison him, he refused to eat anything.
NOTE Misrelated participles
A participle is considered to belong to the noun/pronoun which precedes it:
Tom, horrified at what he had done, could at first say nothing.
Note that the participle may be separated from its noun/pronoun by a main verb:
Jones and Smith came in, followed by their wives.
If there is no noun/pronoun in this position the participle is considered to belong to the subject of the
following main verb: Stunned by the blow, Peter fell heavily. (Peter had been stunned.)
Waiting for a bus a brick fell on my ( incorrect)
As I was waiting for a bus a brick fell on my head. ( correct)
