work
grammar Presentation.
Reported speech with gerund
Form:
- V+(O)+Preposition+(not) + V-ing
Use: We usually use a gerund structure to report thanking, apologies,
accusations, and so on
Accuse(sb) of, apologise (sb)for, insist on(khăng khăng),
congratulated(sb) on, dream of, warn(sb) against(dặn ai để phòng
cái gì/ai), prevent (sb)from, thank(sb) for, suspect(sb) of….
Note: we don’t use'say” in this structure.
Ex: “Sorry, I’m late” -> She apologized for being late
- Some verbs do not need a preposition:
V + (O) + (not) + V-ing
Stop, admit, suggest, deny, mention, propose(đờ̀ nghị)
Ex:” I didn’t do that” -> She denied doing that
“It was nice of you to help me Thank you very much”
Tom thanked me for helping him
“Shall we pick you up at school?”
They suggested picking me up at school
