• 「To」を伴う動詞：Decide, Promise, Manage（不定詞のみ）

  「to + 不定詞」をマスターすると、あなたの英語はぐっと正確で自然になります。 decide や promise、 manage は未来や決意を表す大切なキーワードです。
• 動名詞のみを伴う動詞：-ingクラブ

  この「ing-Club」の動詞をマスターすれば、あなたの英語は一気にネイティブらしくなります。ポイントは activity、experience、そして no to です。
• 意味が変化する動詞（動名詞 vs 不定詞）

  Mastering these forms prevents hilarious misunderstandings and sharpens your English precision.
• 感覚と文：知覚動詞

  知覚動詞を使いこなせば、目撃したシーンが「完了したこと」なのか「進行中」なのかを鮮明に伝えられます。bare infinitive と -ing の使い分けがカギです。
• 形容詞 + 前置詞（〜を誇りに思う、〜に熱心な）

  Mastering adjective-preposition pairs makes your English sound natural and super precise.
• 三部構成の句動詞 (get on with, look forward to)

  3語の句動詞をマスターすれば、ネイティブのような自然なリズムで話せるようになりますよ。 fluency と natural flow がキーワードです。
• Do or Make: Choosing the Right Verb

  Do is for activities, tasks, and work (often undefined or general). Make is for creating, producing, or causing something. Many collocations must simply be learned.
• Noun + Preposition Collocations: Reason for, Advantage of, Lack of

  Many nouns in English are followed by a fixed preposition. These collocations cannot be guessed from grammar alone — they must be learned as fixed chunks.
• Verb + Object + Infinitive or Gerund: Want Him to Go, See Her Leaving

  Many verbs take an object followed by either a to-infinitive or a bare infinitive or -ing form. The pattern depends on the verb — it must be learned for each.
• Complex Infinitive and Gerund Forms: To Have Done, Having Done, To Be Doing

  Beyond basic -ing and to-infinitive, English has perfect and continuous forms: to have done (completed before now), having done (completed before the next action), to be doing (in progress at a time).
