배울 내용

안녕하세요! 이제 기초적인 문장을 넘어서서, 조금 더 디테일하고 자연스러운 영어를 구사하고 싶지 않으신가요? 이번 챕터에서는 여러분의 표현력을 한 단계 더 업그레이드해 줄 세 가지 핵심 규칙을 배워볼 거예요. 먼저 'want to go'와 'enjoy going'처럼 동사 뒤에 to 부정사를 쓸지, -ing를 쓸지 구분하는 법을 익힙니다. 이걸 알면 여러분의 취향이나 계획을 더 정확하게 말할 수 있어요. 또한, '공부하려고(to study) 도서관에 가요'나 '선물용(for a gift)이에요'처럼 내 행동의 목적을 설명하는 법도 배웁니다. 여행지에서 길을 묻거나 물건의 용도를 설명할 때 정말 유용하겠죠? 마지막으로 '나에게 책을 줘'와 같이 대상이 두 개인 문장 패턴까지 정복하고 나면, 문장 구조가 훨씬 탄탄해질 거예요. 이 챕터를 마치면 단순히 단어를 나열하는 것을 넘어, 자신의 의도와 목적을 논리적으로 설명하는 자신감을 얻게 될 거예요. 자, 함께 시작해 볼까요?

Review Summary

  • Verb + to + Verb OR Verb + Verb-ing
  • To + Verb
  • Verb + Person + Thing

자주 하는 실수

The verb 'enjoy' must be followed by a gerund (-ing), not an infinitive.

Wrong: I enjoy to play tennis.
정답: I enjoy playing tennis.

Use 'to' + verb for purpose, not 'for'. 'For' is followed by a noun.

Wrong: I go to the shop for buy bread.
정답: I go to the shop to buy bread.

When the person is the indirect object, you don't need 'to' if the person comes first.

Wrong: Give to me the pen.
정답: Give me the pen.

Yes, or gerunds (verb-ing) when describing function.
