Description
Most of transitive verbs which take a direct objects theoretically can be followed by an infinitive (noun), without using a conjunction or preposition. An infinitive can be used as a noun - as the subject, the direct object of a verb and/or an object of a preposition. The beauty is that the infinitive offers a wide range of uses of a word, without sacrificing its meaning or characteristics as a verb.
We can use the conjugated helping verb of “haber” plus past participle to form various perfect tense. The most often used verbs with PP are “estar” and “ser”, resembling the passive voice construction in English. However, “PP” can be an adjective following a noun, or used independently. The past participle can also immediately follow certain other conjugated verbs.
Gerund can be used to make compound verb to form present or past progressive tense. They can also follow other conjugated verbs, such as verb of perception. Participial phrase is formed by a Gerund or PP. Spanish verb of becoming is a very common expression, and useful to show changes in emotion. The most common way in Spanish to express “to begin, or to start” is also included in this book.
