Have you heard of English verb patterns?
They can make a big difference to how natural your English sounds. A verb pattern is a way how we connect two or more verbs (e.g. want to do) and express complex ideas in a simple, natural way.
In this verb patterns exercise, you will:
- Practise English verb patterns in real-life sentences.
- Learn to avoid common mistakes English learners make.
- Review common verbs that change meaning when followed by gerund or infinitive (for example, try, remember, stop).
The quiz is designed for B1–B2 learners who want to:
- Feel more sure about choosing forms like “to do” or “doing” in real time.
- Talk about plans, habits, and experiences without worrying about complex grammar rules.
- Build a better “feeling” for which verbs naturally go together.
Work through each question, read the whole sentence, and think about what sounds natural in a real conversation. This verb patterns exercise will help you see the connection between grammar rules and real-life use of English.
