      Preface

      The ebook is the most definitive and synthetic overview of all English verb forms with a participle, an infinitive with or without to and a gerund. These verb forms are worth special attention as they are the cornerstone of both written and spoken English. A practical knowledge of verb forms impacts the verbal skill in everyday communication. The ebook includes all verb forms in example sentences put in simple contexts. The publication is directed to English learners at all levels who want to get a feel for English verb form usage and who have not yet been able to find a synthetic and concise set of examples in one publication. A separate chapter is devoted to clauses of purpose. The overriding aim of the ebook is to equip the learner with a comprehensive and practical overview of a participle, an infinitive with or without to and a gerund.
