У forget и remember смысл зависит от формы:
- remember / forget + -ing — действие было раньше, помним (не забудем) его;
- remember / forget + to-infinitive — нужно (не нужно было) сделать действие.
- I remember falling — помню, как падал(а).
- I forgot to move — забыл(а) переместить вес.
- remember to look — не забыть посмотреть.
- I'll never forget riding — никогда не забуду, как катался(лась).
- I remember feeling — помню, как чувствовал(а).
- I must remember to show — не забыть показать.
Если действие уже произошло, после remember и forget ставим -ing. Если действие ещё надо выполнить, ставим to-infinitive.
- falling
- to move
- to look
- riding
- feeling
- to show
Complete the conversation. Use an object if necessary. If a sentence does not need an object, write – on the line.
A: We've got our end-of-year exhibition next week. Would you like (0) – to come?
B: Yes! Thanks! I really want (1) ... to see your pictures.
A: Thanks. I want (2) ... to see them. I'd like (3) ... to know what you think. And I'd like (4) ... to meet my parents. They'll be there on the last night. I need (5) ... to take the pictures home for me afterwards.
B: Are you nervous about it? Are you worried about people's reactions?
A: Not really. You can't please everyone. So, I expect (6) ... to hear a few criticisms!
Глаголы want, would like, need, expect могут иметь дополнение перед to-infinitive. Дополнение нужно, если действие делает другой человек, и не нужно, если его делает сам говорящий.
- B сам хочет увидеть картины — «–».
- A хочет, чтобы B увидел их — you.
- A хочет, чтобы B сказал своё мнение — you.
- A хочет, чтобы B познакомился с его родителями — you.
- A просит B увезти картины домой — you.
- A сам ожидает услышать критику — «–».
Если подлежащее и тот, кто выполняет действие, совпадают, дополнение не нужно: I want to see. Если действие выполняет другой человек, ставим дополнение: I want you to see.
