I would prefer to pay by cash
فهمیدن این جمله برای ما در این مرحله ساده است:
I decided to change the plans.
Desert Saints (2002)
در چنین جملاتی، بعد از فعل، یک فعل همراه با to دیگر هم میآید:
VERB + ‘TO-‘ INFINITIVE
فعل دوم، یک مصدر یا infinitive محسوب میشود. در این ترم، افعال زیادی یاد خواهیم گرفت که میتوانند در چنین جملاتی استفاده شوند.
it’s one of the reasons I decided to change class.
I’m going to buy pictures to hang on the wall, because my room seems to be very cold and very unfriendly.
یکی از افعالی که در ترم اول آن را یاد گرفتیم، prefer بود. یک فعل بسیار رایج برای ساختار بالا، این فعل است:
How can you judge? I prefer to go in jail.
Dreamers (2003)
در ترم قبل، چنین نمونه جملاتی را برای این فعل داشتیم:
Do you prefer hot or cold weather?
I prefer cats to dogs.
She prefers watching tennis to playing it.
برای بیان مودبانه یک درخواست، بهتر است از would prefer استفاده کنیم:
I would prefer to try a cigarette
Anna Karenina (2012)
I would prefer to pay by cash.
I would prefer to meet you at six o’clock instead of four, at the café in my hometown.
I’d prefer to go on holiday with my friends.
فعل رایج دیگری که در این ساختار قرار میگیرد، help است.
I wanted to help
Gone Girl (2014)
اگر صحبت از کمک کردن به کسی باشد، آن را به عنوان مفعول جمله میآوریم.
I wanted to help him
Blood (2014)
این کمک در چه موردی است؟ آن را هم میتوانیم به کمک فعل با to اضافه کنیم:
We’ll have to reach out to River Tam… and help her to comeback to us.
Serenity (2015)
I wanted to help him to make some friends.
فعل بعد از help میتواند بدون To هم بیاید؛ بدون آنکه تغییری در معنی آن رخ دهد:
Help me choose some songs, freestyle some.
Lifted (2010)
بنابراین استفاده از To بعد از help، اختیاری است:
I wanted to help him to make some friends. He’s just like me.
I hope that it will help you to keep fit.
I hope my advice can help you choose where to go.
This house is terrible and I hope you can help me find something better.
استفاده از make و let در چنین جملهای (یعنی بدون To) بسیار رایج است:
Let me know if it is suitable for you.
She makes me smile when I’m sad.
She always makes me laugh!
You are eighteen now, you can do what you want and they should let you do it.
I think you should talk with your parents and try to make them understand how you feel and what you prefer.
Maybe your parents are afraid of letting you go away by yourself, they still consider you their baby.
مفعول جمله میتواند قبل از مصدر یا فعل دوم بیاید:
You asked me to tell you about one of my friends.
با این ساختار، میتوانیم درخواست یا دستور را نشان دهیم.
I would like you to come to a picnic on Saturday.
I would like you to come to my office on 16th of May to discuss the terms of the contract.
Your parents want you to go on holiday with them this summer.
You asked me to tell you about one of my friends.
به جای فعل با To، میتوانیم از فعل با پسوند ing استفاده کنیم:
So, would you mind telling Mr and Mrs Thomas.
I would like to stay there a few years to finish studying and to have my own money to start thinking of traveling.
