Wrong

RULE: After begin us can use the verb with ...ing.

Correct answer PRODUCING

We sometimes use one verb after another verb. Often the second verb is in the to-infinitive form, for example:

• I want to eat.

But sometimes the second verb must be in gerund form, for example:

• I dislike eating.

This depends on the first verb. Here is a list of verbs that are usually followed by a verb in gerund form:

Person A: Hi my friend I want to eat some seafood

PART 5

Adverbs and Adjectives

       Adjectives

An adjective is a word or set of words that modifies a noun or pronoun.

Examples:
That is a cute puppy.
She likes a high school senior.

Adjectives may also follow the word they modify:

Examples:
That puppy looks cute.
The technology is state-of-the-art.

Adverbs

An adverb is a word or set of words that modifies verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs.

Examples:
He speaks slowly (modifies the verb speaks)
He is especially clever (modifies the adjective clever)
He speaks all too slowly (modifies the adverb slowly)

An adverb answers how, when, where, or to what extent—how often or how much (e.g., daily, completely).

Examples:
He speaks slowly (answers the question how)
He speaks very slowly (answers the question how slowly)
