Verbos + TO/ING – Remember doing ou Remember to do?

By sergio | Lições de Inglês

Feb 15
Inglês - Verbos + TO - ING – Remember doing ou Remember to do

Como vocês já sabem há verbos em inglês que podem apenas ser seguidos por verbos na forma ING, outros que podem ser seguidos apenas por To + verbo e alguns que podem ser seguidos por ambos.

O verbo que iremos estudar hoje pode ser seguido por ING ou To. Contudo, ao usarmos To ou ING ocorre uma mudança na idéia da frase.

Veja se você consegue perceber alguma diferença entres as frases abaixo:

I remember doing Karate

I remember doing karate when I was a child./ Eu me lembro de fazer karatê quando era criança.

I always have to remember to lock the doors before I leave. / Eu sempre tenho que me lembrar de trancar as portas antes de sair.

Perceba que  remember + ing é usado para se referir a algo que fizemos no passado e agora nos lembramos de ter feito.

I remember doing karate – (Eu fiz karatê e agora me lembro disso)

remember + to é usado para falarmos de algo que primeiro temos/tivemos que nos lembrar antes de fazer.

I always have to remember to lock the doors – (Eu sempre tenho que me lembrar de fechar as portas e só depois eu as fecho)

Compare:

I remember sending you the email

I remember sending you the e-mail. (Eu já enviei o e-mail e agora me lembro disso)

Remember to send me the e-mail! (Nesse caso alguém terá primeiro que se lembrar de me enviar o e-mail e aí então fazer isso)

O verbo like (gostar) também pode ser seguido por verbos na forma ING ou por TO + verbo. O uso de uma forma ou outra no inglês pode causar uma pequena mudança no que se refere ao significado.

Veja:

like listening to music. (Eu gosto de ouvir música)

like to eat out on the weekends. (Eu gosto de comer fora nos finais de semana)

Like + ing é geralmente usado quando falamos que gostamos/não gostamos de algo de forma geral.

like listening to music. (Gosto de ouvir música de uma forma geral)

Já Like + to é geralmente usado quando estamos expressando nossas preferências sobre algo/uma situação específica.

like to eat out on the weekends. (Gosto de comer fora nos finais de semana – Estou especificando quando gosto de comer fora)

Deixe um comentário nos contando:

  • What do you remember doing yesterday?
  • What do you have to remember to do every day?
  • What do you like doing in your free time?

Well, I remember reading a very interesting article about English teaching yesterday. Eu me lembro de ter lido um artigo muito interessante sobre ensino de inglês ontem.

I have to remember to prepare my classes every day. Eu tenho que me lembrar de preparar as minhas aulas todos os dias.

like reading books, listening to music and watching movies. Eu gosto de ler livros, ouvir música e assistir filmes.

 Aguardo comentários!

Hi!
Great tip, but I have a doubt…
In your examples for ‘like+to’, you’ve used “I like to eat out on the weekends.” and said this form (like+to) is used for especific situations… So, if I don’t say when I like to eat out, must I say just “I like eating out”?

(Could you say to me if anything is wrong about what I write, too? Like verbs or wherever… Please? :D)

Thank you so much for your site! :D

Hi Osvaldo and Renata,

A diferença é a seguinte:

Like + ing é geralmente usado quando falamos que gostamos/não gostamos de algo de forma geral.

Já Like + to é geralmente usado quando estamos expressando nossas preferências sobre algo/uma situação específica.

Best,

Sérgio

Osvaldo Junior 26/02/2010

– I remember doing my english homework yesterday.
– Every day I have to remember to do my english homework at night.
– I like drawing (?) and listening music… (Eu gosto de desenhar de uma forma geral.)
Pra mim complicou aqui porque senti que talvez esta frase está com outro significado (Eu gosto de desenho e de ouvir música). Posso escrever “I like to draw”? É a mesma coisa? Ou está errado ainda? “I like draw”?

“I like reading books” and “I like to read books” are the same?

Em minhas aulas práticas de inglês me acostumei a usar “I like to do…”. Mas parece que “I like doing” é mais usual. Estou enganado?

Thank you for your attention.

Osvaldo Junior 20/02/2010

Que coincidência o assunto desta sua matéria eim. Explico porque: Esta semana eu escrevi em um exercício o seguinte: “I finished to do my writing exercise.”. Daí uma professora nativa (Estados Unidos) corrigiu da seguinte forma: “…finished doing my writing exercise (Think of TO + verb more for future)”
Eu já vi isto antes, mas ainda não me acostumei com a forma. Como não usei muito esqueci. Preciso estudar muito ainda e treinar melhor este inglês para me acostumar com esta forma diferente de escrever e OUVIR também. Sua matéria com certeza vai me ajudar…
Mais tarde volto para fazer os seus exercícios aqui.
