Если после try (с этим значением) следует глагол, мы говорим try -ing:

  • Do you think my jacket needs cleaning? (= … нужно почистить)
  • It’s a difficult problem. It needs thinking about very carefully. (= об этом нужно подумать)

Help и can’t help

Вы можете сказать help to do или help do (с или без to):

  • Everybody helped to clean up after the party.
    или Everybody helped clean up …
  • Can you help me to move this table?
    или Can you help me move

I can’t help doing something = я не могу не сделать что-либо:

  • I don’t like him, but he has a lot of problems. I can’t help feeling sorry for him.
    Мне он не нравится, но у него куча проблем. Всё равно мне его жаль, ничего не могу поделать.

anyone suitable, so he got to advertise in the local paper. There
ought have been a lot of applicants but surprisingly only a couple of
replies came in and only one of those was suitable.

I
told Mr thrown that he had better to get in touch with her at once.
He decided we needn’t to phone, her as there was no hurry, and we
must as we1l send her a card. Unfortunately we heard no more from
her, so we’ve had to start advertising again — in vain so far.

For
the moment, the job’s being done by Mr Brown’s son who hasn’t to be
working really because, he’s unhelpful and sometimes he should be

Unit 57- Part A

galka.jpgTry to … and try -ing
Try to do = attempt to do, make an effort to do:
•    I was very tired. I tried to keep my eyes open, but I couldn’t.
    Please try to be quiet when you come home. Everyone will be asleep.

Try also means ‘do something as an experiment or test’. For example:

•    These cakes are delicious. You should try one.  (= you should have one to see if you like it)
•    We couldn’t find anywhere to stay. We tried every hotel in the town, but they were all full.
  (= we went to every hotel to see if they had a room)

If try
(with this meaning) is followed by a verb, we say try -ing:
•    A: The photocopier doesn’t seem to be working.
      B: Try pressing the green button.

     (= press the green button – perhaps this will help to solve the problem!

Compare:

•    I tried to move the table, but it was too heavy.  (so I couldn’t move it)
•    I didn’t like the way the furniture was arranged, so I tried moving the table to the other side of the room. But it still didn’t look right, so I moved it back again.

•    I don’t need to come to the meeting, do I?


Something needs doing
= it needs to be done:
•    The batteries in the radio need changing.
     (= they need to be changed)
•    Do you think my jacket needs cleaning?
     (= … needs to be cleaned)
•    It’s a difficult problem. It needs thinking about very carefully.
    
(= it needs to be thought about) 

Unit 57- Part C

galka.jpgHelp and can’t help
You can say help to do or help do (with or without to):

•    Everybody helped to clean up after the party,   or
      Everybody helped clean up …

•    Can you help me to move this table?    or
      Can you help me move


I
can’t help doing something = I can’t stop myself doing it:
•    I don’t like him, but he has a lot of problems. I can’t help feeling sorry for him.
•    She tried to be serious, but she couldn’t help laughing.
(= she couldn’t stop herself laughing)
•    I’m sorry I’m so nervous. I can’t help it.
(= I can’t help being nervous)

 1) Be afraid to do и be afraid of -ing

To be afraid to do something — не хотеть что-то делать (бояться что-то делать), потому что это опасно, или результат может быть неприятным, плохим.

The streets in this city ate not safe at night. Many people are afraid to go out alone. — Улицы этого городанебезопасны по ночамМногие люди бояться выходить из дому одни. (Они не хотят выходить одни, потому что это опасно).

She was afraid to tell her parents that she had broken the neighbours window. — Она боялась говорить родителям, что разбила соседское окно (она не отела говорить, потому что знала, что они будут сердиться).

Be afraid of —ing — есть вероятность, что что-то плохое случится.

2) Need to do и need -ing

need to do something — необходимо что-то сделать

He needs to work harder. — Ему нужно больше/усиленнее работать.

I dont need to come to the meeting. — Мне не нужно приходить на собрание.

Need —ing — должно быть сделано что-то с чем то (значение пассивное)

This jacket is rather dirty. It needs cleaning. — эта куртка довольно грязная. Ее нужно почистить.

Do you think the grass needs cutting? — Думаешьтраву нужно скосить?

3) Help

После help (в значении «помогать») идет инфинитив To можно ставить, а можно и не ставить:

Everybody helped (to) clean up after the party. — Все помогали убираться после вечеринки.

Can somebody help me (tomove this table? — Кто-нибудь может мне помочь передвинуть этот стол?

Но с help есть выражение cant help doing something — не мочь остановиться делать что-то/не иметь возможности (по независящим обстоятельствам что-то не сделать):

I tried to be serious but I couldnt help laughing. — Я старался быть серьезным, но не мог удержаться от смеха.

I’m sorry I broke the glass. Someone pushed me and I couldn’t help dropping it. — Извинитечто разбил бокал.Кто-то толкнул меня, и я не смог его удержать.
