    Verbs can be followed by various patterns including "-ing" forms like "loving" or "hating", or taking another verb with "to" like "want to do" or "expect to come". Certain verbs like "used to" indicate past habits. Verbs can also take a direct object and infinitive without "to" as in "let her make" or "help us do". Some verbs like "remember" or "continue" can be used with either "-ing" or "to + infinitive" forms.
