There are some verbs that automatically go with the Verb-ing. There is a complicated rule about Gerunds, but for now, let’s not focus too much on the rule. Let’s just remember these words and practice the given examples.

The best way to learn English as a second language is NOT to focus too much on the technicalities. A child learns a language by repeating the spoken words. A child does not dissect the sentence he/she hears from the adults; he/she just repeats them, and eventually, he/she understands what they mean.

Here are some of the words that are automatically followed by a Verb-ing, alphabetically arranged.
