 Today's lesson  - Class note 

1. Verb Infinitive (Base Form) 

What is it?
A base verb is the clean verb with no -s / -ed / -ing:
go, eat, play, be, have

We use the base verb in three common places:

---

Rule 1 — after to + base verb

• I want to play.

• She likes to read.

• We need to go now.

✗ I want to plays → ✓ I want to play

---

Rule 2 — after modal verbs + base verb

(can / could / will / would / shall / should / may / might)

• I can swim.

• He will come later.

• We should do our homework.

• She may be late.

✗ She can to dance → ✓ She can dance
✗ He will goes → ✓ He will go

---

Rule 3 — Negative with do/does/did not + base verb

• I do not (don’t) like milk.

• He does not (doesn’t) eat meat.

• They did not (didn’t) watch the movie.

✗ He doesn’t likes pizza → ✓ He doesn’t like pizza
✗ We didn’t watched it → ✓ We didn’t watch it

---

Remember

• After to, after a modal, and after do/does/did not → use the base verb.

• Base verb = no -s, no -ed, no -ing.
