VERB PATTERNS

I know you will find the document on verb patterns quite useful. The verbs are arranged in alphabetical order and next to each of them you will learn whether what should follow is an infinitive(bare or to infinitive), a gerund or a clause. This list was taken from:

Low, Ona(1975), A New Proficiency English Course,  Edward Arnold, London.

The whole book is available at the Self Study Room.
Sorry for the quality of the scanning but I am actually learning how to do it.

NARRATIVE. Outline

A good narrative must include some basic information. In order to write better narratives, you may start by designing an outline which basically answers these questions
::
WHEN?
WHERE?
WHO/WHAT? (protagonists)
WHAT HAPPENED ? (this is the key element in a narrative: THE EVENT)
WHICH CONSEQUENCES DERIVE FROM THE EVENT?
