Key syntax
1. When we often need to express "want to do something" or "decided to do something", we need to use the structure of "to + verb prototype", which is called verb infinitive . Common verbs that follow
and follow verbs with infinitive verbs as objects are: plan, decide, want, agree, try, hope, offer, like, need, etc.
2. In English, some verbs can follow two objects, namely the indirect object of a person and the direct object of a object. These two objects are called "double object". Common such verbs include: buy, pass, give, offer, show, bring, send, etc. Its sentence structure is: subject + verb + indirect object + direct object = subject + verb + direct object + preposition (for / to) + indirect object
Note: When the object representing object is a pronoun, you can only use the expression form of subject + verb + direct object + preposition + indirect object ". For example:
Can you send it to me as soon as possible?
Can you send it to me as soon as possible?
Can you mail it to me as soon as possible?
Can you mail it to me as soon as possible?

Key grammar
1. Verb infinitives are object complementation
verb infinitives act as object complementation, which is a supplementary explanation of object. It is often used in the structure of “verb + object + verb infinitives”. Verbs that can follow verb infinitives as object complementation are divided into two types: infinitives that follow to the to and omit to.
1. Infinitives that connect to to, that is, “verb + object + to + verb prototype”. These verbs include allow, ask, advice, tell, want, choose, need, etc.
2. Continue to omit the infinitive form of to, that is, "verb + object + verb prototype".This type of verb is usually a service verb and a sensory verb (group), which can be summarized as: one sense (feel), two hearing (hear, listen to), three meaning (make, let, have), five seeing (see, watch, notice, observe, look at)
2. Verb infinitives are adverbs for purpose
infinitives are used as goal adverbs, which are usually used to represent the purpose of the action verb, meaning "for...", which can be placed at the beginning or at the end of the sentence, such as example sentence 5 and example sentence 6.
