Bài 11: To + V-ing hay chính xác hơn là giới từ được theo sau bằng gerund.

Một ngày nào đó bạn đang lướt qua những bài viết bằng tiếng anh hay đơn giản đang đau đầu với những câu hổi tiếng anh. Rồi chọt bạn nhận ra những thư như sau:
1.      I am not used to driving car. (Tôi không phải dung để lái xe. Thật ra mình không thích dịch lắm vì dịch ra để bạn hiểu thì nó thô, mà dịch theo ý hiểu thì bạn chẳng hiểu mình dịch từ nào ra từ nào trong đây. Khộ thế đấy.)
2.      I look forward to going to the sea. (Tôi mong chờ việc đi biển)
3.      An has two jobs. In addition to working he has to take care his children.

Mình phải thừa nhận rằng trước đây khi nhìn thấy “to” mà phía sau để trông thì ngay laaoj tức mình tìm ngày một động từ và điền vào để ra dạng “to verb (infinitive)” nhưng thật sự điều đó là sai lầm vì ở đây “to” đóng vai trò là một giới từ. Mà cần phải nhớ một quy tắc là theo sau một giới từ phải là một danh từ, đại từ hoăc một từ có chức năng là danh từ, ở đây là gerund (danh động từ), (mình không nhớ rõ lắm để đưa ra ví dụ nhưng nhiều khi theo sau giới từ là một giới từ khác – nếu mình không nhầm). Oke, giới từ được theo sau bằng danh từ, đại từ và gerund (đay là một quy tắc mình nghĩ bạn nên ghi lại). Vậy tất nhiên bạn sẽ tự hỏi, làm sao để biết đâu “to” khi nào là giới từ và “to” khi nào là một bộ phận của infinitive. Vì vậy mình lại liệt kê cho các bạn các cụm từ mà chắc chắn to ở đây là một giới từ. Cũng không nhiều lắm. Gerund ở dây nghĩa là làm gì đó.
giới từ “to” + gerund
be accustomed + to + gerund
(quen vơi việc gì đó)
I am accustomed to living here
in addition + to + gerund
(ngoài làm gì đó, vế sau là gì đó nữa)
In addition to working he has take care of his children
be committed + to + gerund
(cam kết làm gì đó)
be devoted + to + gerund
(cống hiến làm gì đó)
I am devoted to working in the company
look forward + to + gerund
(mong chờ làm gì đó)
I am looking forward to going to the sea
object + to + gerund
(phản đối làm gì đó)
would you object to going to an Italian restaurant
be opposed + to + gerund
(chống đối làm gì đó)
be used + to + gerund
(được dùng cho việc gì đó)
I am not used to going to the sea
Dưới đây là các cụm từ thường gặp được đi kèm với giới từ và được theo sau bằng gerund. Mình lười lấy ví dụ quá nên giải nghĩa nhé.

 Nhìn chung tất cả các cụn từ mình nêu trên đều có khả năng theo sau cả danh từ, đại từ và gerund nhưng chúng thường được sử dụng theo cách cách trên nên mình liệt kê luôn cho các bạn cùng với cụm từ có giới từ “to” là một số cụm từ với các giới từ khác "to". Hy vọng nó giúp ích được cho bạn. Dù sao đừng ngạc nhiên khi những cụm trên không theo sau là gerund mà là danh từ hoặc động từ nhé. Vì quy tắc luôn đúng và ngữ cảnh có thể thay đổi. 

Hẹn gặp lại !!!
