Why practice Verb Patterns exercises?
These Verb Patterns exercises help you master how English verbs combine with different structures beyond gerunds and infinitives. Start with linking and sense verb patterns (look happy, sound like fun), then practise common verb + preposition collocations (depend on, believe in). Progress to verb + clause patterns (think that, wonder whether) and complex structures (give someone something, make someone happy). Covers CEFR levels B1 to B2.
