Grammar: Verb pattern


After receiving my test's result today (34/60), i found that my grammar is a little bit weak, especially in verb pattern and filling the gap in a small paragraph. Some vocabularies i don't know how to use them in particular situation although i know the meaning of those words.


Here is my studying from that test:

Verb pattern:

- encourage someone to do something

- consider doing something

- advoid someone / doing something

- warn someone that

- insist on someone doing something / insist that

- threaten to do something


Expression/ unfimiliar verb/ useful phrase:

- to be over: finish (the party 's over)

to go over: to study or explain something
