Всім привіт! Це 2-й випуск рубрики Sing and Learn в цьому семестрі. У минулому семестрі ми з вами почали готуватися до концерту Red Hot Chili Peppers і розібрали одну з їхніх пісень. Я впевнена, що всі знають, що через день після Перців буде виступати не менш класна група - Muse. І я вирішила, що пора б поспівати і їх пісні в нашій рубриці!
[Verse: 1]
I can not get these memories out of my mind
And some kind of madness has started to evolve
I tried so hard to let you go
But some kind of madness is swallowing me whole, yeah
[Chorus:]
I have finally seen the light
And I have finally realised what you mean
[Verse 2:]
And now I need to know is this real love
Or is it just madness keeping us afloat?
And when I look back at all the crazy fights we had
It's like some kind of madness was taking control, yeah
[Chorus:]
And now I have finally seen the light
And I have finally realised what you need
And now I have finally seen the end
And I'm not expecting you to care, no
But I have finally seen the light
And I have finally realised
I need to love
I need to love
Come to me
Trust in a dream
Come on and rescue me
Yes I know I can be wrong
Maybe I'm too headstrong
Our love is ...
Madness

А ось вам і чарівний список слів, після яких ми використовуємо Gerund or Infinitive. Насправді, це далеко не весь список. Для того, щоб краще розбиратися у всіх цих герундіях і інфінітивах, потрібно більше читати, слухати і дивитися. І тоді, verb patterns будуть самі відкладатися у вас в голові.
