  • Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Lesson 350. The title of today's lesson is

  • to succeed in doing something , not to succeed to do something. Okay. So let's

  • take a look at the note here. All right. So this is the pattern you should follow.

  • Succeed in plus verb ING. So succeed in doing something. Okay. Let's

  • look at the first example here. With the X of course, that's wrong or incorrect. He

  • succeeded to make his business profitable. I could almost hear this I'll

  • even buy a native sometimes but it's really technically not right.

  • Definitely by students. So you should say here with the check. He succeeded in

  • making his business profitable. The verb + ING. You succeed in doing something.

  • All right. The next one with the X. She succeeded to become a big star in

  • Hollywood. Again that's wrong with the X. With the check, this is correct. She

  • succeeded in becoming a big star in Hollywood. Again verb + ing and the last

  • one here. Again with the X, this is wrong. The police succeeded to capture that

  • criminal. No. You should say the police succeeded in capturing that criminal.

  • Again succeed in plus verb ING. And I hope you got it. I hope it was clear. Thank you

  • for your time. Bye-bye.
