When to use "i" before a verb

[Hendrik]

Hello Andrea,

“to i or not to i” is one of the puzzling things that crops up from time to time, so instead of trying to re-invent the wheel, I’d like to link to a previous post:

When to use and when not to use 'i ' as a preposition before a verbnoun

In the sentence "Would you be willing to bring something to drink with you?’ (ch. 10 level 2 N) ‘i’ is used before ‘yfed’. In the sentence “Would you be willing to wait for him?” the ‘i’ doesn’t appear before the verbnoun ‘aros’. I’m puzzled why it is used before one verbnoun and not the other. Is it just an optional thing?

But one of the main takeaway points is that instead of thinking of the “i” being in front of the second verb, it is rather a necessary preposition following the first verb.
