When you do this, you need to remember two things. First, just like with an infinitive, you use the indirect object pronoun according to the person or people being pleased\/fascinated\/bothered. Secondly, you need to remember the verb ending. If the thing that is pleasing is singular, you will use the third person singular ending of the verb; if it is plural, you will use the third person plural ending of the verb. Look at the examples below in order to see how these verbs are used with nouns.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
