Pseudo Verb + NG-Phrase/Pronoun

This set of pseudo-verbs requires an agent (actor or doer of the action) that is a NG-phrase or a NG-pronoun. In other words, in sentences with this set of pseudo-verbs (gusto, ayaw, kailangan), the doer of the action is never in focus.

In a sentence with a pseudo-verb, the word that comes before the main verb (if there is one) has to have the linker -NG as a suffix. The main verb in a sentence with a pseudo-verb is always in the infinitive form. Also note that sentences with pseudo verbs sometimes do not have a focus.
The (actor) pronoun always comes after the pseudo-verb.

Let's take a close look at the following sentence from above:

The word ayaw is the pseudo-verb. Notice that this verb is not marked for aspect or focus. You don't have to change it. The pseudo-verb ayaw is followed by the actor, which is the non-focused pronoun kong (I). Remember that the actor in this group of pseudo-verb sentences is always not in focus. Next, is the main verb sumakay (ride). This verb is in the infinitive form. Since pseudo-verbs tend to deal with general statements (such as what one likes or doesn't like, etc.), it sort of puts the sentence into a timeless, aspectless state. So it would make sense that the main verb would be in the infinitive form.

In this case the -UM- in sumakay is not indicating that the actor of the sentence is in focus. This is because of the rule that states that ayaw can never have a focused actor (notice that kong is unfocused). In fact, this sentence does not have a focus.

Extra Information: The special rule for these pseudo-verbs only affects the actor of the sentence. For example, if you choose to use the "actor focused" infinitive kumain in a pseudo-verb sentence, then you are forced to have an object that is not in focus e.g. ayaw kong kumain ng saging. If, on the other hand, you use the "object focused" infinitive kainin, you must have the object be in focus e.g. ayaw kong kainin ang saging.
