II	verbo intransitivo intentar
III	nombre 1 tentativa, intento: it's worth a try, vale la pena intentarlo 2 Dep ensayo Recuerda que el empleo de infinitivo o gerundio altera sustancialmente el significado del verbo to try. Usado con el infinitivo significa intentar, hacer un esfuerzo: He tried to find the book I had asked for. Intentó encontrar el libro que yo había pedido. Try and puede sustituir a try to (pero nunca a tries to, trying to o tried to): Why don't you try to do it yourself? o why don't you try and do it yourself?, ¿Por qué no intentas hacerlo tú? El gerundio le da el significado de hacer un experimento, comprobar si algo es útil, eficaz o placentero: Have you tried using this shampoo?, ¿Has probado a usar este champú?
