Questions
What is the difference between a gerund and an infinitive?
A gerund is the -ing form used as a noun: "I enjoy swimming." An infinitive is the base verb, usually with to: "I want to swim." Which one you use often depends on the verb before it.
Which verbs are followed by a gerund and which by to + infinitive?
Enjoy, avoid, finish and suggest take a gerund: "She avoids driving." Want, decide, hope and need take to + infinitive: "He decided to leave." Learn these verbs in groups and check new verbs in a dictionary.
Can some verbs take both forms?
Yes. Like, love and start can take both with little change: "I like reading" and "I like to read." But stop and remember change meaning. "I stopped smoking" means I quit. "I stopped to smoke" means I paused in order to smoke.
