GRAMMAR REVIEW: Gerunds and infinitives

Gerunds	Infinitives
1. A gerund is formed by adding ‘ing’ to the base form of the verb. Gerunds can be used as the subject, subject complement, or the object in sentences. For example, - Starting a business requires a lot of work, time and money. (Gerund phrase as a subject) -Do you enjoy working in retail? (Object) - The project managers are happy about doing this project work. (Gerund phrase as an object of a preposition) Something that I hate is working long hours. (Gerund as a subject complement)	1. The infinitive is when we use to + the base infinitive form of the verb. For example, I want to call them.
2. Gerunds are also considered as a type of noun formed from a verb. For example, We enjoy reading a book. (Gerund)	2. a) The simple infinitive refers to the same time as that of the preceding verb. For example, I was glad to see her. He must be very happy. b) The continuous infinitive refers to the same time as that of the preceding verb and expresses an action in progress or happening over a period of time. For example, I’m glad to be sitting here. You must be joking. c) The perfect infinitive refers to a time before that of the preceding verb. For example, I’m glad to have studied at the school.
3. Some verbs that can be followed by gerunds are: admit advise anticipate appreciate avoid can’t help can’t stand consider delay deny dislike discuss enjoy finish mention mind miss postpone practice quit recall recommend regret report resent resist resume risk suggest tolerate try understand For example, She avoided telling them about her plans.	Some of the verbs can be followed by the ‘to+infinitive”: agree to do aim to do can’t afford to do can’t wait to do choose to do claim to do decide to do expect to do fail to do happen to do hope to do intend to do manage to do offer to do plan to do pretend to do refuse to do seem to do wish to do
4. Verb+Preposition_Gerund: adapt to; accuse to; apologize for; approve of; argue about/against; ask about; believe in; blame for; care about; concentrate on; complain about; consist of; decide on; depend on; disapprove of; discourage from; engage in; forgive for; get used to; give up; help with; inquire about; insist on; interfere with; keep on; look forward to; object to; participate in; persist in; plan on; profit from; prepare for; prohibit from; put off; succeed in; suffer from; talk about; take part in; think about; warn about; work on; worry about. For example, She was accused of embezzling the organization’s funds. We would like to apologize for treating you this way. She complained about overpricing.

---

Note: Some verbs can be followed by the gerund or the infinitive form without a big change in meaning.
For example.

She started checking their order.

She started to check their order.

For example,

She has stopped smoking. (That means she no longer smokes.)
