I learned about gerund and infinitive at the ESL class.
Gerunds Examples
Gerunds can appear at the beginning of a sentence when used as a subject:
Jogging is a hobby of mine.
Gerunds can act as an object following the verb:
Charles quit smoking a year ago.
Some verbs can be followed by a gerund or an infinitive without causing a change in meaning:
Some people prefer getting up early in the morning.
Some people prefer to get up early in the morning.
Some verbs can be followed by a gerund or infinitive but with a change in meaning:
He remembered sending the fax. (He remembered the act of sending the fax)
He remembered to send the fax. (He remembered the fax and sent it.)
Infinitive Examples
an object following the verb:
Charles always forgets to eat for lunch
a subject at the beginning of a sentence:
To travel around the world requires a lot of time and money
an adverb modifying a verb:
You promised to buy me a Drone
Some verbs can be followed by an infinitive or a gerund without causing a change in meaning:
Will you continue working after you give birth?
Will you continue to work after you give birth?
