This document discusses using gerunds and infinitives to express likes and dislikes. It notes that a gerund is a verb ending in "-ing" and lists examples. It states that gerunds should be used after verbs like "love", "like", "prefer", "don't mind", "dislike", and "hate" when expressing preferences. The infinitive form with "to" can also be used after "love", "like", "prefer", and "hate", but not after "don't mind" or "dislike".
