This document discusses the differences between infinitives and gerunds. Infinitives use "to" before a verb, such as "to bring" or "to rest". Gerunds end in "-ing" and can act as nouns, such as "going" or "smoking". Examples are provided of sentences using infinitives and gerunds correctly, such as "Fred forgot to bring sunblock to the beach" and "He stopped smoking for health reasons".
