VERB + GERUND
In English we can sometimes use a verb
followed by a gerund:
Susan suggested going to the theatre.
Those verbs which are followed by a gerund
are:
avoid, suggest, mind, would mind, keep,
keep on, carry on, look forward to, enjoy,
can´t stand, admit, consider.
VERB + INFINITIVE
Or we may use a verb followed by an infinitive:
We decided to have a nice time playing 
board games.
Those verbs which are followed by an infinitive
with to are:
wish, want, decide, agree, manage, expect,
hope, would like, refuse, ask, choose, offer,
promise, seem, appear, arrange, tell, allow,
need, use.
And make and let without to:
You make me feel nervous.
VERB + GER. or INF.
But we must take care with those verbs
which admit both a gerund or an
infinitive after them, but the meaning
changes.
Those verbs are:
stop/ finish; begin/ start; remember/
forget; try; regret; love/ like/ prefer/ hate;
go on/ continue.
The meaning changes:
• Stop + ger.: My father stopped smoking in
2005 (to stop an activity)
• Stop + inf.: We stopped to have a rest at a
petrol station (to stop so that you can do
something different; to stop for a specific reason)
• Remember + ger.: I can´t remember turning
off the lights (to remember what you did)
• Remember + inf.: I must remember to turn off
the lights (to remember what you have to do
later)
• Try + ger.: I told them to try playing different
version (to experiment or to try something
different)
• Try + inf.: They tried to find Josie´s mobile (to
make an effort)
• To regret + ger.: I regret spending all that money
(to feel sorry for something you did)
• To regret + inf.: I regret to tell you that your
father died in the accident (to regret to say
something unpleasant)
• Like + ger.: I like playing board games with my
friends (you like an activity and you do it)
• Like + inf.: I like you to come to Santander next
summer (you like the idea)
• We can also use the gerund as the subject
or the object in a sentence:
Running is good for your health. (subject)
My favourite exercise is running. (object)
• Or after a preposition:
Before opening the door, turn off the lights.
I´m afraid of flying.
• We can also use the gerund as the subject
or the object in a sentence:
Running is good for your health. (subject)
My favourite exercise is running. (object)
• Or after a preposition:
Before opening the door, turn off the lights.
I´m afraid of flying.

Verb + gerund infinitive

  • 1. VERB + GERUND In English we can sometimes use a verb followed by a gerund: Susan suggested going to the theatre. Those verbs which are followed by a gerund are: avoid, suggest, mind, would mind, keep, keep on, carry on, look forward to, enjoy, can´t stand, admit, consider.
  • 2. VERB + INFINITIVE Or we may use a verb followed by an infinitive: We decided to have a nice time playing  board games. Those verbs which are followed by an infinitive with to are: wish, want, decide, agree, manage, expect, hope, would like, refuse, ask, choose, offer, promise, seem, appear, arrange, tell, allow, need, use. And make and let without to: You make me feel nervous.
  • 3. VERB + GER. or INF. But we must take care with those verbs which admit both a gerund or an infinitive after them, but the meaning changes. Those verbs are: stop/ finish; begin/ start; remember/ forget; try; regret; love/ like/ prefer/ hate; go on/ continue.
  • 4. The meaning changes: • Stop + ger.: My father stopped smoking in 2005 (to stop an activity) • Stop + inf.: We stopped to have a rest at a petrol station (to stop so that you can do something different; to stop for a specific reason) • Remember + ger.: I can´t remember turning off the lights (to remember what you did) • Remember + inf.: I must remember to turn off the lights (to remember what you have to do later)
  • 5. • Try + ger.: I told them to try playing different version (to experiment or to try something different) • Try + inf.: They tried to find Josie´s mobile (to make an effort) • To regret + ger.: I regret spending all that money (to feel sorry for something you did) • To regret + inf.: I regret to tell you that your father died in the accident (to regret to say something unpleasant) • Like + ger.: I like playing board games with my friends (you like an activity and you do it) • Like + inf.: I like you to come to Santander next summer (you like the idea)
  • 6. • We can also use the gerund as the subject or the object in a sentence: Running is good for your health. (subject) My favourite exercise is running. (object) • Or after a preposition: Before opening the door, turn off the lights. I´m afraid of flying.
