If you're not sure and you're guessing… you're not alone. Gerunds vs. infinitives are one of the most confusing parts of learning English grammar. But today I'll make it clear when to use which one - so you can be correct and confident. A gerund is a verb with an -ing ending, which functions as a noun in the sentence 👉 "reading," "going," "eating" An infinitive = to + verb 👉 "to read," "to go," "to eat" The problem is that when we have two verbs in a row… 👉 Sometimes the second verb ends in -ing 👉 Sometimes the second one is to + verb 👉 Sometimes BOTH are possible! Let's look at each case step by step.
