More Information

A gerund is a verb form ending in -ing that functions as a noun. An infinitive is the base form of a verb, often preceded by 'to'. Certain verbs are typically followed by gerunds, while others are followed by infinitives. For example, verbs like 'love,' 'hate,' 'enjoy,' and 'stop' can be followed by gerunds. Verbs like 'decide' and 'plan' are followed by infinitives. 'Can't stand' is followed by a gerund and discuss is also followed by a gerund.

Tips

A common mistake is using an infinitive after verbs that require a gerund, or vice versa. Pay attention to the specific verb and its typical usage.
