gerund
- infinitive
|
One of the difficulties of the
English language is that
some verbs are followed by the gerund (ex : doing)
and others are followed by the infinitive (ex : to do).
some verbs are followed by the gerund (ex : doing)
and others are followed by the infinitive (ex : to do).
Below you will find a
table to help you :

When do you use the INFINITIVE? ( ex : to do) |
● After verbs that express likes/dislikes : like, love, enjoy dislike, hate don't mind, can't stand ..... doing
