VERB + INFINITIVE or gerund
Some verbs (love, like, hate, prefer, start,begin) can be followed by gerund (ing) or an infinitive without a change in meaning.
examples:

With other verbs (forget, remember,stop,try) the meaning changes.

- I stopped taking selfies (never)
- i stopped to take selfie (moment)
