Gerunds

Gerunds (verb+ -ing) are used:

• As a direct object of some verbs (avoid, consider, continue, deny, detest, dislike, enjoy, finish, miss, recommend, suggest, etc.):
• Ex. Many people recommend using the Uber app.
• After prepositions:
• Ex. Mia isn't keen on going to hotels. She prefers renting flats
• After some verb forms ( be used to/ get used to, can't help, can't stand, don't mind/ wouldn't mind, feel like, it's no use, look forward to, see myself, etc)
• Ex. I wouldn't mind trying out this restaurant.

• As the subject of the sentence, when speaking about general facts:
• Smoking is bad for your health

INfinitives

Infinitives (base form + to) are used:

• After verbs like afford, agree, appear, choose, decide, expect, hope, learn, offer, plan, promise, refuse, seem, want, wish, etc.
• Ex. She can't afford to buy that coat
• After some adjectives and adverbs
• Ex. She got up early to take the bus
• After the indirect object of verbs like advise, help, invite, persuade, teach, tell, warn, etc
• Ex. My friend warned me not to live beyonf my means.

! Make and let are followed by an indirect object+ the base form of the verb (infinitive without to)My parents let me do odd jobs But careful! some verbs do not mean the same if they are followed by a gerund or an infinitve (Go to WB p. 82 to check the exceptions).
