To express purpose:
to + base form of a verb (infinitives of purpose)
for + noun
---
Grammar: infinitives and gerunds (verb patterns)
infinitive = to + base form
	- to express purpose (I went to the store (in order) to buy milk.)
	- after adjectives and adverbs (It’s important to study. It’s too cold to swim. She talks too fast to understand.)
	- after many nouns (It’s time to go. She made a decision to study English.)
	- after some verbs (I like to dance. She wants to sing. He hates to swim.)
gerund = verb + ing, when it’s used like a noun
	- as the subject (Smoking is bad for you. Dancing is fun. Exercising every day is important.)
	- after prepositions (Thank you for coming. Think about coming. I’m used to eating hot food.)
	- after some nouns (I have trouble understanding this. I had a good time dancing.)
	- after some verbs (I like dancing. I need to keep studying. I stopped singing.)
---
to - part of the infinitive
to - the preposition
two - the number
too - also
too - as in “too much”
---
Some verbs change meaning between gerund and infinitive:
I stopped singing. = I was singing and then I stopped (and did something different).
I stopped to sing. = I was doing something different and then I stopped (and started to sing).
	(this is an infinitive of purpose - The reason I stopped the other thing was in order to sing.)
I stopped eating. = I was eating and then I stopped.
I stopped to eat. = I was (for example) driving and then I stopped at McDonald’s to get some food.

1 doing (“enjoy” + gerund)
2 Painting (it’s the subject)
3 to be (“hard” is an adjective)
4 changing (“imagine” + gerund)
5 to learn (“old” is an adjective)
6 to play (“learn” + infinitive)
