Grammar: Gerunds and Infinitives
gerund = verb(ing) form, used as a noun
infinitive = to + verb form
---
Reread the article and write each gerund and infinitive you can find.
gerunds:
	I adore dancing.
	I can’t imagine doing…
	Teaching dance is wonderful.
	It’s a way of meeting people and having a social life.
	Dancing seems to change their mood.
	I keep practicing...
infinitives:
	We dance to celebrate or just to fill the time.
	It’s marvelous to watch them.
	They’re learning to do traditional dances.
	Dancing seems to change their mood.
	Do we dance to make ourselves feel better?
	I want to get better and better
	I find it hard to stop.
---
Gerunds:
	- subject of a sentence
	- after prepositions
	- after SOME verbs
Infinitives:
	- after adjectives
	- to express purpose
	- after SOME verbs
---
Some verbs are always with gerund: I adore dancing. I dislike swimming.
Some verbs are always with infinitive: I want to get better. I’m learning to dance.
Some verbs can be with both (with the same meaning): I like dancing./I like to dance.
Some verbs can be with both (with different meanings): I stopped dancing. / I stopped to dance.
