For gerunds and infinitives, 12-18 (A-6 to A-8) are useful.

quit, stop, forget, remember, regret, go on; try

I stopped to eat. = I stopped another thing in order to eat.
(stop is first, then eat)
I stopped eating. = I don't eat food any more.
(eat is first, then stop)

quit, stop, forget, remember, regret, go on:
- gerund happened first, infinitive happens last

I remember locking the door.
(I locked the door, and now I remember it.)
I remember to lock the door every day.
(I remember my obligation, and then I lock the door.)

I regret informing you that you were fired.
(I informed you before, and now I regret it.)
I regret to inform you that you are fired.
(I regret it now, and then I inform you of bad news.)

I went on teaching about gerunds.
(I was teaching gerunds, and I continued to do so.)
I went on to teach about infinitives.
(I changed the subject, and then I taught infinitives.)

p. 293 exercise 3
I expect to have done my homework by 10pm.
(I don't know exactly when, but I expect that it will have happened by 10:00.)
2 not to have heard (or: not to hear)
3 not to have understood (or: not to understand)
4 to have gotten (or: to get)
5 to have finished (or: to finish)
6 to have been hit
7 to have fed
8 not to have done
6, 7, 8: "appear" and "seem" happened after the apparent actions, so we *must* use perfect infinitives

He appeared to feed the animals.
= I saw what looked like the act of him feeding them.
He appeared to have fed the animals.
= I saw what looked like the effects of him feeding them.

He appeared to be hit by a car.
= I saw the car, and it looked like it hit him.
He appeared to have been hit by a car.
= I saw his injuries, and it looked like they may have come from a car.
