INTRODUCTION TO INFINITIVE AND GERUND

Infinitive  the base form of verb

Infinitive divided into 2 parts:
- Full Infinitive: with the “to” (e.g to wait, to sing, to shop)
- Bare Infinitive: without the “to” (e.g. wait, sing, shop)
Gerund  the “-ing” form of the verb (verb-ing) that is used as noun (e.g. waiting,
singing, shopping)
 How to differentiate verb-ing as present participle and verb-ing as gerund
1. Verb-ing as present participle (Verb)
 lies after subject (s  verb-ing (present participle))
2. Verb-ing as gerund (Noun)
 lies after verb (s  v  verb-ing (gerund))
GERUND AS OBJECT OF PREPOSITION

Gerund as Object of Preposition  lies after preposition

Preposition  on, upon, about, of, in, at, for, with, to, etc.
