10mins - Review - Gerunds and infinitives function as noun objects in a sentence.

Gerunds can act as the subject of a sentence.

'Walking is fun.'

'Eating pizza is my passion.'

Only gerunds are used after prepositions:

'I am interested in becoming a writer.'

'I forgive you for not telling the truth.'

'But' or 'except' require an infinitive:

'I had no choice but, to tell the truth.'

'She didn't stop except to fill the gas tank.'

Some verbs like love, hate, like, prefer can be followed by both a gerund and infinitive.

'I love going to the sea.'

'I love to go to the sea.'

When these verbs are used with 'would' or 'should', use the infinitive.

I would love to go to Japan.

Would you like to go to the cinema this weekend?

You should try to use neater handwriting.
