Teacher Guide
Teach that in certain cases we use the gerund and in other cases we use the infinitive. Give some example verbs that are usually followed by one or the other. Explain that gerunds are often used when actions are real, fixed, or completed (e.g. I enjoy swimming), after prepositions of place and time, and to replace the object or subject of the sentence. Infinitives are often used when actions are unreal, abstract or future (e.g. She wants to go to Spain), after many adjectives and to show purpose.
