Why practice Gerunds and Infinitives exercises?

These Gerund and Infinitive exercises help you master one of the trickiest areas of English grammar — deciding when to use the -ing form and when to use to + verb. Start with basic verb patterns (enjoy doing, want to do), then learn which verbs accept both forms with no change in meaning (like, love, begin, start). Next, tackle the key verbs where the choice changes the meaning (stop doing vs stop to do, remember doing vs remember to do). Finally, put it all together in a mixed review. Covers CEFR levels A2 to B2.
