    Definiture of rules

     What are Gerunds?


    A gerund is a verb in its ing (present participle) form that functions as a noun that
    names an activity rather than a person or thing. Any action verb can be made into a
    gerund.

    Spelling Tip
    Verbing (Present Participle)

     Add ing to most verbs. Ex. play > playing, cry > crying, bark > barking
     For verbs that end in e, remove the e and add ing. Ex: slide > sliding, ride > riding
     For verbs that end in ie, change the ie to y and add ing. Ex: die > dying, tie > tying
     For a verb whose last syllable is written with a consonant-vowel-consonant and is
    stressed, double the last letter before adding ing. Ex: beg > begging, begin >
    beginning. However: enter > entering (last syllable is not stressed)

    Gerund Examples
    Gerunds can appear at the beginning of a sentence when used as a subject:

    1. Jogging is a hobby of mine.


    Gerunds can act as an object following the verb:

    1. Daniel quit smoking a year ago.


    Gerunds can serve as an object after a preposition:

    1. I look forward to helping you paint the house.


    Note: The same spelling rules that apply to the progressive tenses also apply to
    gerunds.
    Some verbs and verb phrases are directly followed a gerund:

    1. Paul avoids using chemicals on the vegetables he grows.


    Some verbs can be followed by a gerund or an infinitive without causing a change in
    meaning:

    1. Some people prefer getting up early in the morning.


    2. Some people prefer to get up early in the morning
    Some verbs can be followed by a gerund or infinitive but with a change in meaning:

    1. He remembered sending the fax. (He remembered the act of send the fax)
    2. He remembered to send the fax. (He remembered the fax and sent it.)

     What are Infinitives?


    An infinitive is a verb form that acts as other parts of speech in a sentence. It is
    formed with to + base form of the verb. Ex: to buy, to work.
    Infinitive Examples
    Infinitives can be used as:
    an object following the verb:

    1. Jim always forgets to eat


    a subject at the beginning of a sentence:

    1. To travel around the world requires a lot of time and money.


    an adverb modifying a verb:

    1. You promised to buy me a diamond ring.


    an adjective modifying a noun:

    1. Tara has the ability to succeed.


    Some verbs are directly followed by an infinitive:

    1. Do you want to call your family now?


    Some verbs are directly followed by a noun or pronoun and then by an
    infinitive:

    1. I convinced Catherine to become vegetarian.


    2. He advised me to sell all my shares of stock.
    Some verbs can be followed by an infinitive or a gerund without causing a
    change in meaning:

    1. Will you continue working after you give birth?


    2. Will you continue to work after you give birth?
    Some verbs can be followed by an infinitive or a gerund but with a change
    in meaning:

    1. He stopped drinking coffee. (He never drank coffee again.)


    2. He stopped to drink coffee. (He stopped what he was doing and
    drank some coffee.)
