    Gerunds and infinitives.
    A gerund is a verb in “-ing” form that is used as a noun. It becomes the subject or object of a sentence.
    Examples: I enjoy baking on the weekend. (The gerund, “baking,” is the object.)
    Studying is important. (“Studying” is the subject.)
    We discussed not attending the concert. (Negative form = “not”+ gerund) Below is a list of verbs that are commonly followed by
    Gerunds
    Enjoy, quit, discuss, think/talk about, mind, suggest, finish, stop, recommend, and put off.
    An infinitive is made up of “to + verb” and is also used as a subject or object in a sentence, though much less commonly as a
    subject.
    Examples: We all want to watch a movie this weekend. (The infinitive, “to watch,” is the object.)

    To write her novel in peace and quiet was all she wanted. (The infinitive, “to write,” is the subject.)
