REMEMBER:   Infinitive or -ing?

When to use the infinitive

1)    1)   after certain verbs:
- forget, help, learn, teach, remember
- expect, hope, need, offer, want, would like
- agree, pretend, promise
- allow, can/can't afford, decide, manage, mean, refuse

• Don’t forget to lock the doors.
• Mark needs to leave early tomorrow
• Why do you want to learn English?
• We can't afford to go on holiday this year.
• She's decided not to call him again

2)    2)    after adjectives, for example:
- good, glad, happy, pleased, difficult, easy, sad, surprised, impossible

• I was happy to help Tom.
• She will be surprised to see you.
• Is it easy to speak Italian?

This includes too + adjective:

• The water was too cold to swim in.
• Is your tea too hot to drink? 

3) Infinitive of PURPOSE (why?)

• We phoned the restaurant to book a table.
• Sharon left the room to go to the toilet.

When to use -ing

   1)   When the word is the subject of a sentence or clause:

• Doctors say that smoking can be bad for you.

2)    After a preposition:

**Some verbs can be followed by the -ing form or the infinitive without a big difference in meaning: begin, continue, hate, intend, like, love, prefer, propose, start.

• It started to rain = It started raining.
• I prefer to stay at home = I prefer staying at home
