Grade 8 Grammar Lesson 30 To infinitive and gerund
With many verbs, we can’t normally use to infinitive. They take gerund after them.
Here is a list of the most common verbs followed by a gerund.
enjoy |
mind |
suggest |
stop |
delay |
risk |
fancy |
consider |
admit |
miss |
involve |
practice |
finish |
postpone |

avoid |
deny |
We also use a gerund after:
give up (=stop)
put off (= postpone)
carry on/ go on (=continue)
keep or keep on (=do something continuously or repeatedly)
