Gerunds and Infinitives

Gerunds A gerund is the –ing form of a verb: e.g. Listening, exercising, shopping A gerund is like the name of an action, so it is like a noun, not a verb. e.g. Watching movies is my favourite leisure activity.

Like nouns, gerunds can be in the subject or object position in a sentence: e.g. Listening to music makes me calm. My parents are thinking about moving to Kaş. The students are discussing studying in the library after class. Gerunds can also come after prepositions: e.g. Before eating, please wash your hands. After turning the TV off, he went to bed.

Infinitives An infinitive is the base form of a verb (V). It can be with to, or without to. e.g. (to) eat, (to) have, etc. Like gerunds, infinitives can be in the subject or object position of a sentence. e.g. It is nice to help other people. He would like to change his career.

Note please! It is polite to say hello when you come in to class. Saying hello is polite. It is important to drive carefully. Driving carefully is important.

Infinitives as object of a verb I’m planning to paint my room. She wants to go on a cruise.
