Gerund OR infinitive with NO CHANGE IN MEANING  Some verbs take either G/or INF with no change in meaning: Start It started to rain./ = It started raining. Continue: I continued to work./ = I continued working Begin: She began to sing/ she began singing Prefer: I prefer eating at home./ I prefer to eat at home.

Gerund of infinitive WITH change in meaning Some verbs either take the GR or INF but WITH change in meaning: Stop + gerund (when you stop the action or activity) Stop + ‘to+infinitive’ (when you stop something to do something else)

Examples – (Stop + Gerund) Stop (gerund): She stopped working. She stopped smoking. She stopped studying. (=she stopped doing the verb)

Stop + ‘to+infinitive’ I stopped to have lunch I stopped to say hello. (=I stopped doing the first action because of the second)

Remember + ‘to+inf’ Please remember to buy milk! (the person needs to remember buying milk when at the store) He remembered to meet her. (First, he arranged a meeting with her. Then he remembered to go to the meeting.)
