Infinitive or ING form EOI

Sometimes we need to decide whether to use a verb in its: -ing form (doing, singing) or infinitive form (to do, to sing). For instance, only one of the following sentences is correct. Which one? I’ve just decided buying a new car. (?) I’ve just decided to buy a new car. (?)

When to use the infinitive The infinitive form is used after certain verbs: - forget, help, learn, teach, train - choose, expect, hope, need, offer, want, would like - agree, encourage, pretend, promise, recommend - allow, can/can't afford, decide, manage, mean, refuse I agreed to go with her. He decided to leave the party early. Why are they encouraged to learn English? We can't afford to take a long holiday. ! For the negative form we use “not” before the infinitive: I agreed not to go with her.

The infinitive form is always used after adjectives, for example: - disappointed, glad, happy, pleased, relieved, sad, surprised I was happy to help them. This includes too + adjective: The water was too cold to swim in. The infinitive form is used after adjective + enough: She is rich enough to buy two.

When to use -ing The -ing form is used when the word is the subject of a sentence or clause: Swimming is good exercise. Doctors say that smoking is bad for you. The -ing form is used after a preposition: I look forward to meeting you. They left without saying "Goodbye."

The -ing form is used after certain verbs: - avoid, dislike, enjoy, finish, give up, mind/not mind, practise, deny, postpone, fancy, admit, miss, involve, imagine I dislike getting up early. Would you mind opening the window? ! For the negative form we use “not” before the gerund: Would you mind not opening the window? It’s cold outside.

Gerund and infinitive Some verbs can be followed by the -ing form or the infinitive without a big change in meaning: begin, continue, hate, intend, like, love, prefer, propose, start. It started to rain / It started raining. I like to play tennis / I like playing tennis.
