    This document discusses the differences between using a gerund (verb + "ing") versus an infinitive (to + verb) after certain verbs. It provides examples of verbs that are commonly followed by a gerund like "like" and "dislike", as well as verbs that take an infinitive like "want" and "hope". A table is included to help determine whether a gerund or infinitive should be used after different verbs.
