    This document discusses the difference between gerunds and infinitives in English grammar. It explains that gerunds end in "-ing" and can be used as the subject of a sentence or after certain verbs and prepositions. Infinitives use "to" before the verb and can follow certain verbs or adjectives. It provides examples of verbs that can be followed by either a gerund or infinitive without changing the meaning, and others where the meaning is changed. Students are assigned to read pages on gerunds and infinitives and make a summary or mind map of the information for homework due the next day.
