    Some verbs can be followed by a to-infinitive with no change in meaning, such as "like", "want", and "need". Other verbs are normally followed by the -ing form, such as "enjoy", "fancy", and "keep". A few verbs can be followed by either a to-infinitive or -ing form but will change meaning depending on which is used, such as "go on", "remember", and "try".
