Visualize Verb + Gerund or Infinitive Selection

'Verb + Gerund' or 'Verb + Infinitive' selection are the problem

I think they are the etarnal problem for ESL, then I try to clarify and to get clear by Visualization.

Below are the 4 types of them.

[1] 'Verb + Gerund' or 'Verb + Infinitive'  both OK but different meaning

[2] 'Verb + Gerund' or 'Verb + Infinitive'  both OK and Mostly the same meaning

[3] 'Verb + Gerund' only

[4] 'Verb + Infinitive' only 

Some chapters are still under construction.

[1] 'Verb + Gerund' or 'Verb + Infinitive' both OK but different meaning

As far as I know there are 6 verbs, so I'll show you them by Visuzalization.

(1) forget + doing or to do

(2) stop + doing or to do

(3) try + doing or to do

(4) quit + doing or to do

(5) regret + doing or to do

(6) remember + doing or to do

The most important thing is that the differences are whether you are Facing the Future or Facing the Past.

Note : Only ’try + Gerund’ is an exception in above.

I'll be happy when your fog is clear.
