That's another hard day over!
Some verbs can be followed by gerunds or infinitives, but with a change in meaning:
FORGET, REGRET and REMEMBER: when these verbs are followed by -ing, they refer to something that happened before a certain time; when they're followed by to they refer to something that happens at or after a certain time.
What's the difference?
I'll never forget going to Japan
Don't forget to meet me at 5 o'clock
I don't regret leaving my job
We regret to inform you the interview was cancelled
I remember meeting you last year
Please remember to close the door
Stop + -ing means to interrupt an activity in order to do something else.
Stop + infinitive means to interrupt an action
Can you think of an example for each situation?
Try + to means to attemp doing something
Try + -ing means doing something as an experiment
Think of an example for each situation
See you on Wednesday!
