Gerund / Inifinitive exercise
I am often asked to explain the use of verbs with 'ing' and infinifs. The word "gerund" in English is not exactly the same as "gerund" in French. The gerund is rather a name and not a verb. It is used when one wants to talk about an action. Some verbs are systematically monitored by a "gerund", others by a infinif.
here is an exercise to master the lesson Gerund / Inifinitive
