Some verbs, in English, when followed by another verb, may demand a gerund form. Others, however, may accept either a gerund or an infinitive. Thus, it is advisable to get the most in contact with the English language in order to identify when a gerund is mandatory, and when not. Mark T for True and F for False for each one of the sentences, according to the right usage of the Gerund form: ( ) I avoid to talk/talking about this subject with my parents. ( ) "When he arrived, everybody stopped talking" means: everybody changed some opinion with each other. ( ) "When he arrived, everybody stopped to talk" means: they stopped what they were doing and started to talk. ( ) "I always go camping in summer": infinitive would not be acceptable: go to camp. Check the right sequence: A T - T - F - F. B F - F - T - T. C F - T - F - F. D T - F - T - T.
A T - T - F - F. B F - F - T - T. C F - T - F - F. D T - F - T - T.
