A gerund is a form of the nonfinite verb (not conjugated) used to make a verbal phrase that can
replace a nominal phrase. The present participle form is used, since it ends in 'ing', for example
'hearing'.
Infinitive
Wont
he want to food in the street
Plan
you plan to drink water everyday
Would Like
I would like to buy a soccer ball
Be Going To
I would like to be going to grandma's house
Be Sure
be sure you want to sing
Learn

Dare
I want to dare to swim
Need
she is going to need glue for her notebook
The infinitive expresses the meaning of the verb in a general way, without reference to any time. In
addition to the simple infinitive, like 'to speak', there are also infinitive progressive ('to be speaking'),
perfect ('to have spoken') and passive ('to be spoken')
