There are some verbs in English that need different type of objects: either gerunds or infinitives. In order not to make a mistake students usually learn these verbs by heart. Besides, there are also such verbs that may be followed by both gerunds and infinitives, and the choice of the object type directly influences the meaning of a sentence.

Of course there are not so many verbs such as “forget” in English, but the reason for the choice of the infinitive or the gerund object each time will be different and will strongly influence the meaning of a sentence. And it’s a real challenge for advanced students.

Speaking about the challenge, did you forget... ehm... nervermind...

In English there are some verb constructions having special indirect meaning, such as used to, would, get used to, get doing, be to do, happen to do, be going to do something, be about to do something etc.

For example “I would go swimming to the swimming pool in my childhood” – means that in the past I went to swim periodically but now I don’t go swimming anymore...

These constructions help to add different shades to the main meaning of a sentence without wordy explanations. Now, how about getting answering the questions?

This challenge tests your understanding of how stop, remember, and try change meaning depending on whether they're followed by a gerund or an infinitive. You'll practice distinguishing between past memories and future intentions, quitting an action versus pausing for one, and experimenting versus making an effort.
