The key to determining whether to use a gerund or an infinitive is to understand the context and the meaning of the sentence. In some cases, both a gerund and an infinitive can be used, but the meaning may change slightly. Gerunds are often used when the action is the subject of the sentence or when it is done for enjoyment or as a hobby. Infinitives are often used when the action is done with a purpose or intention.
