Infinitives
is the basic form of verbs in English. It is generally structured as follows: to + (verb stem), for example, to talk. However, there is also the form without to
Examples of infinitives include to read, to run, to jump, to play, to sing, to laugh, to cry, to eat, and to go. Remember that although infinitives are verbs, they do not function as verbs, instead they are used as nouns, adjectives, or adverbs.
Gerund
The gerund is a verb form that can fulfill functions in a sentence beyond those of a verb, such as subject, object, complement or present participle. It is structured with the infinitive form of the verb + the suffix –ing, for example, the gerund of walk is walking.
A gerund is the –ing form of a verb that functions the same as a noun. For example, “Running is fun.” In this sentence, “running” is the gerund. It acts just like a noun.
There is and There are
Use there is when the noun is singular (“There is a cat”). Use there are when the noun is plural (“There are two cats”).
There is one table in the classroom. There are three chairs in the classroom. There is a spider in the bath.
