Verbs + Infinitive or Verbs + -ing


Use the class presentation as a reference for this topic.

The main idea is that some verbs have a different meaning when they are followed by a verb + -ing or by a verb + infinitive with to.

Look at the example: 


I never forget to pick up the kids from school. (The verb forget refers to now ir in the future)

I will never forget stduying for literature exams. ( The verb forget refers to memories of the past)


As an extra practice complete exercises 6 and 7 from the book, pg 50.
