In English mistakes are often made by using the infinitive when other forms of the verb should be used. This is one example…
We use the gerund (V+ING) after certain verbs. Enjoy is one of those verbs and we never use to+ V1. These are some other examples.
You can’t avoid making mistakes.
I hate going to the dentist.
Do you like watching TV?
DANGER! For the verb like we use V+ING to say that we like things in general.
I like walking.
But sometimes we use like + to + V1 to add emphasis if we prefer something.
I like to walk to work.
Let’s look at the rules for using the gerund (verb ending in ‘ing’) instead of the infinitive (to + verb)
- After prepositions. – He worked without stopping.
- After words which regularly take a preposition, such as fond of, insist on, tired of, succeed in. – He succeeded in catching the rat.
- After certain verbs, such as avoid, enjoy, finish, stop, risk, excuse. – They enjoy playing football.
- After the adjectives busy and worth. – Lena was busy writing a book. This date is worth remembering.
- After certain phrases, such as it’s no use, it’s no good, I can’t help, would you mind, look forward to – I think it’s no use trying again. I can’t help feeling angry about it.
- DANGER!!! You can use both the gerund or the infinitive after certain verbs, such as begin, like, dislike, hate, love, prefer. – He began to talk or He began talking.
