How to use the GERUNDIO

and the INFINITIVE in

English

An infinitive is the verb form that takes “to” at the beginning

Examples: to do

to sleep

to love

to create

For example, "She sleeps" does not contain the infinitive of the verb "to sleep". But it has been conjugated in the third person of the present simple of the verb “to sleep”: sleeps

Gerunds are formed by adding "-ing" to the verb: "sleeping", "drawing", "swimming". But they do not correspond to the verbal forms of "-ing" that you see in the present past tense or continuous past tense

Let's take the verb "to sleep" and use it in two different sentences:

I am sleeping.

I'm sleeping.
