Gerund and Infinitive Concept Map Basics
A gerunds and infinitives mind map organizes two verb forms that follow other verbs. A gerund is the -ing form used as a noun, such as enjoying. An infinitive is to plus the base verb, such as to learn. Learners need to know which form follows each verb, since the choice often changes the meaning of the sentence.
- Gerund uses: subjects, objects of prepositions, and verbs like enjoy and avoid
- Infinitive uses: purpose, verbs like want and decide, and adjective phrases
- Both forms: verbs like begin, start and continue that accept either form
- Meaning changes: forget, remember, stop and try shift meaning by form
- Common mistakes: errors with prepositions and verbs that take only one form
Use the map to review one branch at a time and test each pattern with your own sentences. When you want a version built from your own class notes, CogniGuide can generate it in minutes.
