Good afternoon!
In today's class we have learned how to use gerunds and infinitives.
Our teacher has taught us the theory and we have been doing different exercises through nearpod.
Gerunds and infinitives, we have seemed a bit complicated because although there are some rules to know how to use them, in some cases the gerund and the infinitive can be used. 
In addition, sometimes the same verb can have different meanings depending on whether it is accompanied by a gerund or an infinitive, for example:
Stop + gerund = stop doing something permanently.
Stop + infinitive = stop doing something to continue doing something else.
Regret + Gerund = Repent of something in the future.
Regret + Infinitive = Repent of something from the past.
Remember + Gerund = Remember something from the past.
Remember + Infinitive = Remember something you must do in the future.
Try + Gerund = Experiment.
Try + Infinitive = Something Planned.
Go on + Gerund = Continue doing the same thing.
Go on + Infinitive = Introduce changes.
