Objective Explanation:
This worksheet on Gerund or Infinitive aims to help students grasp the differences between verb forms and when to use them correctly in English sentences. By practicing with exercises that require identifying whether a verb should be followed by a to-infinitive or a gerund, students will enhance their language skills and improve their fluency.

Content Overview:
The main focus of this worksheet is on distinguishing between gerunds and infinitives in English sentences. Students will encounter a variety of verbs and practice categorizing them based on whether they are followed by a to-infinitive or a gerund. Through exercises like choosing the correct alternatives in sentences, students will reinforce their understanding of how to use these verb forms accurately.

Language and Educational Level Context:
This worksheet is designed for students learning English as a Second Language (ESL) who are at an intermediate level of proficiency. The content and exercises are structured to provide a challenge for students who have a basic understanding of gerunds and infinitives but need further practice to solidify their knowledge and application of these concepts.

Subject Relevance:
Understanding the usage of gerunds and infinitives is essential for ESL students to communicate effectively in English. This worksheet directly relates to the broader curriculum of ESL by focusing on a specific grammar topic that is commonly used in daily conversations and written communication. By mastering when to use gerunds and infinitives, students can enhance their language proficiency and accuracy.

Instructions:
The worksheet instructs students to categorize a list of verbs into two columns: verbs that are followed by a to-infinitive with no change in meaning, and verbs that are followed by a gerund with a change in meaning. This activity challenges students to think critically about how different verbs interact with gerunds and infinitives in sentences.

For the second set of exercises, students are prompted to choose the correct form (gerund or infinitive) to complete sentences. This task requires students to apply their knowledge of gerunds and infinitives in context, helping them see how these verb forms are used in everyday language. By providing specific examples like Miguel suggesting going for a walk or refusing to sign, students can practice using gerunds and infinitives accurately in different contexts.
