Renne:

Recall that gerunds are verbs ending in -ing that are actually acting as nouns in the sentence. Infinitives are the “to” form of the verb. This exercise wants you to change all the gerunds into infinitives and all the infinitives into gerunds. I’ll start and let you finish the rest of the exercise. Notice how Giving is a verb ending in ing that is acting as a noun as the subject of the sentence. To change this to an infinite we simply change the verb back to its present tense form (give) and put “to” in front. Therefore, the gerund giving becomes “to give.” Can you try finding the infinitive in the sentence and changing it to a gerund ?

Renne:
