What's the difference between infinitive and gerund ?
Can you tell me something about this subject?>>>the difference between them .is that:
-inf: the basic form of a verb, without an inflection binding it to a particular subject or tense
*for example : Ahmed write the report.
-gerund: a verb ending in ing
*for example : Ahmed is (writing) the report.

Gerund is basically when you add 'ing' to a verb. For example, "cook" is a verb, but when you say "cooking", this becomes the gerund of the verb "cook".
Infinitive is quite difficult to explain (I'm still not sure if I understand it properly myself!) but I think it is a verb form that is used in a non-finite manner. A non-finite verb is essentially one where it cannot serve as the subject of a simple sentence.
