Gerunds vs Infinitives

This 11-question quiz tackles one of the classic English puzzles, knowing when a verb is followed by the -ing form and when it takes to plus the base verb.

You fill in the right form in sentences like Brian doesn't mind ___ in the office until late at night. and Erin and Erica plan ___ a European cruise next month., with a couple of correct-or-incorrect items at the end.

The surprising part is that a few verbs accept both forms but change meaning, so stop doing something is not the same as stop to do something.

Recommended level: intermediate.
