GRAMMAR: Infinitives, gerunds and phrasal verbs

In this section, we will talk about the theoretical contents we learned in this session. In it we work everything related to unit 6 of the book, that is, verbs in gerund, infinitive verbs and phrasal verbs. We will make a distinction of the different verbs that we should classify into gerunds and infinitives, we will also know a series of verbs that can have both uses.

First, we have the verbs with -ing:
