"Gerunds and infinitives come from verb forms but function as nouns. A gerund or an infinitive can be a direct object of a verb". Este trecho foi extraído do livro Top Notch 2 (p. 76), o qual define a origem dos termos: gerúndio e infinitivo. O trecho retirado da internet abaixo pontua as diferenças entre estas duas formas verbais.
Teaching Gerunds and Infinitives
I Like to Swim or Swimming Is Fun: Define the Differences
At the basic level you will need to start out just by distinguishing the difference and doing this while keeping your language pretty simple. Here’s an example that has been quite successful. The most confusing part in choosing either a gerund or an infinitive is that they have similar jobs and perform many of the same functions.
They both:
• Look like verbs, but are actually nouns.
• Can be the subject of a sentence: Jogging is good exercise. To jog is good exercise.
• Can be the object of a verb: I like reading books. I like to read books.
Only gerunds:
Can be the object of a preposition, for example: We are talking about swimming in English class. We discussed quitting smoking for good.
So when do we know when to use one or the other? That can difficult to define. In general, the rule to follow is:
• Gerunds are used to express actions that are real, concrete and completed.
• Infinitives are used to express actions that are unreal, abstract or may be in the future.
