Edooqoo generates gerunds and infinitives worksheets from teacher-selected inputs and available student context. The platform creates exercises targeting verb patterns: which verbs take -ing, which take to + infinitive, and which take both with a change in meaning. Each worksheet is personalized to the student's CEFR level and learning context.
Gerunds and infinitives are one of the most persistent challenges in English grammar. There's no universal rule for whether a verb takes -ing or to, students must learn patterns through exposure and practice. Edooqoo's AI generates contextually rich exercises that build natural intuition for these patterns.
| Common Verbs | Example |
|---|---|
| enjoy, finish, avoid, mind, suggest, imagine, consider, deny, admit, practise, keep, risk, miss, involve, recommend, can't help, can't stand, feel like, give up, put off | I enjoy swimming. She avoids eating sugar. |
| Common Verbs | Example |
|---|---|
| want, need, decide, hope, expect, plan, promise, refuse, agree, offer, learn, manage, afford, appear, seem, pretend, tend, fail, arrange, choose | I want to learn English. She decided to leave. |
| Verb | + Gerund | + Infinitive |
|---|---|---|
| remember | I remember locking the door. (= I did it, and I remember) | Remember to lock the door. (= Don't forget to do it) |
| stop | She stopped smoking. (= quit) | She stopped to smoke. (= paused in order to) |
| try | Try restarting the computer. (= experiment) | I tried to open the door. (= attempted) |
| forget | I'll never forget meeting her. (= memory of past) | I forgot to meet her. (= I didn't do it) |
| regret | I regret saying that. (= I'm sorry I said it) | I regret to inform you... (= formal announcement) |
A short task in the style Edooqoo produces, set in a real adult context: emails and career conversations. Use it as is in your next lesson, or generate an editable version tuned to your learner.
1. hearing
2. to postpone
3. sending
| What learners say | Correct form | Teaching note |
|---|---|---|
| I look forward to see you. | I look forward to seeing you. | to is a preposition here, so a gerund follows. |
| I suggest you to call the client. | I suggest calling the client. | suggest does not take object plus infinitive. |
If one of these errors keeps returning after practice, treat it as a repair point rather than a reason to move on.

Unfortunately, there's no single universal rule. Some patterns exist (verbs expressing emotions often take -ing; verbs about future intentions often take infinitive), but students ultimately need to learn verb patterns through repeated exposure. Edooqoo generates high-frequency practice to build this intuition.
Introduce them at B2 level with clear, contrasting examples. Use minimal pairs in context: "I remembered to lock the door" (I didn't forget) vs. "I remember locking the door" (I have a memory of doing it). Visual timelines can help show the temporal difference.
Short, high-frequency lists (10-15 verbs) are useful as reference, but don't rely on memorization alone. Students learn patterns best through contextual practice, which is exactly what Edooqoo's AI generates. Each exercise uses verbs in natural, meaningful sentences.
