Explanation:
- Infinitive is a ''to + verb". When 'to' is attached to verb , it is no longer a preposition but a part of the verb.
- As a noun, they (infinitive) might act as the subject of the sentence. For eg. To laugh is to grow healthier.
- As an adjective, they modify noun. For eg. Rashi always has something to eat.
- As an adverb, they modify verb, adverb adjectives. For eg. Rashi kept awake all night to complete her work.
- A gerund is a verb in its present participle form ( root verb + 'ing' ). In this form it acts like a noun in a sentence. For eg. Walking is good for your health. Here 'walking' is a gerund form.
- The given sentences can be converted to replace infinitives by gerunds by removing 'to' and adding -ing to the verb. So, in sentence, To gamble is a punishable crime, we remove 'to' and add -ing to the word gamble. It becomes, Gambling is a punishable crime.
- Other sentences can be converted in a similar manner.
