Answer 2

Gerunds are verbs in its past participle form and infinitives are verbs that are parts of a sentence.

Explanation:

• Gerunds are verbs in past participle ( +ing), for example, running, drinking, eating.  Infinitives are verbs that act as a part of a sentence. For example, I always forget to eat.
• Gerunds are verbs that can function as a noun in the sentence. For example, "acting is fun". Here, the gerund "acting" functions as a noun as well in the sentence.
• The infinitives mostly accompanies with "to" or as a basic form of verb. For example, "I like to dance", the infinitive is "to dance". Thus, most of the infinitives have "to" in it.
