Gerunds & Infinitives

Grammar Rule

Gerund ও Infinitive — ক্রিয়াকে বিশেষ্যরূপে ব্যবহার

Gerund (V+ing): verb noun-এর মতো কাজ করে।
Infinitive (to + V1): verb-এর সম্পূর্ণ রূপ।

GERUND-এর পরে আসে এমন verb (মুখস্থ করুন!):
  enjoy, avoid, finish, mind, suggest, admit,
  keep, consider, practise, miss, deny, risk, imagine
  → She enjoys swimming.  |  Avoid eating late.

INFINITIVE-এর পরে আসে এমন verb:
  want, decide, hope, plan, agree, refuse, promise,
  manage, fail, afford, learn, choose, need, expect
  → He decided to leave.  |  She hopes to become a doctor.

উভয়ই নেয় (অর্থ প্রায় একই):
  like, love, hate, begin, start, continue, prefer
  → I like swimming. = I like to swim. ✅

বিশেষ নিয়ম:
  ১. Preposition-এর পরে সবসময় Gerund:
     I am good at speaking.  |  She insisted on going.
     I look forward to meeting you.  ⚠️ (to meeting, NOT to meet!)
  ২. make / let + bare infinitive (to ছাড়া):
     She made him wait.  |  Let me help you.
  ৩. Verb + object + infinitive:
     She told him to go.  |  I want you to stay.

💡 সহজ trick — প্রশ্ন করুন:
  'enjoy' = কী? → enjoy swimming (ing = নাম)
  'decide' = কী করতে? → decide to go (to = লক্ষ্য)

⚠️ সাধারণ ভুল:
  I enjoy to swim.       ❌  →  I enjoy swimming. ✅
  She decided studying.  ❌  →  She decided to study. ✅
  I look forward to meet you. ❌  →  I look forward to meeting you. ✅
