The sentence "to open a store" is infinitive, while the sentence "offering a discount to the performance artist" is a gerund phrase.
<h3>How can we identify these sentences?</h3>
- We must identify the verb of the sentence.
- We must pay attention to the way the verb is being written.
In infinitive sentences, verbs are in their natural version, without conjugation, and therefore are accompanied by the word "to" as in "to open."
In the gerund phrase, the verb indicates that the subject is doing something at the moment when the sentence is being narrated. For this reason, verbs in these sentences end in "-ing" as in "offering."
