A Gerund/ Gerund Phrase is a verb form that acts like a noun and ALWAYS ends in -ing. Hint: Replace the gerund with "this thing," or, "that thing" to test your answer.
A participle / participle phrase is a verb that functions in a sentence as an adjective. It described nouns and pronouns. Present -> ends in -ing Past -> ends in - ed Irregular -> various endings
Infinitive / infinitive phrases is a verb form preceded by the word "to"
Don't confuse with the preposition "to"
Infinitive = to + verb Preposition = to + noun or pronoun sometimes the "to" is dropped.
