  4. GRAMMAR FOCUS; Infinitives and Gerunds • Infinitives The base form of a verb (go) often functions as an infinitive. It is called the bare infinitive because it is used without to. We must distinguish it from the to-infinitive, where to is always used in front of the base form of the verb (to go). Example : I use my computer to send emails. Computer are often used to pay bills. • Gerunds A gerund is sometimes called a “verbal noun.” Calling it merely “the -ing form of a verb” invites confusion with the present participle, which has different grammatical functions. Example : I use my computer for sending e-mails. Computers are often used for playing bills
