Not really sure what you're asking. Gerunds and infinitives aren't complicated though.
Gerunds look like verbs but are actually nouns and always end in ing. They also usually come at the beginning of a sentence and are generally followed by linking verbs.
Example:
- Swimming is my favorite sport.
Infinitives are just to + an action verb. They're easy to distinguish from the prepositional form because there isn't an article or or noun following the word to. It's always to + an action verb.
Example:
- I need to run to the store.
I like this example because it has a preposition and an infinitive. It's easy to distinguish the difference because one is followed by a verb and the other is followed by a definite article and a noun.
