Verb Forms and Their Usage

This video tutorial explains the use of verbs followed by gerunds and infinitives. It categorizes verbs into four groups: those followed only by infinitives, those followed only by gerunds, those that can be followed by either with little change in meaning, and those where the choice significantly changes the meaning. Examples are provided for each category to illustrate correct usage.
