What are bare infinitives? Bare infinitives are the verbs in the 1st column in the verb table, for examples, go, run, walk, come, draw, write … etc. What are to-infinitives? To-infinitives are bare infinitives with “to” in front of it, for examples, to go, to run, to walk, to come, to draw, to write … etc. What are gerunds? Gerunds are also called verbal nouns and they are used as nouns. You can find them in the 2nd column in the verb table. You can make a gerund by putting “ing” after a bare infinitive. For examples, the gerund for “draw” is “drawing”; the gerund for “run” is “running”.
