Stop to or Stop -ing – Gerund vs Infinitive

Gerund and infinitive speaking cards for intermediate adult learners: students stop memorising lists and start choosing -ing or to in real conversations about their life, work and plans. No pattern, frame or model answer on any card – the student decides the form.

• Daily Life (B1): 16 word cards for verbs followed by -ing or to – enjoy, decide, avoid, keep, promise, learn, mind, manage, miss, pretend, afford, can't stand, offer, feel like, can't wait, spend time – each with a simple meaning and a question about the student's own life.
• Work and Plans (B1-B2): 16 word cards for work, study and the future – consider, plan, hope, suggest, finish, agree, refuse, practise, look forward to, arrange, be worth, expect, tend, put off, recommend, deserve – with the classic traps (look forward to + -ing, suggest + -ing) on the quick reference.
• Stop to or Stop -ing? (B1-B2): 16 verbs that change their meaning with -ing or to – stop, remember, forget, try, regret, go on, mean, need, be afraid, be sorry, be interested, see / hear, help, used to, hate, prefer – with one question for each meaning and a follow-up.
• Say It in Real Life (B2): 16 role-plays with the teacher – a forgotten birthday, too many meetings, a job interview, cancelling the gym, viewing a flat, describing an accident – each naming three verbs to use and most with a teacher twist.
