Чтобы правильно заполнить пропуски в предложениях, нужно знать, когда использовать герундий (то есть форму глагола с окончанием -ing) и когда инфинитив (то есть базовую форму глагола с частицей "to"). Давайте разберем каждое предложение по порядку.

Теперь давайте кратко рассмотрим, когда использовать герундий, а когда инфинитив:
- Инфинитив: используется после глаголов, таких как "agree", "want", "need", "promise", "decide", "offer" и т.д.
- Герундий: используется после предлогов (например, "for", "about"), после глаголов, таких как "enjoy", "avoid", "suggest", "love", "resist" и т.д.
- Некоторые глаголы могут использовать как инфинитив, так и герундий, но с разными значениями (например, "stop doing" означает "перестать делать", а "stop to do" означает "остановиться, чтобы сделать что-то").
