Understanding the use of gerunds and infinitives with certain verbs can be tricky as it sometimes depends on specific verb patterns or the context of the sentence. Generally, verbs that express likes or dislikes (such as "love," "like," "hate," "can't stand") are followed by a gerund. Other verbs, like those expressing desire or intention (such as "want," "need," "decide"), are typically followed by an infinitive. Some verbs can be followed by either form, but the meaning might change depending on the choice.
