INTRODUCTIONTo start, the gerund is a noun made from a verb. To form a gerund you add "ing" to a verb, as also the infinitive verb "to" is used in the same way. In addition there are verbs that can be used both in the gerund and the infinitive.

1. Gerunds and Infinitives:They are forms of verbs that act as names, mainly, is when the verb ends in the letter "ing" and is mostly used to express the beginning and end of an activity, as the infinitive is formed with the preposition "to "and this is frequently used when actions are not real, they are general or are future.Gerunds as subjects Making a plane is very complicated. Creating a home in my house.Gerund as Object She continuous working on the design. I like building in the communityInfinitive as subject To make a plane is very complicated.
