Here is the table with the correct placement of verbs based on the sentence structure:
Explanation:
Verb + ING: These are verbs that are followed by the -ing form (gerund). For example,
"avoided going," "denied doing," "enjoy eating."
To + Infinitive: These are verbs that are followed by "to" plus the base form of the verb.
For example, "advise me to stay," "afford to buy," "taught my sister to ride."
Noun + To + Infinitive: This structure involves a noun followed by "to" and an infinitive
verb, which usually represents an action or purpose related to the noun. In this case,
"arranged to meet" fits the structure in this column.
Some sentences, like "we were permitted to wear casual," don't fit neatly into any of these
categories as a standalone structure, but they may still be related to "to + infinitive."

same? with which ones would the meaning change? write sentence to help you wwork them out
You're right that the verbs hate, forget, regret, start, try, and continue can be followed either
by the -ing form or to + infinitive, and the meaning can sometimes stay the same or change
depending on the verb form used. Here's a breakdown of each verb:
1. Hate
2. Forget
3. Regret
4. Start
5. Try
Verb + ING: "I tried running every day, but it was too hard."
o Meaning: This suggests you attempted the activity as an experiment or to see if it
worked.
To + Infinitive: "I tried to run every day, but I didn't have time."
o Meaning: This suggests you made an effort or attempt to do the action.
Meaning changes: The -ing form focuses on an attempt to do something as an
experiment, while the infinitive focuses on the effort to complete a task.

Summary Table
Conclusion:
Meaning stays the same for start, continue, and sometimes hate and try (with nuance).
