what is the difference in meaning between the two sentences.

I REMEMBERED WATCHING
THE MOVIE. and I REMEMBERED TO WATCH THE MOVIE.
ChatGPT said:

ChatGPT

The two sentences differ in their meaning due to the use of different verb tenses and
constructions.

1. "I REMEMBERED WATCHING THE MOVIE."


o Meaning: This sentence implies that you have a memory or recollection of an
experience—specifically, of watching the movie. The verb "remembered" here
refers to the act of recalling a past event. It suggests that the watching of the
movie happened at some point before the moment of remembering.
o Example Context: You might say this after having thought about a movie you
saw a long time ago and recalling the experience of watching it.
2. "I REMEMBERED TO WATCH THE MOVIE."
o Meaning: This sentence indicates that you had a reminder or thought about
needing to watch the movie, and then you actually went ahead and did it. The
verb "remembered" in this case means you didn't forget to carry out an action
(watching the movie) that you had intended to do. It's more about a mental check
or realization to take action.
o Example Context: You might say this after initially forgetting to watch the
movie but then remembering later and making sure to do it.

In short:

 "I remembered watching" = recollection of an event that already happened.


 "I remembered to watch" = a reminder to carry out an intended action.

Here is the table with the correct placement of verbs based on the sentence structure:

Verb + ING To + Infinitive Noun + To + Infinitive


a. avoided going b. advise me to stay
d. begin eating c. afford to buy
f. denied doing e. taught my sister to ride
g. discuss changing h. permitted to wear i. arranged to meet
j. enjoy eating k. urged the student to go
l. suggested spending

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."

the verbs that i will gave you (hate, forget, regret,start , try, continue) can all be followed by
eirhter verb+ing ot to+ infinitve. with which verbs would the meaning of the sentence stay the
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

 Verb + ING: "I hate going to the dentist."


o Meaning: This suggests a general dislike of the activity.
 To + Infinitive: "I hate to go to the dentist."
o Meaning: This suggests you dislike the idea of having to go to the dentist at this
particular moment (often used with an action that is about to happen).
 Meaning stays the same when talking about dislike in general, but changes slightly
when you express dislike about a specific future action.

2. Forget

 Verb + ING: "I forgot meeting him yesterday."


o Meaning: This suggests you have no memory of the event or action that already
happened.
 To + Infinitive: "I forgot to meet him yesterday."
o Meaning: This means you intended to meet him but didn't do it.
 Meaning changes: The -ing form refers to forgetting something that happened, while the
infinitive form refers to forgetting an intended action or duty.

3. Regret

 Verb + ING: "I regret saying those words."


o Meaning: This suggests a feeling of remorse about something you did in the past.
 To + Infinitive: "I regret to say that we cannot offer you the job."
o Meaning: This is typically used when delivering bad news or regret about
something happening in the present or future.
 Meaning changes: The -ing form refers to a past action you regret, while the infinitive
form is often used in formal contexts to announce something regrettable.

4. Start

 Verb + ING: "I started learning French last year."


o Meaning: This suggests the beginning of an activity that is still ongoing or was
initiated in the past.
 To + Infinitive: "I started to learn French last year."
o Meaning: This can also refer to the beginning of an action but tends to emphasize
the initial decision to start the action.
 Meaning stays the same: There is often little difference in meaning, but the -ing form
can sound more natural when describing ongoing activities.

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.

6. Continue

 Verb + ING: "She continued working after lunch."


o Meaning: This suggests the activity was ongoing and continued in the same
manner.
 To + Infinitive: "She continued to work after lunch."
o Meaning: This also means the activity continued, but it's more neutral and can be
used with both ongoing actions and actions that were resumed after a break.
 Meaning stays the same: There is usually no significant difference in meaning between
the two forms.
