Объяснение:

В английском есть глаголы и выражения/конструкции, после которых всегда используется герундий (глагол + ing). Например, imagine, suggest, keep, no point in и т.д. Такие глаголы и выражения надо заучивать.

Также есть глаголы и выражения, после которых нужно использовать инфинитив, с to или без to: promise, want, plan и т. д. Эти глаголы тоже надо знать.
