 Re: Basic rules for gerunds and infinitives
You're walking in a minefield there. Without knowing the nationality of your students it is difficult to advise you but please don't try to teach all those uses at one go.
Decide which aspect you want to concentrate on and keep it at that. For example, you might want to teach verbs that can take infinitive or gerund with different meaning. E:G: stop doing/stop to do, remember doing/ remember to do, try doing/try to do etc. Devise different activities that really make sure the students understand and can use it confidently.
I hope it goes well.
