Hello,
I am studying the "GMAT Club Ultimate Grammar" book. Between pages 107 and 111, there are some verbs and adjectives mentioned which are used with only infinitives while some other ones used with only gerunds. Does one really need to memorize those verbs and adjectives? Is that the only way to completely suceed in questions about them? If not, does anyone have a suggestion?
Thanks in advance.
By the way I would like to thank people who preapred the "Gmat Club Ultimate Grammar" book because it really is a great, free source!

Hi Conquistador23,Most test takers I work with would not have the time to go through lists like the ones you mentioned. However, this must be your call. Do you think that you don't know whether it's possible to use a gerund or an infinitive? If it's not a problem, I don't see any reason to spend time on it. You could also check whether the mistakes you make in SC are related to this issue.

Thankfully for the most part, most verbs/verb-forms are followed by infinitive (except for some verbs/verb-forms such as deny, avoid, discuss etc.). Also, I have come across very very few official sentences in which two options have gerund vs infinitive as the only difference (an exception is option D vs E in this sentence).
That being the case, you can use other splits, to arrive at the right answer.
