Gerund-Infinitive Writing

This worksheet supports students in Grades 6, 7, and 8 as they write a focused paragraph that intentionally incorporates both gerunds and infinitives. Through structured composition, grammar application, sentence planning, and visual identification, learners practice using verb forms accurately while expressing ideas about hobbies, school experiences, or future goals in a meaningful way.
