This is an issue which a lot of colleagues seem to have had trouble with during the test, so here is an eight-page handout on everything you need to know about the subject.
The basic rule is easy to follow:
if the expression is followed by "to", then the verb which comes next should be an infinitive;
if the expression is followed by any other preposition, then the verb which comes next should be a gerund;
if the expression is not foloowed by any preposition, then the verb which follows should be a gerund.
If in doubt, follow this general rule. However, there are so many exceptions it makes your eyes water. This handout covers all of the most common ones. Enjoy!
