GERUNDS AND INFINITIVES

Both gerunds and infinitives can be nouns, which means they can do just about anything that a noun can do. Although they name things, like other nouns, they normally name activities rather than people or objects. 

• Her favorite fantasy is to play basketball for UConn.

The gerund can also play this role:

• Her favorite fantasy is playing basketball for UConn.
