Infinitif ou -ing

The position of the verbs in a sentence has a major impact on their forms.

In general, but not a rule, the verb 'spend' is followed by a verb with -ing form.

He spent his day listening to music.

So I will try to give a brief list of verb forms.

a) verbs in the infinitive with to are used after: 

 try, promise, agree, choose, forget, learn, want etc....

 can't afford.., to be able...,etc...

b) verbs with -ing form are used after:

 hate, dislike, avoid,enjoy, finish, spend, etc...

 do/would you mind...,  can't help...,etc..

 c)both, gerund(-ing form) or to are used after certain verbs:
