Hi Panha! Good news: No, it doesn't! Verbs like "start", "begin", and "continue" mean exactly the same thing whether you use a gerund OR an infinitive. "It started to rain" and "It started raining" are both 100% correct and mean the same thing! ☔
What about "forget"? Is it the same rule as "remember"?
Yes, exactly! "Forget + V-ing" means you forget a past memory (I will never forget seeing Paris). "Forget + to V" means you forgot to do your task (I forgot to lock the door). Same logic! đ§
Teacher, does "start" change meaning too? Like "start raining" vs "start to rain"?
