Oblika *to-infinitive* daje večji poudarek *rezultatom* dejanja ali dogodka. Obliko na -ing pogosto uporabljamo za izražanje uživanja (ali njegovega pomanjkanja), obliko to-infinitiv pa za izražanje navad ali želja. Oblika na -ing je pogostejša od oblike to-infinitive po besedah *hate (sovražiti) in love (ljubiti).* Kadar uporabljamo "would" z besedami *hate, like, love ali prefer*, uporabljamo *to-infinitive* in ne oblike na -ing.

*Želje glede sedanjosti ali prihodnosti* S spletno stranjo "to wish" lahko govorimo o nečem, za kar si želimo, da bi bilo v sedanjosti ali prihodnosti drugače. Uporabljamo *željo + preteklik:* "I wish I spoke Italian." "I wish you were here." "I wish I had a big car."
