There are opinions that these two forms, which have universal functionality and valence in the history of the language, can have the same function of complement in modern English. The paper shows that the choice of form (inflectional infinitive or ing -form) in this case is a very difficult problem. The article analyzes such examples, provides the authors’ views on their differences and offers the authors’ possible explanation of this phenomenon.
