As the object of a sentence, it is more difficult to choose between a gerund or an infinitive.
- He enjoys swimming.
- He wants to swim.
In such situations, gerunds and infinitives are not normally interchangeable. Usually, the main verb in the sentence determines whether you use a gerund or an infinitive.
Below there are two useful links where you can find lists of verbs usually followed by gerunds and infinitives.
