Answer 1

Gerund after certain verbs (¹): "Love" is a verb that is followed by a gerund, so it becomes "I love dancing."

Gerund after prepositions (²): "Keen on" is a prepositional phrase that is followed by a gerund, so it becomes "I'm keen on singing."

Gerund as the subject or object of a sentence (³): "Swimming" functions as the subject of the sentence, and it is a gerund.

Infinitive after certain verbs (⁴): "Want" is a verb that is followed by an infinitive, so it becomes "I want to learn the guitar."

Infinitive after certain adjectives or to explain purpose (⁵): "Happy" is an adjective that is followed by an infinitive, so it becomes "I'm happy to cook." Also, "to relax" is an infinitive used to explain the purpose of watching TV.
