3. Verbs Followed by the Gerund

When one verb is followed by another, the second verb is not always in the
infinitive. You can say I want to travel but not I enjoy to travel. Enjoy is
usually followed by the gerund, and so are quite a number of other verbs. The
most common are:
admit appreciate avoid delay deny dislike dread (=dread to think) enjoy escape excuse feel like finish forgive give up hate imagine involve keep (on) like love mind (=object) miss pardon postpone practice prevent prefer put off recollect remember (=recollect) resent resist risk stop (=cease) suggest understand
The gerund is also used after the expressions:
can’t help can’t stand to burst out crying/laughing it is no
use/good it is useless to spend/waste time/money to be worth
to be busy
Examples of verb + gerund sentences:
He admitted taking the money.
Avoid over-eating.
She dreads getting old.
He escaped being eaten by wolves.
Putting in a new window involve cutting away part of the roof.
He kept complaining.
I can’t understand his/him leaving his wife. (See 111)
Is there anything worth buying?
He was busy packing his things.
It’s no good/use arguing.

Note that:

1. 
   Some verbs (e.g. admit, deny, imagine, understand) can also take that-clauses.
   

2. Some verbs (e.g. remember, stop and others) can be followed by the
infinitive with the difference in the meaning.

4. Verbs + Possessive Adjective/Pronoun Object + Gerund

A. If the verb or verb plus preposition is followed directly by the gerund, the
gerund refers to the subject of the verb:
Tom insisted on reading the letter. (Tom read it.)
But if we put a possessive adjective or pronoun before the gerund, the gerund
refers to the person denoted by the possessive adjective/pronoun:
He insisted on my/me reading it. (I had to read it.)

B. The most common verbs and expressions which can take either construction
are:
dislike dread fancy involve like (negative) mind propose recollect remember resent save stop suggest understand approve of disapprove of insist on it’s no good/use there’s no point in what’s the point of

He doesn’t like working late.

He doesn’t like me/my working late.
I object to paying twice for the same thing.
I object to his/him making private calls on this phone.
