Reporting verbs shape recommendations. Like suggest, others avoid infinitives: recommend, advise, propose, insist. They take gerunds (recommend reading), that-clauses (advise that he read), or nouns (propose a plan). Avoid "to do" after them.

Some English verbs are followed by verb + -ing (the gerund form).
- I enjoy reading.
- She avoids driving at night.
- They finished working early.
After verbs like enjoy, avoid, finish, suggest, consider, keep, use -ing.
