To+infinitive/verb+ing = Some more uses

- Start can be used with both the infinitive / verb+ing with no real difference in meaning.
It started raining./It started to rain.
Start+ing is more common when we talk about a habit or a longer activity.
I started working here in 2005.

- Try and Remember (to+infinitive) can also be used +ing but the meaning is different.
Why don't you try doing yoga? = experiment with something.
Do you remember meeting him last year? = Remember something after it happened.

- After Make and Let use the infinitive without to.
Singing makes me feel bad.
My parents don't let me go out in weekends.
