Gerunds Part 3

Looking at gerunds following certain verbs

Sometimes one verb comes after another verb. Often the second verb is in the infinitive form.
For example: He wants to read.

But sometimes the second verb must be in gerund form.
For example: She likes eating.

This depends on the first verb. These are some of the verbs that are usually followed by a verb in gerund form:
admit, appreciate, avoid, carry on, consider, delay, deny, detest, dislike, enjoy, escape, excuse, face, finish, forgive, give up, imagine, leave off, like, mention, mind, miss, postpone, practise, report, resent, risk, suggest, understand

Here are some examples:
John is considering changing his job.
You understand nothing.
I can imagine buying a house in this street.
