Hello everybody! How is going?
Do you know any trick to know when to write �to� or �to + �ing�?
A simple example:
�do you like to play football?� or �do you like playing football?�
In which context do you use one form or another?

Hi! I can help you! Always remember that you use -ing with verbs as: like hate,love, prefer.
For example, as you have said: I like playING foortbal or I hate polaying football
