Gerund or infinitive?

Hello everyone! Today I'm posting this activity to practice the use of gerunds or infinitives after verbs. Answer these questions using the correct verbs in a  comment.

1. What must you remember to do before you leave home everyday?
2. What do you remember doing on your last holiday?
3. What do regret not doing in the past?
4. What news would you have for your  parents that might start out "I regret to tell you..."?
5. What have you tried to do but you were  not successful  at?
6. If you have a cold, what could you try doing?
7. What kind of music do you hate listening to?
8. Have you planned to go anywhere on holiday this summer?
9. What kind  of job or where do you hope to work in 10 years time?  

 
Here I'm  leaving you some idioms Natali sent me by email (sorry I've just checked my gmail account 'cause I always use hotmail)connected to their presentation. Idioms are always useful (and difficult to remember!) , so have a look at them.

1.  be up a gum tree (British English informal): to be in a very difficult situation
2. the grass is greener (on the other side): used to say that other places or situations seem better than yours, although they may not really be better
   not let the grass grow under your feet: to not waste time or delay starting something.   
3. put somebody out to grass( informal): to make someone leave their job because they are too old to do it effectively .  
4.  not be out of the wood(s) yet (informal): used to say that there are likely to be more difficulties before things improve 
5. not see the wood(forest) for the trees: to not notice what is important about something because you give too much of your attention to small details
6. bet the farm/ranch (American) :   to spend almost all the money you have on something that you think might bring you success. TV networks are obviously willing to bet the ranch on special sports events - they paid millions to broadcast the Olympics. (often + on)
7.  a funny farm (humorous): a hospital for people who are mentally ill. This expression may be offensive in some situations. If things get much worse they'll be carrying me off to the funny farm. 
8. you could cut the atmosphere with a knife: something that you say to describe a situation in which everyone is feeling very angry or nervous and you feel that something unpleasant could soon happen. There was a lot of tension between Diane and Carol; you could cut the atmosphere in that room with a knife. 
9. sleep like a log/top:  to sleep very well . I don't know if it had anything to do with the wine we drank but I slept like a log. 
10. be as easy as falling off a log (British, American & Australian, American be as easy as rolling off a log): to be very easy . She said writing stories was as easy as falling off a log for her. 
11.  a never-never land: an imaginary place where everything is perfect in a way that it is not in the real world. The film is set in a pre-war English never-never land of roses and sunny days. 
12. the promised land: a place that offers a lot of good opportunities. This phrase comes from the Bible.
    America was the promised land for many immigrant families.
