When I have to put ING after verbs
Hi, guys!
There are some verbs , like LIKE (it wasn't a joke), START and STOP that we have to put ING after them.
Could someone tell me after what kind of verb I have to do that?
Thanks a lot!
Hugs!

to look / looking. speaking to you as a native speaker, TO look feels like future. and lookING is space thing.
>I was looking< >I am looking< >I will be looking<
ING is like beING inside of what you are saying.
I am lookING at this computer screen means i started a minute ago and i will finish in a minute.
I am between startING to look and finishING lookING.
and Look means you do it One Time. Look = 1 time. Looking = some time.
Now Look at this (one time). You are Looking at this (started and will finish soon)

In an other topic a guy gave me a good explanation, Leandro.
Like the example that Junior wrote, we have to put gerund form after a preposition.
Good luck, because I'm working hard in this part and it's not so easy to record the rules..rs..We have to practice. And this is not so easy either.
