can you correct the exercise? thank you
Match each verb (in both the gerund and infinitive form) with definitions a-j
verbs: stop / try/ remember /regret /mean
a) do something to see what happens as a result = try
b) be sorry for something you've done = regret
c) intend to do something = trying
d) not forget that something must be done = remembering
e) stop something you've been doing =stop
f) involve or require something =mean
g) be sorry about something you're going to do =regretting
h) stop one thing to do something else = stopping
i) not forget something which has already happened =remember
j) see if it's possible to do something =meaning

Hi Stefi
The instruction seems to imply that you should give both forms as the answer to each; infinitive and gerund. I am sure a language teacher will be able to answer this better than me, but I would answer each question with both, to xxxx and xxxxing. What you have so far is a bit of a mixture.
Basically, you already have the correct verbs, except for these:
c) - to mean to, and/or meaning to
j) - to try, and/or trying

As a native English speaker this is a very badly worded question. Many of the sentences could have multiple answers. I would not want to confuse you by saying you are right or wrong. for example C) "I will TRY to do something" or as Neal say "I have been Meaning to do something". in both sentences you have an intention to do something.
This is a common problem often seen in teaching material especially when learning languages. I'm afraid it is just a poorly constructed question.
