Example: > Three months had passed since she started **to avoid** me. > > Three months had passed since she started **avoiding** me. Right now, what I do is to search for the phrase with the most results in Google Books (e.g. _she started to avoid me_ vs _she started avoiding me_). Still, I wonder: is there any way to decide whether to use the former or the latter?
