could you provide some sentences and people can correct them?
i will try. I THINK you are asking "when do i add (-ing) after a verb and when do I add (to) before a verb?
here are some examples:
The boy was running yesterday, when he fell
Look at that boy, he's running.
The boy wanted TO RUN
I am DRIVING my car
I was DRIVING my car yesterday, when it started to rain
I am going TO DRIVE my car
She is SHOPPING for food
Yesterday she was SHOPPING for food, and today she is staying home.
She wanted TO SHOP for food, but she had to do something else.
MAYBE.. the answer is, you add (-ing) when you're talking about an action that doesn't have a start / ending time. I'm not sure. I think you add (to), when there are (2) verbs.
please look at the examples and see what you think.
good luck

sorry
l gotta make sure well
l hope you can say me (;
l gotta make sure well
l hope you can say me (;
- Inglese (Stati Uniti)
SEE BELOW:
l like playing guitar - GOOD
she loves dancing - GOOD
we use it for saving some money - NO: "We use it TO SAVE MONEY"
they help me before sleeping - NO: 'They help me sleep" (guitar??)
we're out of eating - NO: "We're OUT TO EAT" (meaning, you went to a restaurant and you are there now)
eating with them was fun - GOOD
going out with my father was kinda boring - PERFECT
they keep out of entering to my room - NO: not sure what you mean. They STOPPED GOING INTO MY ROOM?
are you gonna stop playing all tile? - I don't know what "all tile" is. Is it a game, or are you asking a GROUP of people if they are going to stop?
IF SO.... "Are you ALL GONNA STOP playing tile?" is better
(You know... gonna / wanna / kinda.... is slang and you would only say it or write it very casually never in business or professional use)

I don't know that those are "firm" rules. For example, I could say:
"Whenever I hear Motown Music, I start TO DANCE"
but it's also fine to say "Whenever I hear Motown Music, I start DANCING"
EITHER ONE is fine.

the verb is TO FINISH, not "fenish" just a quick correction..
I think if you're trying to learn the rules (when learning a language), that's good.. but eventually you will just learn the phrases as they are, and use them in regular conversation. Learning a language can be hard...

I think that watching ("ing") you tube videos with basic english lessons might be useful also.
Good luck! you are trying and that's good.
