Exercício: TOEFL Test - ''I have trouble remembering''

Yes, it would be wrong.
The handout is just to help students out with verbs that must finish in ING.

Complemento:

Como disse o Paulo, há expressões que pedem o ING, e "have trouble" é uma delas. Há outras indicando "dificuldade" com a mesma característica:

Have difficulty remembering, etc.
Have problems remembering, etc.
Have a hard time remembering, etc.

= Ter dificuldade para lembrar, etc.

Dica do Longman Dictionary:

You can have problems doing something. Do not use 'to do'
• I'm having a problem finishing (NOT a problem to finish) this.
• He had problems finding (NOT problems to find) a job.

After certain expressions you use gerund in the ING form, not the infinitive (with TO).
For more you can see in this handout.

ESLprof.com/handouts/Info/verb+gerund.doc

[Now you download it and save in your computer, or print it out and get it handy.]


As I said, the handout divide the verbs in "groups", that are:
1-Preference
2-Memory
3-stopping
4-Continuing
5-Thinking and Concentrating
6-Conversation
7-Being Careful
8-Delaying
9-Difficulty
10-Spending Time
11-Denial and Confession
12-Anticipation
13-Adapting
14-Activities; and
15-The "Lucky Seven" verbs can be followed by a gerund or an infinitive.
1. Continue 2. Start 3. Begin 4. Love 5. Like 6. Hate 7. Can't stand (=hate)
