because it changes its meaning 意味が変わるからだ

or a verb with to.

So, let's take a look at some examples.

These two sentences are almost exactly the same

but their meaning is a little bit different.

When we use 'try' with an –ing,

all we're saying is that we attempted to do something.

It could be a new experience

– something that you haven't done before.
