Question 10
Questions can be divided into yes-no questions (also known as polar questions) and wh- questions (also known as constituent questions), according to the expected answer. As the name implies, the answer to a yes-no question is either 'yes' or 'no.' The answer to a wh- question is expressed by a constituent that corresponds to the wh- phrase in the question. Wh- phrases are so called because they generally begin with wh- in English (who, what, which, where, when, why). How counts as a wh- expression by virtue of its meaning, even though it doesn't begin with wh-. The term wh- phrase is standardly used even for languages other than English.
Direct questions are main clauses, whereas indirect questions are part of a larger matrix sentence. Direct questions are generally used to elicit information. They are associated with characteristic intonation contours, which are represented in standard orthography by a question mark. Indirect question are generally used to report about direct questions and are not associated with a special intonation.

Questions 4 & 8 & 22.

After some verbs we use -ing forms. Some of these verbs are: keep (on) (= 'continue ,not stop'), finish, stop, give up G ,stop for habits), go, can't help (='can't stop myself), suggest, practice, enjoy, love, like, dislike,),hate.
After love, like and hate we can also use infinitives with to with the same meaning.
I love singing. = I love to sing.
When we have preposition + verb, we must use an -ing form.
