To preposition or infinitive
I can see the difference between "I am used to doing.." and "I used to do.." but in some other cases it's a bit confusing, example:
" We're committed to using this resource for scientific research. " VS "...committed to use..." ?
" ...In my contract there's a view to going permanant" VS "..to go permanant".
In other words, how can we decide whether TO is a preposition and needs a gerund or it's a part of infinitve?
THANKS.
