gerund or infinitive

Question

Could you check my examples of using gerund or infinitiv?

Do you remerber leaving your first school? (talking about past)

Rememer to clean yout teath! (talking about future)

I stopped smoking.

I used to smoke but I stop to feel better. I had been cooking and I stopped to pick up the phone.

John proposed going to the debate. (=suggest)

I´m not sure of "try", I appreciate if you could explain it to me:

Thanks a lot.
