To + verb-ing

I have a question that has been bothering me for a while. Can you please explain to me in these sentences below I've found during my various reading time, what are the usage of "to verb + ing" mean and why and when should we use that form:

1. What's the best approach to keeping the peace?
2. At about 8 months, your baby will probably start trying to pull up to standing while holding onto furniture.
3. it would probably be similar to having a tornado run over a big open space.

Many thanks!

Anonymous what are the usage of "to verb + ing" mean and why and when should we use that form: The verb+ing is called a gerund when it is used as a noun in a sentence. htm The example in part 2, example #11 relates to your sentence #1 After you go through the tutorial and the exercises, then you will be able to answer your questions, and recognize other sentences that use this verb form. If you have more questions, please post them!
