I have many doubts when using verbs in the beginning of a phrase.
For example, when enumerating tasks. Which are the correct sentences?
1. Watching a movie. / To stay at home / Stay at home. 2. Formatting a disk. / To format a disk. / Format a disk. 3. Staying at home. / To stay at home. / Stay at home. 4. Walking around. / To walk around. / Walk around.
I would be very glad if someone explained the different of meanings. An explanation about the rules would be very appreciated.
Thank you all!

There is no way of judging outside of the context, but the list members must all have the same structure within any list.
