楼主的问题问得很好，我来解释一下。
为什么一般的语法书都藏着掖着，不告诉你不定式和动名词在某些环境下有什么本质区别？
答：因为【不定式】 （Infinitive）在很多印欧语言里面都有，要找到一个通用的解释框架不容易。请看喂鸡百科：
Infinitive (abbreviated inf) is a grammatical term referring to certain verb forms existing in many languages, most often used as non-finite verbs. As with many linguistic concepts, there is not a single definition applicable to all languages.
定义都不好下，怎么解释啊？只能说些各种语言都大致相同的地方了。
有人讲，我就要明白英语的不定式。那也行，找一个野路子让你歪打正着学会了英语的不定式，结果你学了别的语言，发现套用不了，打架了，之前帮你学会英语的【野路子】成了学其他语言的【拦路虎】，这怎么行。
【动名词】（Gerund）有类似的问题，咱不说别的，咱看看这段：
Thus, English grammar uses gerund to mean an -ing form used in non-finite clauses such as playing on computers. This is not a normal use for a Latin gerund. Moreover, the clause may function within a sentence as subject or object, which is impossible for a Latin gerund.
大家都知道，很多欧洲语言的语法都是比照着拉丁语法弄出来的，拉丁语法是妈。结果，英语里面的动名词可以做主语、宾语，拉丁语竟然不行？？？
所以不藏着掖着怎么办呢？喂鸡百科告诉我们，现在有的语法干脆也不区分什么动名词和分词了，直接叫ing形式了：
Traditional grammar makes a distinction within -ing forms between present participles and gerunds, a distinction that is not observed in such modern, linguistically informed grammars as A Comprehensive Grammar of the English Language and The Cambridge Grammar of the English Language.
ing形式，这话是描述长相的，简直跟汉语里面说【把字句】【被字句】差不多了。
所以楼主明白为什么好些语法语焉不详了吧，因为这不只是解释英语现象一个坑，这是要解释印欧语言里面所有对应现象呀！
