[wanabidii] English Grammar

This week I want us to take it easy so I won't burden us with something huge, just a simple brain-teaser.

I was watching Citizen TV of Kenya last evening and I heard someone say something that did not sound correct given the context. I just want to make sure it's clear so if anyone here has any doubt, that doubt will be cleared away.

What's the difference between these 2 sentences?

Warsama stopped to think.

and

Warsama stopped thinking.


These 2 sentences have 2 very different and distinct meanings.

Courage
