*** An infinitive, not a gerund, is used after to be ashamed when it refers to something that hasn't taken place yet, e.g. I'd be ashamed to ask him for help.

**** The gerund may also be used in the function of an adverbial modifier of- 1) concession, e.g. In spite of being busy, she came to the party. 2) condition, e.g Don't enter without being invited. 3) purpose, e.g. His method is used for teaching chil­dren. 4) cause or reason, e.g. He kept silent for fear of making a mistake.

* After the verbs to need, to want, to require and the adjective worth the ger­und is used in the active form though it is passive in meaning.
