To learn / learning

Hello!
in exercise 101203, sentence 5: Learning English is a priority in every life. I wrote "To learn..." .
IŽd like to know why I was wrong.
I thought that the to-inf. and the -ing form were interchangeable.
Thank you for your reply

Hello,
we use both gerunds and infinitives as the subjects of sentences. Both are acceptable but -ing is more common.
Regards.

Hello,
That sentence has been modified so that both Learning and To learn are now accepted.
