grammar - Try to do something vs. Try doing something


Is there any differences between



Try to do



And



Try doing



Thank you in advence.



Answer



Try to do is an effort to do something which you already know.


For example.


I tried to open the door.


I tried to call her.


Try doing is an effort based on more of a guess work.


For example.


Try hitting it with hammer, it might come off.


An elaborate post here.
