Gerunds look like any regular verbs, except that they usually end in -ing and function as nouns in sentences. Similarly, infinitives are also relatively easy to spot - they usually have the word TO + any verb.
So, this is how you should complete your assignment:
I keep telling people that I love to dance, to write, and to paint.
You don't have to change telling here, because it is part of the verb.
