The phrasal verb go on can be followed by either a gerund or
an infinitive. The meanings of these two
things are not the same.
+ gerund
He went on talking about his car for two hours.
This means he only talked about his car, non stop, for two
hours.
+ infinitive
He started talking about motorcycles, then he went on to
talk about cars.
This means he changed the subject (either closely related or
not). He started talking about one
thing, then something else.
