I already got an answer for the below question, but I'm still not sure why try to makes possible unsuccessful meaning, while try ~ing means a suggestion. Can anyone answer me?
========================================
Can we say try to in this example or not?
If she won't take your calls, try sending her an email that says how sorry you are.
I think try to send also makes sense. "try to" is about making a serious endeavor or effot, and "try ~ing" is about checking out if something is suitable or possible to do.
