When to use INSTEAD

You use ‘instead’ on its own as an adverb.    I tried to make her laugh, but instead I offended her.


But when it’s used as a preposition, you say ‘instead of.   I offended her instead of making her laugh.

Notice that you use the –ing form after ‘instead of' and not the infinitive (making, not make)
