@Tsundoku I am just going to lay it out here and I won't go into further detail because 1. I don't have the time 2. I have said most of the things that I am going to say and they didn't come home to you so I don't expect it to be any different this time around

@RajorshiKoyal when you say "one of" something, you mean "one of many"

Q: Asking for Bibliography about infinitive or ING

I would dare to ask for bibliography (books or sites, etc) about a kind of dictionary on verbs construction. I mean, whether they should be constructed with to + infinitive, or with ing, or to + ing, or infinitive without to, etc. I've already found something, but not an exhaustive source. So, wo...

Q: Strange Function : Please reconsider : Why does the ELL need the edit before to reverse from downvote to upvote?
