About the use of infitive: -ing or to-infinitive
Posted: Wed Mar 08, 2023 2:41 pm
Hello,
I always have doubts about the use of infinitives. Sometimes, I'm quite sure I'm using them correctly, and sometimes not.
Now, I was writing down a report, and this specific sentence raised doubts in my mind:
Firstly I wrote "Numerical methods allow predicting the parameters". But now I'm thinking "Numerical methods allow to predict the parameters" is better.
Are both correct, and if so, which is better?
Thanks!
