| Jun 20, 2013 at 1:20 | comment | added | FumbleFingers | @Kaiser Octavius: I know, and I've already closevoted as a dup of one of the vast number of earlier questions regarding infinitive/gerund (not that one, as it happens). But although we both know that's what OP means, that's not what he's asked. | |
| Jun 20, 2013 at 1:14 | comment | added | Kaiser Octavius | @FumbleFingers: OP meant when the infinitive is the subject. | |
| Jun 20, 2013 at 1:05 | comment | added | FumbleFingers | If "You are neglecting me" is changed to "You are to neglect me", it doesn't mean the same thing. And if "I don't mean to neglect you" is changed to "I don't mean neglecting you" it's no longer valid English at all. | |
