Activity Gerunds Vs Infinitives
Hi Rebeca,
Well, I finally made a change! Last week I said to myself, “I’m tired of looking at these old kitchen
wall.” So, I decided to repaint them. (decide/ repaint)
My roommate. Sara suggests making a plan before we did it. (suggest/ make) Then she said,
“shouldn’t we practice painting first?” (practice/ paint) But I already know how to paint, and I
don’t mind trying new things (not/ mind/ try)
Anyway, we finally choose to give the kitchen a cheerful color- bright yellow! (choose/ give) I’m
not sure, but Sara doesn’t seem to like the new color (not/ seem/ like) I don’t think she enjoys
painting, either (enjoy/ paint) But I do, and I’m plan to paint the living room next-tomato red!
(plan/ paint) What do you think about that?
Lucia.
