use of gerund or infinitive
|
|
Hi everybody! I need some help, please! I have this sentence to complete with infinitive or gerund: (...) Convinced that his true _______ (call) was out there Sean felt like crossing (....). Now, I believe the answer is Calling. Am I correct? Thanks in advance Ascincoquinas. |

Hi there. The correct choice is "calling" but I don �t believe that this is a case of having to choose between Gerund or Infinitive form. In this sentence, the word "calling" is a noun, not a verb. have a nice Sunday |

I also agree - "calling" is right, meaning a "vocation" and yes, Graca is right it �s a noun here
