The world's clumsiest bank robber is testifying in court. Select ALL the statements where he correctly uses a verb (or verb + preposition) followed by the -ing form.
The correct answers are:
- I apologize for dropping the bags of cash on my foot.
- I really don't mind spending a few months in a quiet jail cell.
- I look forward to meeting my new cellmate.
When a verb is followed by a preposition (like for in apologize for or to in look forward to), any following verb must be in the -ing form (gerund). The verb mind also takes a direct gerund object.
Admit to requires a gerund (admit to forgetting), and decide requires an infinitive (decided to confess).
