Dear Team, Would you mind washing your own coffee mugs for once? Furthermore, I strongly suggest cleaning the microwave before it develops a brand new ecosystem. We really cannot postpone calling an exterminator if you all keep leaving sandwich crumbs on your keyboards.

The verbs mind, suggest, and postpone are always followed by the -ing form (gerund), never the to-infinitive.

• Would you mind washing...? (Not to wash)

• I suggest cleaning... (Not to clean)

• We cannot postpone calling... (Not to call)
