Help the exhausted college student complain about their terrible roommate. Select ALL the sentences that correctly use a verb followed by an -ing form (gerund).
The correct answers are:
- He completely avoids washing the dishes.
- He denies eating my leftover pizza, even with cheese on his face.
- He keeps borrowing my laptop without asking.
Certain verbs in English must be followed by a gerund (-ing form) rather than an infinitive. Common examples include avoid, deny, and keep.
Verbs like refuse and promise must be followed by an infinitive with to (e.g., refuses to clean, promised to take).
