 I regret having done vs to have done something
I would spontaneoulsly have used a gerund after the verb "regret", as in "I regretted not having bought / not buying the house while the interest rates vere low" since regrets occur in connection with acts that one has actually performed (or not performed).
However, I discovered a significant number of occurrences of sentences featuring the structure "I regret not to have done something" on Google.
Could I ask you if you would consider such kind of sentences as acceptable ?
Many thanks in advance for your help. |
