hello,

I don't quite get it? You said "infinitive construct" isn't that "to +V?"
But here the sentence is not like this?

1. He has done more than write successful novels.
2. He has done mroe than writing successful novles.
3. He has done more than written successful novels.

To be more sepecifically, which of the above sentence is correct? and which is not correct?

confused Paula
