Hi,

Question:
Should I say "research or do research" in my sentence?

Background:
In the first year of my BSc, there was a group research project about company shares.

Sentence:
John teamed with me, because he believed my ability to research/do research.

Thanks

Hi!

I'm not ateacher.

I'd write this way:

1. John teamed up with me because he believed in my ability to do research.
2. John teamed up with me because he believed in my ability at getting research done.
