spend more time to

Hi,

Question:
Do I use "spend more time to" correctly?

Sentence:
My girl friend is boring.
She wants me to spend more time to chat with her.

My opinion:
I think it is fine, but I would like to see other people's opinion.

Thanks

Not a teacher.
As far as I know, the correct structure is 'spend more time doing sth' not 'spend more time to do sth'.

'spend more time doing sth'

Hi,

Do I need a "on"?

Ie, 'spend more time on doing sth'

Thanks

Yes, you can add 'on' but it's optional.
Have a look at some discussion I found on Google:

Do you mean that his is boring, or that she is bored?
