depend on sb doing/to do sth I'm depending on you telling/to tell me everything.
We're depending on him finishing/to finish the job by Friday.
Can both the -ing form and the infinitive be used without causing difference in meaning?
Thank you in advance.

Re: depend on sb doing/to do sth Both of them work, but personally, I would use the infinitive (I'm depending on you to tell me everything/ We're depending on him to finish the job by Friday).
