| I wonder why the gerund phrase can't be considered as an appositive, or objective complement like this: "I don't like him [(to be) doing this]" "He [doing this] is not good." Last edited by dihen; 18-Feb-2006 at 12:30. |

| "I don't like him [(to be) doing this]"- Nothing wrong with this one to me. |
