 advise + V-ing ??? I saw a sentence which surprised me a bit. Could you help me please? I'd advise taking a taxi. Don't we use 'to + infinitive' after the verb advise? Shouldn't it look like this? I'd advise to take a taxi. or rather: I'd advise you to take a taxi. thanks |

I would say:Iīd advise you take a taxi / Iīd advise taking a taxi. advise is used in the subjunctive form...therefore the base form is used for all persons and tenses...I advised she take the taxi, but she refused it. Am I right? |

| Re: advise + V-ing ??? You can also advise against doing something..she advised me against wearing make up, but I didnīt think it really mattered. |

| Re: advise + V-ing ??? English people would generally use I`d advise you to do something. English is not a set of grammar rules. |
