Hello guys,
When we start a sentence by using the Gerund, should be continue with the Gerund?
Example:
Giving up a game doesn't necessarily mean giving up a whole community.
I tend to use this version:
Giving up a game doesn't necessarily mean to give up a whole community.
I dislike all these versions:
To give up a game doesn't necessarily mean giving up a whole community.
To give up a game doesn't necessarily mean to give up a whole community.
P.S. I believe we all agree that "in order to" is not possible here
Cheers!
