I was asked to identify the correct sentence between
1. He was lost in thought, as if recalling something significant to him.
2. He was lost in thought, as if to recall something significant to him.
The answer is No.2. But I'm not clear why I can't use as if recalling, which seems grammatically correct?
Would you explain it to me? Thank you.
