Hi everyone,
My problem is that I can't decide which phrase is correct: prepared for sb/sth doing sth, or prepared for sb/sth to do sth.
Here are some example sentences:
He was prepared for his friend to come.
He was prepared for his friend's arrival.
He was prepared for a burglar to be lurking in one of the dark corners.
He was prepared for a burglar lurking in one of the dark corners.
Thanks in advance for clarification.
