Hi all!!
Related to these sentences:
1- It's cheaper to send a message.
2- Sending a message is cheaper.
3- It's cheaper sending a message.
I'd choose in this order: 1-2-3 (making the third the least preferred)
All natives I've asked, all agree with me. They'd choose 1-2-3 as I did.
I consider number 3 wrong because I've always been taught that after an adjetive always follows an infinitive (to+ verb), but some americans have said they didn't find any grammatical error in this sentence, although they considered it the least preferred too.
So, my question is: Is it possible to say "adjetive + -ing verb"?
