I wonder what should be used after "to reduce". I've been looking for examples with this word and couldn't find any where it would have an infinitive or a gerund after it.
He reduced to produce...(wrong)
He reduced producing... (wong)
He reduced the producing/the production (should be ok)
It seems to me that it takes only a noun or a verbal noun. Am I right on that?
