driving to the city center

[AirbusA321]

Are both versions possible?

What are your plans for tonight?
1 Take a bath first and then drive to the city center.
2 Taking a bath first and then driving to the city center.

1 is more natural.

I'd use the first but that's because my full answer would be "I'm going to have a bath then drive to the city centre". It would be a very good idea to get dressed between those two activities.

I like that period/full stop next to the smiley.
Is it optional or required?
.

I love the concept of an emotidot. However, that full stop is required. Regardless of what comes after "Try this:", we have reached the end of a sentence so a full stop is needed. That's why "It is" starts with a capital letter.

The full stop could be replaced by a semi-colon. In that case, "it is" would start with a lower case "i".

��(This is supposed to be a smile.)

If you want to type a smiley instead of selecting one, type ;-) or :-D, etc and they will convert into ;-) or :-D, etc.
