@sarita621 Nemyslíš vážne, že väzbu to+gerund nepoznáš. Preboha veď to je základná angličtina! Naštuduj si gramatiku, kým zo seba spravíš debila a ideš opravovať niekoho, pre koho je anglický jazyk ako kyslík. A mimochodom väzbu RESPODED BY THE PHONE by nepoužil ani maďar učiaci sa angličtinu týždeň.
@vintagedinosaur no však ja som nevravela, že prvá preložená veta bola nesprávne... hovorila som o druhej... však ing forma nejde dokopy s TO predtym... jak je to v tej druhej vete preložene
@sarita621 Lebo je to úplne neprirodzená angličtina, tzv. slovakizmus, dievča zlaté If you want to prove yourself right, I dare you to argue in English.
@sarita621 Thank you for that compliment. My point is that using 'to' plus a verb in the continuous form is in certain cases gramatically correct. Take e.g. the phrase "I'm looking forward to hearing from you" - in fact it would be very wrong to use "... forward to hear from you."
"Confess to commiting the crime" is exactly the same. In this case "commiting" stands as a form of a verbal noun.
@kofolavsrdci I see.... well... okay, then... I would like to apologize myself for my useless objection.. yes, you´re right with your example... I forgot something like that.. thanks, you´ve corrected me... I am sorry.. but that brainiac I didn´t mean serious ... it wasn´t compliment but now... it´s right word to use because of your explanation
@sarita621 Yes, that is a fixed expression, but even in those the grammar rules ought to be followed. In the sentence above, the part "commintting the crime" can be considered as one object. "Commiting" is a noun and that's why it can follow "to". To be honest I've never been into grammar theorems, so I can't explain it better. Another example I found is "He had admitted to deserving the death penalty", where using "deserve" would be incorrect. English is a funny language full of mysteries like these
@kofolavsrdci okay, okay.... thanks for your examples I am sorry for trying to argue and... I am going back to write my fan fiction stories Of course, they´re in English and... when you´ve explained me everything now... I can correct my few mistakes so... you´ve tought me something new at least thanks

Upokoj sa, v tomto význame to je správne
The thief spoke into the phone. He pleaded guilty to the crime.
