I'd like to ask you a question. In my English grammar book is stated that after the verb ADVISE follows gerund or object and infinitive. But another book states that the verb ADVISE can be followed only by TO+Infinitive of verb.
Which possibility is correct?

Hi,
After the verb advise there are two possible structures:
- Gerund: verb + -ing:
They advise walking to town.
- Infinitive: verb + person + to-infinitive:
They advise us to walk to town.
Other verbs which follow this pattern are below:
| allow | They do not allow smoking here. They do not allow us to smoke here. |
| encourage | They encourage doing the test. They encourage us to do the test. |
| permit | They do not permit smoking here. They do not permit us to smoke here. |
Hope this helps
Matt
