"chance of" vs "chance to"

Guest:
Hi, CalifJim,
Just wondering what you might think of Wilson Follett's take on missing "the" as presented in his "Modern American Usage."

CalifJim:
I'm sure you're right.

Guest:
I am right? Jim, about what?

Hi, Jim.
Thanks for your replies.

In the following two sentences, which one would you use often?

(1) I am busy doing a homework.
(2) I am busy to do a homework.

How do they different grammatically?

I believe that (1) is descrbing the action which you are doing, and the second one is describing the action which you will be doing shortly.

Sometimes, you use -ing form after verbs, and adjectives... "-ing form"(so called either gerund or present participle) often modifies subject or object...and they are like subject and object complement. However, I am not too sure about this and could someone help me understand this?

Because in following examples, I often hesitate to use the "-ing form" since I often get a confusion.

(a) Do you mind "telling" me about what had happened before I have arrived?
=> I think it should be "ing-form"...but I am not sure...
(b) I often see him "playing" a soccer game in weekends.
(c)I really couldn't imagine ever saying that and thinking I was correct
(d)I always remember being immediately corrected by my teachers.
etc...


Thank you in advance

Hi, Jim.
Thanks for your reply and it really did help me.

But what if I say in present tense, would it be still correct? or Would it have different meaning this time like in "I saw him play a soccer match yesterday I saw him playing a soccer match yesterday" ?

(1) Do you mind tell me ...=> I know it sounds a bit weird
(2) I often see him play

Like in "Could you help me find a carrot?"

It may be different depending on which expression you are using like you said, but then until I hear your confirmation, I can not be sure.

Thank you in advance.
