Hi,

 

Could you tell me which version is right ?

 

We're discussing our future investments

1. We have not finished discussing our future investments

2. We have not finished to discuss our future investments

 

Thanks !

Thanks Del

 

My new English teacher confidently stated that they are BOTH right. I thought that the second was wrong. Now I know that she was way off.

Talk about proficiency after that !

“My new English teacher confidently stated that they are BOTH right.”

That can't give you much confidence in your teacher.

Well, you can say "we have not started to discuss." Maybe that's what threw him/her.
