Sarah  +  1506 Mon, 30 Jun 03 10:12 AM Can you tell me which of the below is correct and if there is a rule/formula I can use to remember this! 'It's fun scrunching through leaves', 'it's fun scrunching through the leaves' or 'it's fun to scrunch through the leaves'. Thanks Sarah Joined on Mon, Jun 16 2003 New Member 08

All of those examples are correct, it would even be correct to say "it's fun to scrunch through leaves" I'm not sure about the rules, I'll have to ask.. hitchhiker Joined on Mon, Nov 18 2002 Richmond, UK Senior Member 3,442 "They obstinately persisted in their absence." —HGTG

	maj  +  1520 Mon, 30 Jun 03 04:39 PM I would say " It is fun to scrunch through the leaves". "The" refers to the fallen leaves. If you want to say the same sentence but you'd prefer to use a gerund I would say: "I enjoy scrunching through the leaves" I would use the article because, again, I am referring to the fallen ones. maj Joined on Mon, Mar 31 2003 Senior Member 4,756 Articles, Gerunds
