That's what would be required for "She doesn't like me to be her superior" to make sense to me. (She doesn't mind it when Joe or Mary are her superiors, but she doesn't like me to be her superior.)http://www.englishforums.com/English/Verb/hrmkz/post.htm#588363Thu, 08 Jan 2009 16:41:31 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:588363Enchanted1http://www.englishforums.com/English/Verb/hrmkz/post.htm#588363http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-588363.xmlBy the way, Geek: Can you tell me why "She doesn't like me to be her superior" is not likely a sentence?

It means she doesn't like the fact that you are her superior. She doesn't like me to be her superior. -- This is not a very likely sentence. It sounds like she has various people who are her superior; sometimes it's you and sometimes other people. She doesn't like it when you are her superior. She doesn't like that I will be her superior. -- She doesn't like the fact that you will soon be her superior.http://www.englishforums.com/English/Verb/hrmkz/post.htmThu, 08 Jan 2009 16:41:31 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:588290Enchanted4http://www.englishforums.com/English/Verb/hrmkz/post.htmhttp://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-588290.xml"she doesn't like me being her superior" in this sentence, if i say: she doesn't like me to be her superior. is the meaning the same? or changed? Some one told me that if you use being, meaning you're already her superior, use to be, mean, you'll soon be. Is his explanation accurate? Thank you! Ench
