Verb "adore" Reviewing my last posts on Italki, I did a compilation of my main errors and I would like your help to verify if I could understand properly: 5. The use of verb "adore": After the verb adore at infinitive mode, the verb that follows it must end in "ing". For example, it is wrong to say: "I adore to stay there". The right form is "I adore staying there". Is my inference right?
