Do "dread to do something" and "dread doing something" mean the same thing?
How do these sentences sound?
- He can't swim and dreads to go going in the water. Grammatical, but we'd normally use a gerund.
- I dread thinking to think about what they might do next. Again grammatical, but normally we'd use 'to think'.
