Hello all.
I have the following sentence:
I was really stupid to follow/to have followed my mother´s advice. She was totally wrong.
My textbook says I can use both "to follow" and "to have followed" as well. I would go for the "to follow" because to me it seems to be the most logical option. Why is it possible to use perfect infinitive? Does that emphasise something special compare to the "normal" infinitive?
Thank you )
