He requested to receive/receiving the present his father promised him as soon as possible.
Should it be 'receive' or 'receiving'?
Many thanks.
@tanguatlay,
to receive
Someone else may be able to explain the rule
Off the top of my head I can't think of any instance where you would use "to (verb)ing"
@tanguatlay,
Asked is better than requested in my opinion. One uses the infinitive of the verb, i.e. "to receive". "To receiving" is not English.
@contrex,
Thanks, Parados and Contrex.
