I saw a sentence, underlying, today, but I wondered why the author wrote "open minds to looking at" instead "open minds to look at". I am not sure which one is correct.
We need to open our minds to looking at climate change not only as a biophysical, political, economic problem, but at the ramifications of people’s own reality.
@Tess4Eng,
This seems a bit harder grammar rule to state, so perhaps others may have a more solid reasoning. What I would isolate is the phrase 'minds to look' (as opposed to 'minds to looking') and say it should read:
"We need to open our minds to look at climate change not only as a biophysical, political, economic problem, but at the ramifications of people’s own reality. "
.
@Tess4Eng,
I'd go with "to look at" as well.
Stumble It!
