Question(please) Hi, everyone Could you help menwith two questions? 1) Would you use the inifitive or the gerund in these sentences? , "I will spend my Money on the house rather than take a vacation" "Rather than care/caring for her, you dumped her in the back seat and just drove around" "Rather than add/adding value, financial engineers often extract as much as they can" 2) Do you say "arrive at school/work", don't you? Then why, in a Boston Globe article, they wrote "Many buses still arriving late TO school"? Please

I will spend my money rather than TAKE a vacation. Rather than CARING for her, you dumped her in the back seat and just drove around. Rather than ADDING value, financial engineers often extract as much as they can. “arrive at” means “to reach” (often a conclusion or a decision), not “to travel”. This is why this is different. I could say: The managers arrived at a conclusion. No travelling here. “Many buses are still arriving late TO school”. “To” is used because this is talking about the action of travelling. I hope that helps.
