Admit
Hello, teachers!
Please help me with these.
1. He doesn't admit [to] his fault.
Which is correct with or w/o 'to'? I think both are correct, but we usually don't use 'to'. Am I correct?
2-1. He admitted (to) lying.
2-2. He admitted (to) having lied.
I think these are all correct and have the same meaning. Am I right?
Thank you very much.
Peace!

Yes, and yes, Jandi. Of course, the 'to' is really redundant, since 'ad-' means 'to'.
