Grammar
Adverb adversity
Hi, I have a question about a situation I come across quite often.
Is the following sentence correct?
"Her soft, luscious lips began passionately brushing against mine."
I think not, but the following:
"Her soft, luscious lips began to passionately brush against mine."
Sounds more correct, but I heard that to throw and adverb after to is inadvisable. But I always heard that an adverb has to be in front of the verb.
Does anyone have any clarification on this? Thanks in advance!
