Afraid
0 Hi Teachers, 02 br
02 br
00 Filling in a test I came across the sentence below whose solution I don’t understand. 02 br
02 br
00 I was afraid ... into the house because I was afraid … bitten by the dog. 02 br
02 br
00 A.) to go, of being 02 br
02 br
00 B.) of going, to be 02 br
02 br
00 I chose "B" but the correct answer would have been "A". I can’t see the difference between them. Can you explain why "A" is better then "B" for this sentence? 02 br

0 Because 01 i 00 afraid 02 i 00 takes only the 01 i 00 of +-ing 02 i 00 form for the passive voice ( 01 i 00 I was afraid of being bitten 02 i 00 ), while the active voice can take either form ( 01 i 00 I was afraid to go / of going into the house 02 i 00 ), only A is correct. 0-
