Continue to/ continue + Ving?

The flow of the sentence is not very logical to me.

You can use either the infinitive or the gerund as the object.

This is what I would say:

I'll leave you now for an hour, so you may continue painting (to paint) your wall.

Thank you very much!

I'll see you after an hour/ I'll see you an hour------------are they just grammatically wrong and sound weird to you?

They are understandable and not grammatically wrong, but the more commonly used phrase is "I#ll se you IN an hour".

Thank you very much:-)

"Ill see you an hour" is not correct. You do need a preposition to specify. Otherwise the other person won't know if you mean "in an hour", "for an hour", "after an hour"...

Sorry I overlooked that.

The problem is the conjunction "so." It is out of place. Here are some logical sequences.

I'll see you in an hour. You may continue painting your wall.

I will return after an hour. In the meantime, please continue painting the wall.

I will leave so that you can continue painting your wall. I'll see you in an hour.

The reason that I am leaving for an hou

Dear nikoer,

Both forms are possible after continue.

You can use both paint and painting here. I would use painting.

However, I'd say this sentence as following:

I'll see you in / within an hour, while you may be continuing to paint your wall.

Your suggestion "while you may be continuing to paint your wall" doesn't work.

Why not? I think it works perfectly. There's nothing wrong with saying it.[H]
