gerund & infinitive

the word 'reckless' is followed by gerund or infinitive?
  

Top answer

Anonymous the word 'reckless' is followed by gerund or infinitive? Technically speaking, it most often modifies a noun or gerund, for example: "reckless driving". But that is not to say it's impossible to find the word "reckless" in front of an infinitive in a sentence.

Reckless, like many other adjectives, can be followed by a to-infinitival that is an extraposed subject or a complement of too:

It would be reckless to do such a thing.
