her practising on me

Hi,

In " I am sick of her practising on me", can you say "practise on me" instead of "practising"?

e.g. I am sick of her practise on me

By the way, is "to be" omitted here?

e.g. I am sick of her (to be) practising on me?

Thanks in advance.

No, you cannot say "practise on me" instead of "practicing". It needs to be said: I am sick of her practicing on me. Yes, "to be" is omitted, it cannot be used in this instance..
