...imagine a pencil TO BE/ BEING a creation . . .
Hi teachers!
My question today is about a vern 'imagine'
What I know is that imagine only takes a gerund as an object as in #1. But my colleague argued that #2 is also gramnatical.
Can you please check the sentences below and let me know which are correct and are not?
1. You might not imagine a pencil being a creation itself. (0)
2. You might not imagine a pencil to be a creation itself. (?)
3. You might not imagine a pencil creation itself. (?)
4. You might not imagine a pencil being strong itself. (?)
5. You might not imagine a pencil to be strong itself. (?)
6. You might not imagine a pencil strong itself.
I'm very confused at the moment.
Many thanks in advance.
