"Ing form"

Hi!

Please, may I say:

"They will need travelling" (or I can simply say: "They will need to travel" ?);

What's the correct form here, please:

The boy will need to speak English better (or) The boy will need to speak a better English?

Thanks for helping me!

); Only the latter is correct. What's the correct form here, please: The boy will need to speak English better (or) The boy will need to speak a better English ? Both are technically correct, but the former is much more common and is the way you should say it to reflect your meaning.

  • ); Only the latter is correct.
