The Infinitive
In what cases is the sentence "I don't like you to do it" possible? Not 'I wouldn't like you to do it' or "I don't want you to do it'', but "I don't like you to....." Is it possible in general (with the sense that 2 last sentences have)???
And of course, I differ it from "I don't like your doing it" (or "you doing it)
Top answer
In the last sentence I omitted the words "would like to differ", since I know that "I don't like you to do it" and "I don't like your doing it" are the same. ' or not. Though it seems to me, that the answer will be negative.

I'm just interested in whether the former sentence can have the meaning of "I don't want you to...' or not. Though it seems to me, that the answer will be negative.
