Answers

1. My daughter enjoys playing with her kittens. (Enjoy cannot be followed by an infinitive.)

2. Have you forgotten to bring your hall ticket? (Forget is followed by an ing form when we are talking about things that happened in the past. In other cases, use the infinitive.)

3. She works hard to earn money.

4. I requested him to lend me a few hundred rupees. (Request is followed by a to-infinitive.)

5. My mother does not allow me to stay up late. (Allow is followed by an infinitive.)

6. Is he busy cooking?

7. I heard them sing / singing. (The verb hear is followed by an ing form or an infinitive without to.)

8. I told her to mind her own business. (The verb tell cannot be followed by an ing form; use an infinitive instead.)
