Hola,One of the questions in the mini quiz read ... ¡Es increíble que ________ creyendo en él! It is incredible that you continue believing in him!Can you explain why the gerundio "creyendo" is used here and not the infinitive "creer." Hopefully there is a lesson on this.Thanks. John

This question relates to:Spanish lesson "Conjugate Spanish stem-changing verbs (e > i) and (gu > g): seguir, conseguir, perseguir in the present subjunctive (El Presente Subjuntivo)"
