admits to being = correct Explanation: Although I know that's true I needed references: the Google top ref for "verb pattern admit" came up with this: http://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/america... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2014-11-12 21:49:12 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Well, that is a pretty poor dictionary entry - surprising to say the least. It leaves out "admit to + -ing". But it doesn't say that "admit to + inf" is correct. To be honest, you're better off with a learner's dictionary such as the one I linked to. They give all the various verb patterns in full. |
