    Help/ talking or to talk
    Message de jojo7139 posté le 14-08-2024 à 10:25:42 (S | E | F)
    Hello everybody

    Could you help me please?

    After talking with a coworker for the first time,

    What is the best sentence and why?

    It's been a pleasure talking to you
    It's been a pleasure to talk to you

    Thank you in advance.

    Hello,

    Actually, I would say both! I might be wrong but the two sentences are correct to me. Yet, I would naturally say ' talking' just to avoid the double ' to' in the sentence.

    Maybe a native speaker will have a different view.

    Regards,

    Trams

    Thank you TRAMS

    But I would like to have the feeling of the native speakers

    And the different meanings

    Have a good day

    Hello!

    'It was a pleasure talking to you. Thank you for agreeing to take a look at my resume.'

    'It was a pleasure to talk with you" is correct and usable in written English.'

    Both sentences are right; it depends on you.

    I am sorry but I am not a native ...

    Bonjour
    On nous apprenait à l'époque.
    I like teaching. Sens général.
    I like to teach in good conditions. Choix intellectuel, idéal, cas particulier souhaitable.

    De même, it's been a pleasure talking to you est la formule la plus courante, la plus habituelle, l'infinitif est en effet plus réfléchi, plus du domaine de l'écrit. Je ressens que talking signifie simplement te parler alors que to talk signifie le choix de te parler, l'action de te parler, impression d'un non-natif cependant.
