Hi, Please tell me difference between grant and granting. For Example: Please therefore be kind enough to grant me a leave from ---- to --- (OR) Please therefor be kind enough to granting me a leave from -------- to-------

Hi swami,

I'm not happy with this one:

Quote:

Please therefore be kind enough to granting me a leave from -------- to

That does require an infinitive form after the adjective: kind enough to grant ..

You could use the ing form after a noun phrase as in:

Please therefore be kind enough to see your way to granting ...
