'having entered' vs 'to have entered' Wed Jul 11, 2007 7:03 am  'having entered' vs 'to have entered'
 

Hi,guys

They lost all their money and jewelry. The thief was believed ____ through an unlocked window.

(A)to be entering (B)having entered (C)to have entered (D)entering

The answer is (C).

I am thinking may I choose (B)?

Could you explain what's the diffrence between 'having entered' and 'to have entered' here?

Thanks in advance.

Maggie Rolling Eyes

Sorry, Maggie-- B is no good. 'Believe' + -ing verb form does not work in English.
