'Take turns to do something' vs 'Take turns doing something' #1 (permalink) Mon Apr 14, 2008 7:18 am   'Take turns to do something' vs 'Take turns doing something'
 

Can you tell me the difference between ''take turns to do something'' and ''take turns doing something'' because when I looked it up in Longman dictionary online,it is both ''take turns to..'' and ''take turns doing...''.But when looking it up at Cambridge Dictionary,it is only ''take turns to do...''
Please help me as soon as possible.
Many thanks
