<p>This is a question from those lil' SAT preparation booklet that they give out, and I was wondering if someone can explain the answer to me.</p>

<p>The famous filmmaker had a tendency of changing his recollections, perhaps out of boredom at having to tell interviewers the same story over and over. no error</p>

<p>The answer is of changing and I can kind of tell it sounds wrong...but not quite sure....? So why exactly is it wrong? And what would be the right words to put there?</p>

2

<p>It should be "to change"...but I'm not sure if I could tell you exactly why.</p>

3

<p>It should be an infinitive, because "a tendency" refers to a verb that is performed in general, and not at any specific time.</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure that's why, TBH I had no idea what an infinitive was until I took spanish.</p>

4

<p>I think it could be "to change" or "for changing", but I am not sure.</p>
