(Is #2 un grammatical?)

4. He proposed going to the movies.
5. He suggested to go to the movies.
6. He suggested going to the movies.
(Which ones are ungrammatical among #3 and #6?)

Answer 1

Yes, 2 is incorrect. #1 has parallel construction (reading, listening), but #2 doesn't (reading, to listen).

I'd use 4 and 6. I wouldn't use 3 or 5.
