  1. It’ll be awkward [color=red]getting cars in and out.

  2. It’ll be awkward [color=red]to get cars in and out.

What is the difference between these two sentences?

Thanks

Hi Ruifeng
In my opinion, the second one is true because after awkward (adj) we can use to +verb which means it is difficult or cumbersome.

Thank you. But the truth is I got the first one from Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English, so I guess it also works.

There is no significant difference between these two sentences.
They’re like many of the examples we see on this site, where one puts a little more emphasis on the action of doing it than the other:

I like to walk. / I like walking.
Are you going to swim in the lake? Are you going swimming in the lake?

Thank you Beeesneees, for your explanation. It makes me clear. I got it and I hope Ruifeng gets it too.
Thanks in advance.
