Complete the sentences with the correct form of the verbs given in brackets (using gerund or infinitive). Write 1-2 words in each gap. Stop ______ so annoying! I can't stand it any longer. (to be)

Solution:

The sentence requires the gerund form of the verb 'to be' because 'stop' is followed by a gerund when it means to cease an action. In this case, the action being stopped is the annoyance.

The gerund form of 'to be' is 'being'.

The complete sentence is: Stop being so annoying! I can't stand it any longer.
