Help(please) Hi, everyone In a video, a woman said: "Women have been more vocal about sexual assault. If you are feeling uncomfortable, don't be afraid to offend someone else, whether that be cross the street, avert gaze, or don't get into the elevator". I'd like to know why she used "whether that be cross the street, avert gaze, or don't get into the elevator". Why not "whether that be crossing the street, averting a gaze or not getting into the elevator"? Why not the gerund? Thank you
