One of the most important decisions for most people experiencing relocation for work is whether to purchase a home immediately.


I wonder which "experiencing" supports for.

According to manhattan SC, it is better when we say for most people who experience..

Some one can help me clear this

Not sure what you are asking buddy! Can you clarify!

In terms of the sentence, experiencing is an infinitive. its better to use the word experience in something like this.

Yes I am sorry. I meant experiencing = progressive. Infinitive would be "experience".

Someone here told me progressive = infinitive, so all this time thats what I thought.

Thanks to uhusky all is good now!
