But idiomatically, the first version is valid in a broader range of contexts, so you might prefer to learn that one. For example, Eating beans makes me fart might be a bit coarse, but I bet it's been said millions of times. On the other hand, no native speaker would be likely to say To eat beans makes me fart. | |
