I have read the following links and have a question similar to them:
All we seem to do is argue or is arguing
“All you have to do is read” vs. “All you have to do is to read”
"What I have to do is" + verb inf
What form of verb should expressions like "All I want to do is" be followed by?
Based on these links, I suppose the sentence:
- "All I do lately is listen to music".
is right, and the sentence:
- All I do lately is listening to music.
is wrong.
But what about these:
- "All I am doing lately is listen to music".
- "All I am doing lately is listening to music".
Does the present continuous form of the verb ("doing") makes the phrase coming after "is" to be a gerund?
Maybe the original form of this sentence is
- "All I am doing lately is [I am] listening to music".
Where [I am] is omitted so it is reasonable that the present continuous form of the verb ("doing") propagates to the phrase after "is".
What ever the answer is, can I generalize the answer to all the following expressions?
- What I am doing lately is study/studying.
- The work that I am doing lately is draw/drawing a picture.
- The dream that I am thinking about is go/going to a trip.
