Hi Mr Alan!
(a) It was really nice seeing you again after almost two years.
(b) It was really nice to see you again after almost two years.
I have two questions:
1) Can we consider (more or less) (a) more informal and (b) more formal?
2) Is there any significant difference in meaning?
Thanks,
Rustamsher

Re: Infinitive vs. Gerund after adjectives
Both are acceptable, but (a) is slightly less formal.
