Seguir + infinitivo?
I know you can use "seguir + gerund" to indicate an action in the present that is continuous (much like estar + gerund), but can you follow seguir with an infinitive? Obviously there is a slight difference in meaning given by the tense (as there is a difference between the Present and the Present Continuous), but is it still grammatically correct to use it?
Eg;
Sigo viendo... (I continue watching...)
VS
Sigo ver... (I continue to watch...)
Thanks

Seguir + gerundio is common and makes a kind of progressive tense but I don't think that seguir + infinitive works.
Seguir + sin + infinitive does and means something along the lines of "to still be without." or 'to still not be'
