Thank you!!
No estoy seguro de que estuviera dada la razón por la que se usa la perífrasis de gerundio en nº 10. Tiene que ver con la naturaleza progresiva del verbo "continuar". De la misma manera, se usa «seguir + gerundio» y no «seguir + infinitivo». Para leer más acerca de esto, véase el Manual de la Nueva gramática de la lengua española (§ 28.4, 28.4.3d).
