When to Use Fixed or Variable Verb Nexuses
from spark Magazine
The choice of whether to use a fixed or variable verb nexus depends on the specific relationship that you are trying to express. If the relationship is very specific, such as "reminds me of," then you should use a fixed verb nexus. However, if the relationship is more general, such as "think about," then you can use a variable verb nexus.
