Porque WHEN é uma preposição, e após preposições como when, while, of, by, for, etc, usa-se o verbo no gerúndio (ING). O sentido do verbo permanece no infinitivo:
Jack stopped when sppoting it;
He is scared of swimming in the sea.
Jack stopped when sppoting it;
He is scared of swimming in the sea.
Sério? Não sabia que when era preposição. Mas das WH questions só when é preposition né?
