如果It doesn’t matter后接动词,这个动词是用不定式to do sth还是动名词doing sth?比如下面一题,是选动名词staying还是不定式to stay:
It doesn’t matter _______ up late occasionally.
A. staying
B. to stay
陈老师:
同意黎老师的看法,It doesn’t matter后接动词通常用动名词。我也查到两个相关例句:
It doesn’t matter throwing that away. (张道真《现代英语用法词典》it词条)
It doesn’t matter wasting a little money. 浪费一点钱没有关系。(《张道真英语语法》第510页)

It doesn’t matter _______ up late occasionally.
A. staying
B. to stay
又如:It doesn't matter hurting myself a little bit . 我受点伤,不要紧。(摘自席玉虎主编:《英语常用词用法详解大词典》p.1992)
