@CK

>He hesitated before answering.
Is the sentence has the same meaning of "He hesitated to answer"?
I wonder if I could add "答えるのをためらった" as an alternative.

He hesitated to answer.
- This means something like he didn't really want to answer.
He hesitated before answering.
- This means he paused, or took some time first.
