    The reform is entitling more families to housing support this year.

    Entitling the report clearly helped readers locate the right section.

    Note

    One spelling does two jobs: the progressive verb after be, and the gerund that stands where a noun would (entitling the report helped). Behind it sit two different meanings of entitle. When it confers a right, it takes a person and then to: entitling them to support, entitling her to vote. When it names a book, film or play, it takes the work and the title itself, with no to.
