What is a Gerund? How Can a Noun be Derived from a Verb?
zhlédnutí 2,9KPřed rokem
A gerund is a type of verbal that has the form of a verb but acts as a noun. In fact, because a gerund looks identical to the present participle some grammarians refer to it as the gerund-participle. This is because both the gerund and the present participle end in -ing and are formed from verbs. Let’s clarify: Some grammar sites will tell you that a participle can function as a noun and this i...

Mary suggested that Carlos work with her Mary suggested Carlos to work with her or Mary suggested Carlos work with her? If we drop "that" does the sentence remain unchanhed or do we have to add "to"?
That music blew me away!

1. I met the people *living there* . 2. I hate saleem speaking loudly in the class. 4. His going to sleep during wedding was disgraceful. 5. Do you mind me smoking? How can we differentiate the ing forms in these examples, whether they are gerunds or participles? Also How should we know which would be more suitable or correct. Only gerund or with possessive? 1 .I saw his smoking cigarette. I saw him smoking cigarette. 2. I hate Saleem's speaking loudly in the class. I hate Saleem speaking loudly in the class. 3. Do you mind my smoking? Do you mind me smoking? Please answer in details in your free time. This confusion bother me very much.

For instance, the colorful calico rockfish can survive for a little over a decade, while gthe rougheye rockfish boasts a maximum life span of about two centuries. (This is SAT question. Why is the comma (, while) preceded ?
Thanks for the video but when I was searching real past situations on the Net that wasn't what I was looking for. What I wonder is how we use if for cases that are likely to have happened in the past but we are not completely sure. For example suppose we don't know whether our friend passed the test the week before and how his mother's reaction was to the result, and we make guesses about it, like, " if he passed the test, his mother must have congratulated him." Is this usage correct?
can you call them copula verb instead

I have two questions. First, in the sentence, “ I’ll give you a call in the morning,” how can we know that the prepositional phrase is not modifying you or call? It seems like a rather large jump to have the referent and a prepositional phrase be “ give in the morning.” it seems so much more logical that the prepositional phrase would modify “call.” What am I not understanding here? Also, it does not seem fair that you are dispensing information so freely; consequently, how can we pay you for your services?… are you available as a personal tutor with proper compensation, of course?
English is a poor sinking speech and class ...
Hello! Ma'am. Kindly tell the word the prepositional phrase modifies in the below given sentence. 'Using GPS, we found our way to the hotel.'

Dear Ms. Lulu Shawn Hello, I would like to thank you for English Teaching Method. It is very interesting. I want to add a point in this lesson. For your information I should say that I have been learning English since I was 10 or 11 years old and after entering high school I went on learning at the Iran-America Cultural Society (11 years) prior to the change of regime in Iran. I taught English language at some Schools in Tehran 6 years before graduating from University in 1985. I have read many grammatical English books (books by Robert Dixon=I have reviewed by myself more than 30 times and taught this exercise book to my students). Now at this age, I have decided to gain my BA Degree and MA Degree in the field of English Language. All I mentioned above was to reach this main point that I encountered in this lesson In the causative sentences, I saw that you mentioned the tense of the second verb has no tense (If I understood correctly), but in my opinion the second and any other verbs coming after the first verb follow the tense of the first verb till it reach the full stop. Is it correct or not. I will be appreciative of your kind reply. My email address is as follow: jalalabar@gmail(yahoo).com Sincerely Yours Abar
