Gerunds and present participles are both derived from verbs and share the same form (the -ing form), but they serve different grammatical functions in sentences. Here’s a breakdown of their differences: 1. Gerund: Function: A gerund acts as a noun in a sentence. It can function as a subject, object, or complement. Examples: Swimming is my favorite activity. (subject) I enjoy reading. (object) Her hobby is cooking. (complement) 2. Present Participle: Function: A present participle acts as an adjective or forms part of a continuous verb tense. It describes a noun or pronoun or helps to create progressive tenses. Examples: The running water is cold. (adjective) She is studying for her exam. (part of the verb phrase in the present continuous tense) Summary: Gerund: Acts as a noun (e.g., "Swimming is fun."). Present Participle: Acts as an adjective or part of a verb tense (e.g., "The swimming pool is large." or "She is swimming."). Understanding the difference between gerunds and present participles helps in constructing sentences accurately and using verb forms effectively.
I live in a place where English is the native language, I don't have any English friends where I work, nor do I have any outside. I can't go to a course for English because the living conditions are very expensive and time is a big problem. I saw your website today. and this issue is still difficult for me. I want to say that your teaching was excellent, thank you very much for your effort.
Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad to help. If you want to find out the best ways to improve alone and for free, here's a video I made recently. I hope it helps! ua-cam.com/video/KdpvVVfHGjY/v-deo.html
You are the best teacher I've ever met. Please make video continuously. I really appreciate your efforts to people who study English. You inspires me to study English easy way.❤❤
Really great job. It's clear. Understandable. Very well thoughtout and not confusing at all because you decided to leave out explaining rules and formulas or tenses first
Hi, I just wonder why you can explain the meanings so well and also know what the key point is for us to understand and what the major questions are during the learning journey of ours? You are extremely amazing.
Good question! 😅 I've been an English teacher in many countries for a long time. I guess that helps me understand exactly what people need to focus on. Thanks for being such a great student!
