Please give us one-two examples (and a few specific prepositions) which gerund functions as an adverbial modifier of condition vs. attendant circumstances. I thank you very much!
'To write by using' contains Participle I, 'to write by using' contains a gerund. Basically, in your sentence they have the same function, express the same idea.
Kindly enlighten me on the sentence in the topic Gerund under the sub heading tense distinction and voice distinction.The sentence runs,"Thank you for having landed me your car".
Thanks a lot for your videos ! I saw you going to the concert. I saw your going to the concert . I don't like you going out alone. I don't like your going out alone. Are all the above sentences correct ? If yes, are they different in meaning ? If not, why ? You going vs your going
The correct sentences are 'I saw you going to the concert' and 'I don't like your going out alone'. The -ing-forms are two different phenomena in these sentences. In the first sentences, 'going' is a participle (I saw you doing what?), and in the second one it's a gerund (I don't like what?). As gerunds function as nouns, we must use possessive pronouns in front of them. The meaning of the first sentence is, "I saw that you were going to the concert, I witnessed it." The second sentence means, "I dislike the fact that you go out alone".
1. Eating an apple daily keeps you healthy 2. His Eating an apple daily kept him healthy. 3. His friend's winning the contest made me happy. 4. His coming made me happy. In the internet i read an article where it was written that if verbing takes an object and/or an adverb, it cannot be modified by an article or adjective. Howerver, if verbing has no object/adverb , it can have an article/adjective in front of it. According to the article senteces 2 and 3 are wrong. I would like to know your point of view on the same, please.
I presume that by 'verbing' you mean a gerund, am I right? The word 'daily' is misplaced in sentence 2. It would be better to say, 'His daily eating of an apple kept him healthy' or to use the first sentence instead. Sentence 3 is OK.
Simplicity in complexity, attention to details...
