    The Sweetest Lesson I've ever seen that uses the most comfortable techniques to understand the theme of the topic rather easy to follow anyone who gets it.

    CONTINUOUS TENSES.
    (1) You have educated us,
    in/through your above video,
    that the word "LEARNING" is a Gerund in the
    Present continuous tense of
    "I am learning".
    - - - - -
    (2) I am learning English = English is being learnt by me.
    - - - - -
    (3) Please clarify whether the word Learning is a Gerund or a Present participle in
    "I am learning".

      I see your point Raman, nevertheless, these videos have not been made for English Linguists, but for general basic learners of English.... and asthe most experienced teachers always say: 'follow the KISS principle' (Keep It Simple...) 😉

    I would like to thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. In order to improve my english skills, I must study harder. Keep up the great work. You'd better make more videos taking about gerunds. So, that's it then. God bless your life.

      It is neither a gerund nor a participle. it is just a finite verb.

  • @ramanathreya4371
    @ramanathreya4371 2 роки тому +2

    " Now, I am playing CHESS".
    Is the word "PLAYING" a Present Participle or a Gerund, in the above sentence ? ? ?
    Please do clear our doubt.
    Active voice :
    Sita "is singing" a song ( Is the word "singing" a present participle / Gerund?
    Passsive voice:
    A song "is being sung" by Sita. (sung is the past participle of the verb, sing).

    When gerunds are used as the subject of a sentence they take the singular verb form of the verb, but when they are linked by and they take the plural. Can I have an example for this please?

    I think the use of gerund at number 4 is incorrect, verb+ing on continuous tense is not including gerund but continuous tense itself!

    • @EnglishwithLinguivers
      @EnglishwithLinguivers  2 роки тому +1

      That's right. If you want to be accurate, call it present participle. Nevertheless, it is still a verb+ing form and, unless you are a linguist, that name distinction is a big and unnecessary confusion for an English Learner. I always remind you guys to keep in mind who these lessons are made for 😉.

      @@EnglishwithLinguivers I'm from Asia, I studied English at one of the universities here. Some of the uses of gerunds that I have studied I have never found the use of gerunds like example number 4 above.
      If it's just terminology, the right word to use is "use of verb+ing" (progressive verb tense), not included in the part of "the use of the gerund". Because I think this can be confusing for both non-native English speakers and even native English speakers who are just learning English.
