    Hi,In the part 3:35, "Her favourite pastime is watching movies."
    I can also say "Her favourite pastime is to watch movies."
    In the part 3:40, "Their goal is to double profits by the end of the year."
    I can also say"Their goal is doubling profits......"
    Am I right?

    Hello ,teacher ,i feel a little confused about why participle or participle phrase can be used as a object complement when saw this sentence "the crowd saw the president moving close" in the moment of 5.53 of this video . the phrase" moving close " is not a gerund? I am so appreciated if i can get your reply . thank you .

    • @WritingBetter
      @WritingBetter  2 місяці тому

      From Grammarly.com
      A present participle phrase is a participial phrase that uses the present participle of a verb, the -ing form. A present participle phrase is used to describe an action the noun is currently doing, including ongoing or permanent actions.
      Our parents found us walking the dog at midnight.
      In this participial phrase example, walking is the present participle of walk. The entire present participle phrase “walking the dog at midnight” modifies the pronoun us, describing what they were doing when their parents found them.
      I hope this helps.

    Could you please give me some example sentences for the pattern 'Subject+Verb+Object+Subject complement'?

    • @WritingBetter
      @WritingBetter  4 місяці тому

      Do you mean: SVOC (Subject/verb/object/ complement)?
      Here are a few examples of that pattern.
      They made him captain.
      He got his feet wet.
      She painted the cabinets blue.

      @@WritingBetter Thank you for the reply, ma'am.
      By the way, I didn't ask for an SVOC pattern but for an S+V+O+SC.
      I've recently come to know that the complement that follows the object can be either an object complement or a subject complement.
      Eg: He played the game fearless.
      Here, the word 'fearless' describes the state of the subject 'he', so it's the subject complement here. This was very new to me. So, I want(ed) to know more about this pattern.

    • @WritingBetter
      @WritingBetter  4 місяці тому

      A subject complement follows a linking verb. The word “play” in this sentence is not a linking verb.
      Fearless (or more accurately, fearlessly) used in this sentence is an adverb describing how he played.
      I don’t believe this can be said to be a subject complement.
      I hope this helps.

    what is the difference between state verb and linking verb? To be verb is both a state and a linking?

    • @WritingBetter
      @WritingBetter  3 місяці тому

      State verbs (state of being verbs) are always linking verbs.
      However, other verbs can also be linking verbs.
      Common linking verbs are the forms of the verb to be; verbs relating to the five senses (smells, tastes, feels, sounds, looks); and the verbs become, appear, and seem.
      I hope this helps.

      @Misbahvocabgrammar 3 місяці тому

      Linking verbs connect the subject with additional information describing the subjects state, condition or relationship.. example
      Be ..seem .. become ,appear etc
      ...state verbs are a subset of linking verbs that describes a state of being or condition without indicating action.. example..be , exist, belong,remain...

    Hi mam i saw your video on gerund in this video you told the nominative properties of gerund andu you gave exampls but i have a doubt on one example i.e
    "His leaving without saying good-bye was rude & disrespectful."
    My doubt is his leaving is gerund thats ok
    But "without saying good bye" in this "saying" is it "gerund" or "present participle " as English rule before a noun we have an adjective but here saying is noun & good bye is also noun and "without" is preposition after preposition we should have object. Here what is object of the preposition "saying" or " good bye" pls explain TQ 🙏

    • @WritingBetter
      @WritingBetter  6 місяців тому

      Thanks for your question.
      The basic sentence here is:
      His leaving (without saying goodbye) was rude and disrespectful.
      "His leaving" is the subject, so the word "leaving" is not used as a verb here.
      In this example the gerund phrase "saying goodbye" is the object of the preposition "without".
      Here is another similar example:
      Studying a new language is difficult without practicing daily.
      "practicing daily" is the gerund phrase and is the object of the preposition "without".
      I hope this helps.

    @WritingBetter Mam please answer this question
    1. Choose the correct combined sentence.
    There was a heavy traffic. I could not reach the office in time.
    A) Inspite of heavy traffic I could reach the office in time.
    B) Inspite of heavy traffic I did not reach the office in time.
    C) I reach the office in time despite the heavy traffic.
    D) Inspite of heavy traffic I can reach the office in time.

    • @WritingBetter
      @WritingBetter  6 місяців тому

      Due to the heavy traffic, I could not reach the office in time.
      “In spite of” means even though something was true, you were able to do something. “Despite the” would also mean the same.

      With the information given to combine into one sentence, none of the 4 answers would be correct.
      If the given information was:
      There was heavy traffic. I "could" reach the office in time.
      Then, (A) would be correct.
      "In spite of heavy traffic, I could reach the office in time."
      ("In spite of heavy traffic, I was able to reach the office in time." would be better.)
