Answer 1

Answer:

1. The "-ing" form is used in progressive verb tenses with auxiliary verbs (helping verbs). These are in active voice. Here are some examples:

I am doing my homework.I have been writing all day.I was writing when the pizza arrived.

 

2. The "-ing" form can function as a noun. These nouns are called gerunds and can be the subject of a clause, followed by a third-person singular (he/she/it) form of the verb. The gerund in the following sample sentences is bolded, and the verb is italicized:

Writing is an important skill.Hiking is one of my favorite activities.Reading before bed helps me fall asleep.

 

3. The "-ing" noun (or gerund) can be the direct object of certain verbs. Some verbs that are followed by a gerund are the following:

AdmitAvoidConsiderDenyDiscussPracticeRecallSuggest

The verb in the following sample sentences is italicized, and the gerund is bolded:

He often avoids answering his phone.I considered conducting semistructured interviews.She suggested taking notes.

 

4. The "-ing" form is used after a preposition. The preposition in the following example sentences is italicized, and the "–ing" is bolded:

Before conducting the research, it is necessary to complete a literature review.Her experience in interviewing will be beneficial.He is bad at remembering appointments. They complained about driving in rush hour.

 

5. Adjectives are sometimes formed using "-ing". The "-ing" in the following example sentences is bolded:

I read an interesting book.The barking dog was annoying.

 

6. The "-ing" form is sometimes used to include additional information in a sentence in a reduced relative clause. The "-ing" in the following example sentences is bolded, and the full relative clause is italicized:

The woman wearing a dress is sitting by the window. (The woman who is wearing a dress is sitting by the window.)The pens sitting on the desk belong to the teacher. (The pens that are sitting on the desk belong to the teacher.)
