Answer 2

Answer:

The parcels I just brought into the house are lying on the table.

Step-by-step explanation:

Learning to correctly use the "-ing," infinitive ("to" + base form of the verb), and past participle verb forms (in regular verbs, this is formed by adding "-ed" to the end of the verb) can be difficult. When do you use "finishing" instead of "to finish" or "finished"? This page's information can be useful.

Look up the word in an online dictionary like Merriam Webster or use a corpus like The Corpus of Contemporary American English to find out when to use a "-ing," an infinitive, or a past participle. Although some rules must be followed, others must simply be memorised.
