[@ben-victor2420]

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.

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".

[@EnglishwithLinguivers]

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...) 😉

[@ramanathreya4371]

" 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).

[@EnglishwithLinguivers]

Great explanation Raman👍🏻. I feel your information is quite clear 😉

[@Nwa_sal7]

Hello, i really want to ask i have a question this question came from My student is this sentence right or wrong “I have been loving you ever since”

[@bramanathan3890]

Good explain

[@sajjadkhatak6774]

If you call Gerund in Continous Tense then what is Present Participle verb ?

[@EnglishwithLinguivers]

Gerund = Verb+ing Present Participle = Verb+ing Can you see my point? 🙃

[@sagjpokar3578]

Thanks a lot

[@noeliapatino8718]

YOU ARE AWESOME

[@ramanathreya4371]

ALL the example sentences under the situation No. 4 of your above video describing the Grammar of GERUND may kindly be deleated while including the same in the video of PARTICIPLE.

[@EnglishwithLinguivers]

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

[@imagine10x77]

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

[@andreagiraldomdphd.8376]

Dear Prof , I beg to differ about present continuous. Do let me say: "I'm working"!! Isn't "working" preset participle and not gerund ?Tthank you. A

[@EnglishwithLinguivers]

I see your point Andre, however, let's keep in mind that the main goal of these lessons is to simplify matters so that people can get the point easily and improve their English. I'm sure you can get what I mean 😉.

[@andreagiraldomdphd.8376]

[@ShiellaMarie-s7r]

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?

[@londoninsider8255]

beautiful and funny teacher

Times of verbs and grammar.

[@jeanscruggs6049]

Hmmm...i thought continuous tenses used participles, not gerunds.

[@EnglishwithLinguivers]

You can call them like that if you prefer Jean. The form is just the same anyway 😉.

[@СвятославЛукьяненко-х8т]

Exellent lesson, thank you.

[@selfdefense7741]

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]

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 😉.

[@selfdefense7741]

@@EnglishwithLinguivers I'm not a linguist, i'm a non native English speaker, i'm an English learner, i have been watching some videos and reading articles how to use gerund correctly, and i get a little confused from your example at number 4 above because as i know it's not called gerund but continuous tense itself.

[@EnglishwithLinguivers]

@@selfdefense7741 Definitely! Good point, present participle is what it should be call 😉. I trust you see though how confusing that change of terminology can be for a low-level learner 😊.

[@selfdefense7741]

@@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.
