Qual é a diferença entre a gerund e past participle e present participle ?Podes indicar apenas respostas exemplo.

(a gerund always ends with -ing, but you have to be careful because not all -ing words are gerunds) a gerund is a verb acting as a noun. instead of a subject being affected by the verb, a gerund is when the verb (acting as a noun) is the direct object or subject of a verb. for example: Since he was young, swimming has been his passion. it is a gerund because the word swimming, which is normally a verb, is the subject of the verb "has been". a present participle would be "last summer, he was swimming with his friends in Daytona Beach". "swimming" is the present participle completing the past progressive verb "was swimming". a past participle is the same, except the verb is past tense, "Last summer, he swam in Daytona Beach". the present tense is swimming, so for a past participle is was changed to "swam". hope this helped a little!
