B. Dillon does not like writing letters.
D. After school gets out, I will be swimming most of the summer.
F. Come meet me at the swimming pool.

A gerund is mostly at the beginning of a sentence and states a noun. So always look for the noun of the sentence.

Answer:

The sentences that do not have a gerund are:

C. She was dancing with her best friend.

D. After school gets out, I will be swimming most of the summer.

Explanation:

A <u>gerund</u> is a verb ending in<em> -ing</em> that functions as a noun. Because a <u>gerund</u> acts like a noun, it can be a subject complement -like sentence A-, an object -like sentence B-, a subject -like sentence E- or part of a compound noun -like sentence F.

In sentences C and D, the verbs with <em>-ing</em> are acting as main verbs rather than as nouns.

What is the formula for inference?
AVprozaik [17]
The formula for inference is simply “text + background knowledge = inference”. This formula gives individuals a guide to help them use what they know and the text evidence to make a inference. Furthermore, it could lead to incorporate accountable talks as well as their background knowledge and text evidence to make a “logical” inference. However, if one is missing the background knowledge, he/she will not be able to make an inference even with the inference formula.
