Select all of the sentences that do not have a gerund.
Pavlova-9 [17]
A gerund is a noun that is made when you add -ing to a verb.

So "She was dancing with her best friend" does not have a gerund, since "dancing" is part of the verb phrase "was dancing." Same goes for "After school gets out, I will be swimming," since "will be swimming" is a verb phrase.

Read the sentence. Alberto hates tomatoes yet adores spaghetti. What is the function of the word yet in the sentence? adverb con
Verizon [17]

Answer:

Conjunction.

Explanation:

Conjunctions are those words that are used as joining words. They can be used to act as the mediator or adhesive to put two or more sentences together.

Words such as "yet" are used as conjunctions when they join words. The use of "yet" in a sentence provides a contrasting opinion/side of what had just been stated. But it can also be use as an adverb in a sentence. As adverbs, they give a negative connotation and talks of what is yet to happen or if it's true but that will turn or happen for sure in the future. But 'yet' is used  at the end of the sentence if they are to be used as an adverb.

In the sentence "Alberto hates tomatoes <em><u>yet </u></em>adores spaghetti", the 'yet' here is used as a joining word. It joins the two sets of phrases or independent clause 'Alberto hates tomatoes' and his other quality that he 'adores spaghetti'.
