Locate the gerund or gerund phrase and identify its noun function in the sentence.

English
1 answer:
Vsevolod [243]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

<em>Gerund or gerund phrase:  </em><em>thinking</em>

<em>Noun function: </em><em>subject</em>

Explanation:

Gerund is a type of verbal which means it is a verb with a different function. In case of a gerund, it functions as a noun.

Basically recognizing gerund in a sentence is easy, it always ends in -ing.

Though it should not be confused with present participle which also ends in  -ing. Present participle acts as an adjective and it is a part of verb forms (e.g. present simple continuous).

In this sentence <em>thinking</em> answers to the question<em> what</em> (what is hard work), so that`s why it is a subject.

Who taught her such things into passive voice​
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

By whom was she taught such things?

Explanation:

An active voice is when the subject performs the action/ verb whereas a passive voice is where the verb acts upon the subject. And the verbs are changed accordingly.

In the given sentence <em>"Who taught her such things?"</em>, the word "who" is the subject which is changed to "by whom". And since the verb "taught" is the second form and third form of the same verb "teach", there will be no change in it.

Therefore, the final sentence in passive voice will be

<em>By whom was she taught such things?</em>
