What are gerunds and participles?​

English
1 answer:
Scorpion4ik [409]3 years ago

Answer:

Gerunds, Infinitives, and Participles are all types of verbs. A gerund is a verb that ends with -ing (such as dancing, flying, etc.), that functions as a noun. An infinitive is a verb that is preceded by the word “to” (such as to run, to fly, to play, etc.). A participle also ends in -ing like a gerund, but it does not function as a noun. Instead, they form the progressive tense of a verb. They can sometimes function as an adjective, but not always.

Which sentence is an example of faulty coordination?
levacccp [35]

Answer:

d). Helen and Evan went to see the movie, and it was a very good movie.

Explanation:

The last sentence i.e. 'Helen and Evan...good movie' demonstrates faulty coordination as the second clause linked through the coordinating conjunction 'and' employs a wrong antecedent 'it.' <u>'It' is a singular pronoun which is incorrectly used to refer to the plural noun 'Helen and Evan</u>.' <u>Another error in the sentence is that the first clause talks about 'Helen and Evan' while the second clause abruptly shifts to the movie which puzzles the meaning of the sentence</u>. Hence, it is erroneous coordination and therefore, <u>option d</u> is the correct answer.
