A Gerund/ Gerund Phrase is a verb form that acts like a noun and ALWAYS ends in -ing.   Hint:  Replace the gerund with "this thing," or, "that thing" to test your answer.

A participle / participle phrase is a verb that functions in a sentence as an adjective. It described nouns and pronouns.  
Present -> ends in -ing
Past ->    ends in - ed
Irregular -> various endings

Infinitive / infinitive phrases is a verb form preceded by the word "to" 

Don't confuse with the preposition "to"   
  
                              Infinitive = to + verb 
                             Preposition = to + noun or pronoun
sometimes the "to" is dropped. 

I hope this helped. Of course, this is the 11th-grade versions of English. Also, if you have any other questions let me know :)

How would I construct a research question on "Chinese immigration"?
julsineya [31]

Talk about how many have come through the years.

For example: Many immigrants have entered (whatever country, I'd assume America but you can fill in the blamk) but by far the most that have entered would be (number here) and (this percent) have stayed and.....

And if not that, maybe talk about how their cultures have affected the world or another country because of immigration. I hope that helps!
