How would you describe the difference between gerunds and verbs in a continuous tense to an inquisitive student?

This student may be confused about the difference between gerunds and verbs in a continuous sense (also known as participles) because they look the same - both of these forms have a verb + -ing as their suffix, which means they have the same form.
However, the most important difference is that a gerund is basically a noun - even though it has the same form as a verb, in a sentence it would behave as a noun.
For example: Swimming is fun. (the word swimming is a gerund)
He is swimming at the moment. (the word swimming is a verb/participle)

Hopefully now you can see the difference - it has to do with their grammatical function in a sentence.

postnew [5]

Answer:

Choice C. "Last week, construction workers began building a new fire station around the corner."

Choice E. "Sometime last summer, the fruit stand down the street was replaced with a car wash."

Explanation:

In option C and E, we notice phrases addressing specific place of the subject/action and they are; "around the corner" and "stand down the street," respectively. However, we also notice another expression-"over there"- in point D, but it happens to be vague. Therefore, it cannot be considered.
