Hello!
A word's denotation is the literal definition of a word. There is often only one or two literal definitions of a word in the dictionary.
A word's connotation can have several different meanings, depending on the person who uses the word. The connotative meaning includes the ideas, images, and feelings associated with the word, which can differ depending on people's different feelings and ideas toward it.
The study of the origin of a word is known as "etymology," which also explains how the words have changed over time.
I hope this helps you!

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.
