Answer:
Dear mum,
It's been so long, and my feet are tired. These filthy rebellious pigs think they can win their independence, and I find that rather hilarious. Their tactics are unorthodox and these battles get very messy. Oh dear, this war is absolutely horrid, I long for some freshly brewed tea. These inexperienced marksmen taking part of such a pitiful militia have to stand in the kings way along with these savages they teamed up with, absolutely distasteful. Me and my brothers shall advance and restore order for Great Britain.
Love,
Tom
Answer:
Type of Verbal: Gerund phrase
Verbal Phrase: Crossing the street on a red light
Explanation:
A gerund phrase is a verbal phrase that consists of a gerund (which it's made up of the verb root of a verb + -<em>ing</em>) and modifiers of that object, and sometimes, it also includes objects. The primary function of this type of phrases is to act as a noun, therefore they can be subjects, objects or complements.
In the sentence, "Crossing the street on a red light" is the gerund phrase because it has a gerund (Crossing), an object (the street) and modifiers ( on a red light). Furthermore, it is also the subject of the sentence because it is what's being described.
