Does the following sentence contain a gerund? Walking to the store, Allison saw her teacher.

English

Answer:

No, this sentence does not contain a gerund.

Explanation:

Gerund and participles look the same, although their function is different. Gerunds function as nouns in a sentence, whereas participles function as adverbs.

If the sentence said - "Allison likes walking", then the word walking would be a gerund (you can ask the question, what does she like?)

In this sentence, the participle walking can be rewritten as "while she was walking to the store," which has the adverbial function of time, and therefore can only be a participle, but never gerund.

Gerunds can be replaced by a noun, whereas participles only with an adverb/clause.

Answer:

Hey can you tell me what exactly you are writing about? The main idea, the characters (If you want to add any) and what you want me to write about?

Explanation:

I'm scared of you getting a bad grade because your teacher finds out I wrote this, so here are ideas.

One:

Vivonne betrays Rigoberto and steals the diamond. but Rigoberto gets revenge

two:

They get caught and they have escape prision

Three:

The diamond was fake! (or whatever it is lol)

Four:

they were just acting in a movie

Hopefully, this helps!

Also

maybe try to listen to music, or eat a snack.

(Example of work:

Yes! We stole it, Vivonne may you hold in, I need to hide the fingerprints I left inside the safe.

Rigoberto starts dusting off the fingerprints, but him having no idea that Vivonne stole the diamond and left him! He tries to hurry up, but because of this he causes the alarm to go off, red lights, loud noises, he had to run! Before he could even escape the police were already there. Rigoberto gets inside the car and off to jail, he went. He was mad, furious, he wanted revenge.

Within time he starts planning an escape, finally, the day has come of his great idea of escaping. It was a success! He went to go find Vivonne.

HA! I FOUND YOU! I KNEW YOU WOULD BE HERE! Before he countied to talk he finds her tied up and dead...
