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.

Why is the cake important in
Mila [183]

Answer

The food supply was running low for the inhabitants of the secret annex and the new year just begun.

The significance of the cake was important because it was the first day of the year January 1st, 1944.

Another significant thing was the people in the annex were low on food supplies.

The hunger was so severe that Mr Van Daal was caught in the act of stealing and Mrs Van Daal was prepared to sell her precious fur coat in order to get food.

It revealed certain things about the characters as it showed a level of distrust, anger and disappointment.

Mrs Frank was asked to cut the cake because Mr Frank was not trusted enough to share the cake equally because of his previous attempt at theft.

Mrs Frank was extremely pleased to see a cake and she did not fail to say how excited she was.
