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.

What do you want to happen on robots that do human work?
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

Technology is playing a pivotal role in helping humans work more effectively. Imagine a robot doing some of the major tasks of managers like using data to evaluate. For example, if you run an essay writing service, you can use robots to humans, so at the end of the day you may not always achieve the desired ROI. 4.

Use better wordplay, instead of "I think" say "I truly believe" or just take what your subject is, and devote passion toward it and really think about this subject. For example a rose, a beautiful flower, but also a symbol of love, elegance, and beauty!
