Dave, I am happy you brought up this important and not so easy subject in a set of videos. It can determine a better understanding and a better writing for those who want and/or need to master English.
Hello, teacher! Hello, guys! That's Agapi from Greece! I enjoyed the lesson a lot because of your teaching, Dave! The teaching was understandable, sufficient and very helpful!!! Thank you a lot! Have a great new week! Cheers...
Luckily, I used to like the grammar so I understand your meticulous explanation. I used to be good at math and I think who likes math likes the grammar too. For me the grammar was easy and I have never understood why it was difficult for children. Unfortunately, I am not good at pronunciation, I got used your tempo and your pronunciation but the last weeks I was very busy with my grandchildren and this is the third lesson which I listen and now I can understand your pronunciation. It's true: " Practice makes perfect."
fantastic lesson Dave.I am from Argentina andI am studying at Inglesh university to become a teachr of Inglish and there we are seeing those kind of things.very clear lesson man
Great lesson. I have been trying to learn German verb structure with genetive, dative etc. cases and figured I needed a review English grammar before I proceeded too much further. Thank you.
Well explained sir and Thank you very much. If the difference is shown between participle and gerund in the same sentence,we understand easily. Smoking cigarettes is dangerous.. gerund. Okay we understand. Please explain: How 'smoking cigarettes are dangerous...' participle
Thanks very much for another fantastic video. Your level is very high when it comes to explain English and that's what I really appreciate about your RUclips channel. ;-)
Please kindly help me on the following sentences 1) She likes kissing the dog. ( Is "Kissing" in this case a Gerund?) 2) I did badly for my sewing skills. (Is "sewing" in this case a Gerund?) Thank you!
Dear Prof what do you think about my homework? His passion is fishing ( fishing = noun = gerund). His passion is amusing (amusing = Adjective = Present Participle). Education is enlightening ( enlightening = Adjective = Present Participle ). Are those correct? I’m very much obliged. A
After a linking verb (is, am, are, were or was) you don't use the words adjective or noun anymore instead use predicate nominative (PN) or predicate adjective (PA). Fishing is PN, Amazing is PA, Enlightening is PA. they are called Subject Complements
one citizen after another,from, an audience of more than 700, tried to convince the immigration minister it was a poor decision,drawing on the impact on property values,tourism and local's safety. PLEASE EXPLAIN ME SIR,DRAWING, IS A PARTICIPLE OR GERUND.
Excuse me, but doesn't the same rule regarding using possessive applies on the first example as well ? I mean if we should use " I don't like Sara's singing " then we should also say " I saw the Russian's writing " because you can't say " The Russian writing was seen ". ( I assume that you meant The Russian = 1 Russian man )
What rule??!!???!?? I like Sarah's singing and I like Sarah singing are BOTH correct (but mean different things). I don't know why you think one is right and one is wrong.
@@MrSkypelessons The rule that you were referring from Fowler's book " the Kings English". I didn't ask about Sara's sentence, but the first example which is " I saw the Russian writing ". So according to Mr. Fowler we should say " I saw the Russian's writing" and not " I saw the Russian writing" because you can't say " The Russian writing was seen .." that isn't incorrect but it would change the meaning of sentence.
@@medolove3697 I saw the Russian writing = correct (and writing = participle). I saw the Russian's writing = correct (and writing = gerund). Yes, according to Fowler, this is what we should say. However, this is NOT what we actually do say in reality. In reality, we break the possessive rule for gerunds all the time.
@@MrSkypelessons I fully understand that, thank you very much best teacher and congrats to you as brit for getting rid of the EU. You seemed to be very angry with EU in your recent live stream 😂 😂 😂
@@medolove3697 Thanks, I misunderstood your point at first, but yes, you are right: Fowler (rightly) points out that the gerund should take the possessive form, but in reality, very few natives do this (although it was more common in the distant past). I am angry with ANY organization that cheats my students out of their hard-earned money!
it must be written like that -your friends needs the help(Noun) carrying(Participle/Adjective) some(Determiner) bag(object- noun) into your(possessive adjective) flat(preposition object)
I don't think so. The non-action verbs such as know for example can't be transformed into participle form "knowing". I think only actions verb can take the participle form.
The sentence "His reading was the best in the class" indicates that "reading" is a gerund that acts like a noun. Therefore, can we write "A reading..." or "The reading..." for other sentences?
@@MrSkypelessons You are a true anus. I will return to your channel, not to see your incompetence and amateur videos, but to leave scathing comments about you.
@@guyrabinowitz Please, be my guest. I think this is probably what you have been programmed to do, so I doubt that ''you'' have any choice in the matter.
hilariously confusing. right around the time the West was moving from a 'things based economy' to a 'services based economy', and the politics was shifting from right to left, the advent of 'theories of English', where Ph.Ds and Masters of English emerge, and language concepts as the 'participle' and 'gerund' are invented - and promoted. why not use something far more descriptive, simplistic and orderly? - 2nd noun. 2nd verb. 2nd order noun. 2nd order verb. etc. 'gerund' and 'participle' should be considered obsolete, and ordered into the trash-bin of history. have you ever in all your life heard those words until recently? - just shows how utterly useless those words have become.

Oh, thank you much for covering that "your-you" thing! I've always thought that the possessive is the right one, but still have had some doubt.

This RUclipsr is a sociopath. Don't be misled into seeing any redeeming qualities in him.
Is Flower 'The King English '1908 an excellent book???
Sir reply kindly.
Rina Mevada yes it is
All books give knowledge
Thanks a ton ! You used the same sentence to explain it so it was easy to understand.
Great lesson. I have been trying to learn German verb structure with genetive, dative etc. cases and figured I needed a review English grammar before I proceeded too much further. Thank you.
You have a bright future in teaching! God bless you.
I don’t see a bright future; I see a future of vaccine fascism, blood clots, hyperinflation, and civil war.
Dear Prof,
In which shop could I purchase that book mentioned? There isn't on the internet shop ? What are you bringing forward ? Thank you kindly. A

Thank you for the lesson, the only confusing thing is which syllable in the word "participle" is stressed? I hear 1st or 2nd, or both are correct?
Very good explanation. Thank you very much!
Great examples and explanation. Thanks so much!
Good class and everybody is waiting for more videos about común mistake please 😎
Thank you very much sir.. Your lectures are as superb as always.. Please keep us teaching...

Thank you teacher. I have watched all your videos.
Hi!
And what about the differentiation between the gerund and the verbal noun?
I am from Azerbaijan and it's difficult choose participle 1, participle 2 ,gerund for me. Thanks for clear teaching......
You used my favorite word when teaching my students. Brilliant class!

Dear Prof what do you think about my homework?
His passion is fishing ( fishing = noun = gerund).
His passion is amusing (amusing = Adjective = Present Participle).
Education is enlightening ( enlightening = Adjective = Present Participle ).
Are those correct?

Thanks for making this Video Sir
Content is very helpful..
Thank you for the video, this subject is really confusing and now I have a question If I read the first sentence how can I Kwon
thanks a lot i really appreciate your efforts , such a great teacher you are !
Oh sorry, I sent the comment without finishing it. How can I know if it is the A or B meaning?
Thank you so much, your explanation is so clear!

your friend needs help carrying some bags into your flat.
Is The verb " help" followed by gerund or why we used carrying here
it must be written like that -your friends needs the help(Noun) carrying(Participle/Adjective) some(Determiner) bag(object- noun) into your(possessive adjective) flat(preposition object)
Can any verb become a participle in English?
Yes
I don't think so. The non-action verbs such as know for example can't be transformed into participle form "knowing". I think only actions verb can take the participle form.
I like Russian's writing.
I like Russian writing.
Can it be understood this way?
thanks great amazing as usual
Good explanation of a complicated subject, thanks!
Thanks a lot
Well done
The sentence "His reading was the best in the class" indicates that "reading" is a gerund that acts like a noun. Therefore, can we write "A reading..." or "The reading..." for other sentences?

It will be more clear
No, it won't. Hope is a great deceiver.
