    Participle / gerund
    Message from khaiminh posted on 03-10-2014 at 17:40:06 (D | E | F)
    hello,

    After some verbs such as "go, come...", we use the -ing form of verbs. But no-one indicates whether that -ing form of verb is participle or gerund. Some people say that it's participle, and "go, come" are used as auxiliary-like function.
    Please explain which is which.
    Many thanks.

    Hello Khaiminh,
    I fail to understand how it matters, whether we call it participle or gerund. In English it's one and the same thing, for all practical purposes.
    Best regards.
