I accidentally did all of chapter 10 for last class, so there’s not much I can add, other than repeating myself by saying that gerunds and participles are fairly simple. Participles look a bit more complicated then they are on the surface because the chapter goes over dangling participles, but that’s about it.

The rest of this was about gerunds and participles. Participles were no problem, but gerunds took a bit more reviewing. Neither is too difficult, they just take practice, especially if you haven’t dealt with them since high school like me. 

In the last girl post I read the whole chapter, and one thing that I did not understand in the chapter was gerunds. It states that a gerund always end in -ing and is always used as a noun. The thing that was not clear to me was how did gerunds act as a noun, because usually when a word ends with -ing it is a verb or a word showing some type of action.

The new material was how to diagram but the concepts of gerunds and participles were familiar.
