    The document discusses the difference between present participles and gerunds. A present participle uses the -ing form of a verb as an adjective, while a gerund uses the -ing form as a noun. A gerund can act as the subject, direct object, or object of a preposition in a sentence. It can also be modified by a possessive noun, such as "Jim's swimming." Examples are provided to illustrate the differences between present participles and gerunds in sentences.

    The present participle is the -ing form of a verb used as an adjective: running shoes; breaking story; losing game;

    reading task. A gerund is the ing form of a verb used as a noun. The gerund form of a verb looks exactly like the present participle, but they function differently in a sentence. The gerund will fill a noun slot (subject, direct object, object of preposition, etc.), but the participle will be either an adjective or part of a verb phrase: ~Running is good exercise. (gerund) ~Are those new running shoes? (participle) ~He is running his last race today. (participle) Since a gerund acts as a noun, just as "book" is a noun, it can be modified by another noun in the possessive case: ~I admired Jim's new car ~I admired Jim's swimming 1. My tutor takes time to talk with me about the project. I appreciate it. I appreciate my tutor taking time to talk with me about the project I appreciate my tutors taking time to talk with me about the project 2. Do you mind if I smoke? Do you mind me smoking? / Do you mind my smoking? 3. My flatmates usually go out at night. They come back home late. I dont mind it. My flatmates usually go out at night. I dont mind them/their coming back home late. I dont mind my flatmates usually going out at night and coming back home late I dont mind my flatmates usually going out at night and coming back home late In these cases, the difference between the object form (me) and the possessive form (my) is a matter of style. In modern English, we use object forms more often than possessives with gerund in informal, conversational style. Note that the verbs see, hear, feel, smell are not usually followed by possessive + ing I saw him getting on the bus (NOT: I saw his getting on the bus)
