I have experienced sentences in which two gerunds occur in a row with nothing between them. Those sentences, while clear in meaning feel so incredibly unnatural and awkward. (I wish I could think of an example now…) | |

| Feb 27, 2011 at 8:24 | comment | added | chaos | It's the gerund. You can tell because making and controlling are functioning as nouns. | |
| Feb 27, 2011 at 8:03 | comment | added | John Assymptoth | The verb tense I am using is the present participle or the gerund? I would say it is the present participle. | |
