| Jul 25, 2022 at 21:10 | comment | added | Lambie | @BenjaminHarman I could not find this issue in those links. Maybe I read too fast. All I can say is that I am not referring to Green eggs and ham (a single dish) //[...]"what I'm doing is talking about doing them together as a singular activity". I guess you mean a single activity. I really did not get into single word uses of gerunds. So, for what I said, gerunds phrases like: playing tennis or riding horses) consisting of more than a single ing word, I'm not giving faulty advice. | |
