-ing = gerund
#17: Tom King (sgusa) on Jul 6, 2014
If the verb is used as a noun, I thought, but it has been more than 40 years since I took grammar... The example that I remember to this day is it is a gerund if it is used as, "I enjoy reading."
#18: Kurt Kowalczyk (bahabro) on Jul 6, 2014
depends on usage... "I like writing music" = gerund
"he's eating spaghetti" = verb

if it's "is" doing something, etc, becomes a participle. I'm not sure -ing anything is a pure verb. hard for me to remember it all(so you foreigners are screwed!), but any -ing usually is in noun form or has a helper verb

Swimming is fun = gerund (noun)
I am swimming = present participle (added to the verb "to be")
I am at the swimming meet = present participle, also (adjective).

Eating oysters on the halfshell?

I shouldn't have ventured down this road as I don't remember most of it...

I am eating oysters on the half-shell?
#25: Tom King (sgusa) on Jul 6, 2014
Get rid of the "I am" and you are damn close.
#26: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Jul 6, 2014
I already did, in #20. :P

yay - I had to jump in here. Squeeze is a cool band. We have this micro CD they put out quite some time ago.
#32: Alison P Deem (Indigo1) on Jul 7, 2014
I thought the big guy was holding a little guy in his hand. Thought the fork was a little guy wearing a hat and had his arms up! But hey, I got Piano Man...!
