English posted by Please Help Tuesday, December 13, 2016 at 2:12pm Read the following sentence: We should probably call the neighbors about that barking dog running through their yard. Which of the following correctly describes the verbal and its function in this sentence? Barking is a present participle describing the dog.*** Barking is a gerund describing the dog. Running is a present participle describing the dog. Running is a past participle describing the dog. Morgan Tuesday, December 13, 2016 at 2:16pm I think the answer is the second sentance: Barking is a gerund describing the dog. I had to look up what gerund meant first though. Please Help Tuesday, December 13, 2016 at 2:17pm But a gerund does not describe, or so I thought. It acts as a noun. Thank you though! Ms. Sue Tuesday, December 13, 2016 at 2:18pm Please Help is correct. Morgan, gerunds are only nouns. Please Help Tuesday, December 13, 2016 at 2:19pm I just submitted my test, A was the right choice. Thank you though Morgan Tuesday, December 13, 2016 at 2:24pm I was close XD You're welcome. I try my best to help on here. This website is awesome!

Please only answer those you are completely sure of -- and check out with other sources. Morgan Tuesday, December 13, 2016 at 2:45pm Not trying to make you feel bad but that actually hurt my feelings... Ms. Sue Tuesday, December 13, 2016 at 2:50pm I don't feel bad at all. :-) Writeacher Tuesday, December 13, 2016 at 2:51pm Morgan's feelings need to be hurt -- enough so that he/she stops posting wrong answers on other students' posts. Morgan Tuesday, December 13, 2016 at 2:53pm Ok, thatis just mean. If you think that there is a time when ANYONE'S feelings need to be hurt then you are very wrong on that one because everyone deserves kindness even when they make mistakes.
