Witam, proszę o pomoc w ułożeniu kilku wrażeń z gerundem
np:your dog needs feeding(?)
avoid
defer
delay
deny
detest
dred
keep
pardon
prevent
:)

>dred

Oh dear, I'm dreading having to sit an exam tomorrow.

a może być takie zdanie?
You have to avoid making mistakes in your composition?

Nie mylcie gerund z present participle. Gerund to rzeczownik.

>a może być takie zdanie?
>You have to avoid making mistakes in your composition

super! dawaj nastepne przyklady, a ja ci je sprawdze, OK?

czyli to zdanie które napisałam jest złe?

eh, I'm not mocking you, twoje zdanie jest POPRAWNE pod kazdym wzgledem...

Zdanie jest dobrze.
I have to avoid making mistakes.
"making" to gerund
A present participle to bardziej w konstrukcjach typu:
I'm making mistakes
I heard him making mistakes
Azureus, wyjasnij, prosze, gdzie widzisz pomylke?

>Zdanie jest dobrze.
>I have to avoid making mistakes.
>"making" to gerund
>A present participle to bardziej w konstrukcjach typu:
>I'm making mistakes
>I heard him making mistakes
>Azureus, wyjasnij, prosze, gdzie widzisz pomylke?

Nie chodziło mi o to konkretne zdanie, ale o tę listę słów:
avoid
defer
delay
deny
detest
dred
keep
pardon
prevent

większość nie ma formy gerund.

to co napisala oli jest kanonem - warto sobie to zapamietac
od siebie dodam jeszcze, iz w zdaniu:
I heard him singing, singing funkcjonuje jako present participle
I heard HIS singing, singing funkcjonuje jako gerund

a czasowniki, ktore zapodala autorka tego watka maja w funkcji dopelnienia wlasnie gerund, a nie present participle
avoid making/dread having to etc.

a te zdanka ?
I defer doing one's lesson for later.
He delays closeouting.
I detest desterbing me

A, Ok, czyli chodzilo Tobie o to, ze engee uzyl "I'm dreading"? I'm dreading jest akurat Ok, chociaz reszta faktycznie raczej w gerund nie wystepuje.
Mowa jednak o uzyciu, np. prevent + gerund

moze poza keep, deny, delay?

to ostatnie raczej: I detest BEING DISTURBED, co do 1 & 2 nie bardzo rozumiem, co masz na mysli...

>A, Ok, czyli chodzilo Tobie o to, ze engee uzyl "I'm dreading"? I'm
>dreading jest akurat Ok, chociaz reszta faktycznie raczej w gerund nie
>wystepuje.
>Mowa jednak o uzyciu, np. prevent + gerund

ale w zdaniu "I'm dreading" dreading to present participle a nie gerund.

"It was dreading the future what made me very stressed out." Ale jeśli się nie mylę to w tym zdaniu dreading to gerund. Więc się jednak da, sorry za wprowadzenie w błąd.

>I defer doing one's lesson for later.
>He delays closeouting.

I always defer doing my lessons for a later time.
He delays closing out his share of the business.

I imagine her walking on the cat-walk.
Wyobrażam sobie ją chodzącą na wybiegu

The government prevent the farmers cultivating marihuana

Temat listu jest taki, zeby napisac do pen-friend'a z USA o swoim kraju : zakupy, TV, jedzenie itd.

Dear Claudia,
Thanks for your letter. It was nice to hear from you. I'm sorry I haven't answered earlier but I was really busy with my school.
Anyway, you asked me about life on my country. So I think it's pretty dull but undoubtedly Poland can also praise some things.
I'm sure our food is less fat than yours and what's more, it is very tasty! Just look at people living in your country. I don't have you in mind but the majority of them are extremely padded, aren't they? So if your friend complains about overweight, suggest her to visit Poland.
As for TV - it's quite good. Maybe there aren't thousands of channels but you can find some interesing soap opera or film.
I'm always sounding off about Polish entertainment! Rarely you can meet somebody out by nigdht. Discos and pubs are opened from 9 to 2 p.m. It's somenting unthinkable! After all, life starts after midnight!
Recently, Poland invests in department stores. Therefore shopping is more pleasant and available. There are many foreign shops and you can fell like a star trying on all this clothes!
Poland is fantastic for sightseeing. We have a lot of remarkable places where you may see many magnificient monuments. Particularly, I recommend you to visit Cracow and Warsaw.
Anyway, there's lots more to write about Poland but it is necessary to see it to feel climate of this East country.
That's all for now. Write soon.

Love,
Annie

Proszę o poprawę. Przecinki też. :( na akapity nie zwracajcie uwagi.

"I'm dreading" dreading to present participle a nie gerund.

Tak, chodzilo mi o present participle, sorry.

raczej: prevent the farmers FROM cultivating

>I imagine her walking on the cat-walk.
>Wyobrażam sobie ją chodzącą na wybiegu

OK

>The government prevent the farmers cultivating marihuana.
The government prevent the farmers' from cultivating marihuana.

Sorki: Dreading the future, she... to participle ;-))
Ale Dreading the future is a ... bedzie gerundem

No patrz, znowu moj blad: Nie widzialam "It was" tylko "I was" - stad napisalam o participle

I am a man of keen eye for any kind of detail that is wrong with my knowledge of English grammar and spelling. ;-]
flattering myself...

Flattering myself
