      Not, its not. A gerund phrase starts with a gerund.
      It's similar to words like baby feeding, sky diving, horse riding..
      Here, two words together form a noun.

      I believe that gerunds can have objects before them e.g. "I saw Tim riding his bike." "I" is the subject, "saw" is the verb, "Tim" is the object and the gerund is "riding."
      Correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks!

    Could I ask you a question ? In your video, there is a sentence: Max is thinking about starting a business. I am confusing about the analysis of this sentence. Are “thinking about” as a phrasal verb and “starting a business”(gerund phrases) as the object of this phrasal verb, or are “think” as a verb and “about starting a business”(prepositional phrases) as the adverbial phrase to modify the verb “think”? and can a prepositional phrase work as a direct object of verbs, subject, or else nominal? Thank you very much!

    • @EnglishWithAshish
      @EnglishWithAshish  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Let's look at it this way:
      • Max is thinking about about starting a business.
      Thinking: action verb
      About: preposition
      Starting a business: object of the preposition ABOUT (Gerund phrase)
      THINK is not a transitive verb. It is always followed by a preposition.
      • Think of
      • Think about
      • Thinking of me
      • Thinking about me
      Thinking me ❌

      @@EnglishWithAshish But how to know whether the verb is transitive or not when there are both transitive and intransitive usages for one verb at the same time in the dictionary? All verbs that are followed by prepositions rather than direct objects are intransitive verbs, can I understand it in this way?

    • @EnglishWithAshish
      @EnglishWithAshish  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I believe the concept of transitive verbs and intransitive verbs has been made difficult by some grammarians. You might find my way of looking at it helpful!
      Transitive verb: an action verb that can be acted upon something or somebody. In other words, it has a receiver.
      Eat, slap, kiss, hig, study, learn....
      You can perform all these actions onto something or somebody.
      You can eat something or somebody.
      You can kiss something or somebody.
      But, can you sleep something or somebody?
      Can you walk something or somebody?
      Can you laught something or somebody?
      YOU CAN'T.
      These are intransitive verbs. Intransitive verbs can't be acted upon something or somebody directly or indirectly. They need a preposition after them.
      Look at these examples now!
      • She is eating right now.
      • Let's not study anymore.
      EATING and STUDY are transitive verbs that can have an object. But we choose not to. That doesn't make them intransitive verbs.
      Hope this helps! Try checking out my lesson on transitive and intransitive verbs; that might clear all your doubts!

    Question, is the following a Gerund phrase: “Having kept a sharp eye on philosophers”. What would be the subject and the verb ? And usually phrases don’t have both a noun and verb; would this be an exception?

    • @EnglishWithAshish
      @EnglishWithAshish  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Depends.
      If it's used as a noun in a sentence, it will be a gerund phrase.
      • Having kept a sharp eye on philosophers gives him great insights about him. (Working as the subject)
      • He is known for having kept a sharp eye on philosophers. (Object of the preposition ABOUT)
      • Having kept a sharp eye on philosophers, He decided to write a book on life. (Working as a participle phrase, adjective)
      It's just a phrase that starts with a present participle, how it functions in a sentence will decide what exactly type of a phrase it is.

      An object simply receives an action.

    Can we use determiners in front of gerund?

    • @EnglishWithAshish
      @EnglishWithAshish  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Not all, but you can definitely use possessive adjectives (determiner) before gerunds.

    Measuring logistics cost .....is it gerund phrase ????? Or ....Present participle phrase ????

    • @EnglishWithAshish
      @EnglishWithAshish  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      It depends on how you use it; it can work both as a gerund phrase and a participle phrase.
      • Measuring logistics cost is a tough task.
      (Gerund phrase, working as the subject)
      • The guy measuring logistics cost is my senior.
      (Working as a participle phrase, modifying the noun "the guy")

    • @EnglishWithAshish
      @EnglishWithAshish  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@gamechanger2431 When I said "participle phrase", I meant present participle phrase. And a participle phrase ALWAYS works as an adjective.
      And please understand, a participle phrase, generally, comes after the noun it modifies. If it comes before the noun it modifies, it is offset using a comma.
      Example:-
      • Looking at the window, Riya decides to go out and play.

    Concerning the sentence "her happiness is eating my brain". The question "what is her happiness" seems tacky and unclear to answer according to your example and the answer "eating my brain" does not indicate a general state, a progress action rather. However, this sentence sounds metaphorically unintelligible. A kind of lateral translation I guess ?

    • @EnglishWithAshish
      @EnglishWithAshish  ปีที่แล้ว

      I don't understand what's unclear here. The speaker calls something nonliteral (an action) their happiness. The sentence follows a simple structure. Please help me understand what's tacky or unclear to you!
