Madam, your lessons are the most comprehensive, and you are the most incredibly talented teacher. Having watched several grammar videos on TH-cam, I can easily say that you are the best. You have a gifted voice and tone. Thanks and thanks-only from India.
Hi teacher!Please answer my question 1) standing near the window,Frank could see the entire village(adjective participle) 2)delivering his speech to the council,Frank had a heart attack(adverbial participle) Why aren't both of the 2 sentences "Adverbial participle" , being able to accept "while"??
being a child, he loved spending time with his aunt. This sentence would make sense if we changed aunt into mom. Most children love spending time with their moms. we can understand the sentence like this: because he was a child, he loved spending time with his mom. To me, it does show the cause, not the time. do you think so or have I misunderstood something?
Though I cannot but agree that most children like to spend time with their parents, especially with their moms, it is always the context that determines whether a sentence makes sense or not.
Gerunds are verbs that act like nouns, i.e. the question you can put to a gerund is 'what?'. Like in this sentence, 'Smoking is a bad habit.' What is a bad habit? - Smoking. Participle I answers the question 'doing what?' and it can be preceded by 'when' or by 'while', no problem with that.

Hi teacher!Please answer my question
1) standing near the window,Frank could see the entire village(adjective participle)
2)delivering his speech to the council,Frank had a heart attack(adverbial participle)
Why aren't both of the 2 sentences "Adverbial participle" , being able to accept "while"??
Why not? In both sentences, the question to the participle is 'doing what?', not 'what/what kind?'
being a child, he loved spending time with his aunt. This sentence would make sense if we changed aunt into mom. Most children love spending time with their moms. we can understand the sentence like this: because he was a child, he loved spending time with his mom. To me, it does show the cause, not the time. do you think so or have I misunderstood something?
Though I cannot but agree that most children like to spend time with their parents, especially with their moms, it is always the context that determines whether a sentence makes sense or not.
In the example " When watching this ....." I don't understand why "watching" is taken as particale 1. Why not gerund!!! It"s preceded by "when".
Gerunds are verbs that act like nouns, i.e. the question you can put to a gerund is 'what?'. Like in this sentence, 'Smoking is a bad habit.' What is a bad habit? - Smoking. Participle I answers the question 'doing what?' and it can be preceded by 'when' or by 'while', no problem with that.
Ma'am
