Answer:

Answer:

Two sentences use "eating" as a participle:

B. My eating habits are a lot healthier than they used to be.

D. This problem has been eating away at me, and I can't sleep.

Explanation:

The gerund and the present participle are identical to the eye. They both are formed by adding -ing to a verb root. Thus, "eating" can be a gerund or a participle, according to the context.

The difference between them is quite simple. The gerund acts like a noun, having the same functions a noun would have in a sentence: subject, object of a verb or of a preposition, and subject complement. The present participle, on the other hand, will either act as an adjective, modifying a noun or a pronoun, or be a part of a continuous tense.

That is precisely what we have in options B and D. In option B, "eating" is an adjective modifying the noun "habits". In letter D, "eating" is a part of the Present Perfect Continuous tense. Therefore, in options B and D, "eating" is a participle:

B. My eating habits are a lot healthier than they used to be.

D. This problem has been eating away at me, and I can't sleep.

Identify the gerund phrase and its noun use. The little boy left home without telling his mother. Gerund phrase: Noun use:

Answers

Answer: Gerund phrase: telling his mother. Noun use: object of the preposition.

Explanation: a gerund is a verb form which functions as a noun (as a subject, direct object, indirect object, object of a preposition, etc), in English they end in "-ing." In the given sentence we can see an example of a gerund phrase in the words "telling his mother" ("telling" is the gerund and "his mother" is a complement), this gerund phrase is acting as the object of the preposition "without" which is place just before it.
A gerund phrase is a group of words that uses verbs and modifiers, but functions as a noun or the direct object in the sentence. In the sentence, The little boy left home without telling his mother, the gerund phrase is "without telling his mother" and its noun use is the direct object of the verb left.

Identify the word which the italicized adjective clause modifies.My most unusual uncle is the man (whose portrait hangs) on the wall.
uncle
man
portrait

Answers

The correct answer is man. Adjective clauses are relative clauses that come immediately after the noun they modify and are introduced by a relative pronoun (that, which, who, whose, etc.) which connects the clause to the noun being described. In the example, the adjective clause whose portrait hangs comes after the noun man; consequently, it modifies the word man.
This adjective clause, 'whose portrait hangs' refers to, or modifies 'man'.
