Compare two sentences:

Astronaut talks about the flight and smiling.
Astronaut talks about the flight, smiling.

Name the basic sentences.

In which sentence can one of the highlighted words pose questions to the other?

In which sentence do the highlighted words mean: one is the main, main action expressed by a predicate verb, and the other is additional, additional to the main?

The additional action is expressed by the word smiling. This is a participle.

The gerunds combine the characteristics of a verb and an adverb.

Verb signs of gerunds

Participles are formed only from verbs, for example: examine - examining, laugh - laughing. Like a verb, gerunds can be perfect or imperfect, for example: smiling - imperfect.

The dependent word - a noun or pronoun - is placed in the gerund in the same case as in the verb from which the gerund is formed, for example: paint(What?) wall(V.p.) - having painted(What?) wall(V.p.).

Adverbial signs of gerunds

The gerund is similar to an adverb in that it does not change (it is not inflected or conjugated).

In a sentence, a gerund is an adverbial adverbial, for example: The astronaut, smiling, talks about the flight. - Tells(How?) smiling(i.e. with a smile); Having landed, he looked around happily. - Looked(When?) landing(i.e. after landing).

• What do gerunds and verbs have in common and how do they differ? participles and adverbs?

Using this definition, think like this: looking out the window, Petya saw a friend; saw- the main action, and looking out- additional means looking out- participle.

180. Read and analyze the information. From what point of view is the participle characterized? Write three sentences as a dialogue between the teacher and students.

Why did the participle get such a name? It turns out that the participle is connected with the main action and is involved in it. To be more precise, the word gerund comes from the words participle and action. It denotes an additional action that is associated with the main one.

181. Which highlighted words indicate basic actions and which additional ones? Rewrite, adding missing commas; write a letter above the participles d. Underline the main parts of the sentence.

Lifeless mists smoky hanging over the water, reflecting ghostly outlines. The wind is cool dozing,hiding in the needle branches, (not) paid..bit sleeping water (not) moving green pine needles. Flocks of migratory ducks, spanking wings, restless rise from the water and swans, bending long necks, white with reflections in the water, sensitively listen to the forest echo.

(A. Serafimovich)

182. Read the text. Why was the version of the sentence with the participle better? Construct a diagram of the first sentence with direct speech.

Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky did not like one expression. I had it written like this: “When the organ grinder stops playing, the official throws a nickel from the window, which falls at the feet of the organ grinder.”

“Not that, not that,” Dostoevsky suddenly spoke irritably, “not that at all!” You sound too dry: “The nickel fell at your feet.” You should say: “The nickel fell on the pavement, ringing and bouncing.”

This remark - I remember well - was a revelation for me. Yes, indeed, “ringing and bouncing” comes out much more picturesque, completing the movement.

(V. Grigorovich)

The main action, indicated by the predicate verb, and the additional action, indicated by the gerund, refer to the same person (subject).

183. In which sentences is there an error in the use of gerunds? Copy, correcting errors (if any) in the use of gerunds. What type of participle?

1. Opening the window, I admired the view of the city. 2. Opening the door, it creaked loudly. 3. Brother, tilting his head to the side, wrote something. 4. While finishing (?) the drawing, my pencil became weak. 5. Returning home, it was raining. 6. There were various toys on the floor, the children started some interesting game. 7. Some of the kids, having started drawing, (didn’t) want to go to lunch. 8. After reading the story, it seemed too sad(?) to me.
