A question
How the meaning of the word changes if I write "Monitoring of the traffic flow..." in place of "Monitoring the traffic flow...". Thanks in advance.
Top answer
I don't see any change in meaning. The differences lie in how the term is used in the sentence. His job is to monitor the traffic flow.
