Gerund
Jhon is fishing.
It's a present progressive sentence. And beside here, "fishing" is a gerund. Which is main verb & auxiliary verb?
Here, my question is that, Does every progressive sentence have "Gerund"?
Fishing is funny.
Here, "fishing" is a gerund.
I have a boring teacher. Here, I guess "is" & "have" are main verb
Your writing skill is good. Here, Your= Pronoun, Writing= Gerund, Skill= noun, Is= Verb, Good= Adjective.
Am I right?
Please give me a proper solution.
