I have to know what part of the word in the setence

BeginStudentHi ,

I have sentence :" Nice seeing you " - What the part of the word "seeing" , verb, noun , gerund ?

Thanks .

verb

YL, you sure?

It's an abbreviated way of speaking. It was nice seeing you. It was nice to see you. Seeing you was nice - I'd say it's gerund.

Hi Barbara

Nice seeing you = Nice to see you.

I was thinking that 'see' is a verb, and 'seeing' is also a verb. I stand corrected.

Am I wrong?

Most English learners are betting at labeling these parts of speech than I am, but I would say in this case it's a gerund. On the other hand, I've sure been wrong before!

(I find labeling parts of speech to be the least interesting and useful part of English. Knowing -- or in my case, not knowing -- such things doesn't really impact my ability to write a good, grammatical sentence. I wish

A gerund has features of both noun and verb.

It is/was nice seeing you is the full form of Nice seeing you.

This full form (above) is generated by moving the original subject (seeing you) to the end, and placing dummy it where the subject used to be.

Seeing you is/was nice is the underlying sentence.

seeing is a gerund

Hi CJ

Thanks for the confirmation.

Hi Barbara

Thanks for pointing out my error.

Thanks for all .

I have question about this sentence that written by Grammar geek " I've sure been wrong before!"
In which tense this setence is ?

" I've sure been wrong before!"

Thanks again.

I've = I have

I have sure been wrong before.

have been is the present perfect tense of to be.

CJ

Present perfect.

I was wrong. I have been wrong. I will be wrong again.

Sure is another way of saying "certainly."
