Keeping eating?
Hi. Is it correct to have the word "keeping" followed by what appear to be another verb with "ing" like "eating" or "moving" in a conjunctive clause (I think the underlined parts are conjunctive clauses -- not sure, though.), as in the following example sentences? Thank you in advance for your help.
1. He hums while keeping eating the apple.
2. He sings while keeping moving to the left.
1. He hums while keeping eating the apple.
