Past participle or Present participle?
0 Hi, all 02 br
02 br
00 Could you please tell me what's the difference between these two sentences. Actually, the part I'm interested in is if I should use the past participle or the present participle of the verb "to connect" after "a router". 02 br
02 br
00 1) I have a router connecting to my PC via a twisted pair cable. 02 br
00 2) I have a router connected to my PC via a twisted pair cable. 02 br
02 br
00 I tend to use the second one (connected) to describe what connects to what, but I've also heard people use the first one a lot. Which one seems to be more appropriate for you? 02 br
