Grammar
That grew?
This is on page 660 #17 on the SAT OG Book.
One of the brackets is suppose to contain an error.
[Crossing and recrossing] the stream, stepping on or over slippery rocks, and [following] a trail [that grew] steeper and steeper, the hikers soon realized [how challenging] their day would be. [no error]
The correct answer is [no error] but isn't [that grew] wrong? All the other verbs are in present tense, except this one. Or can the others be gerunds? can you explain a little about gerunds?
