Grammar
The usage of appreciate
Hi
Could you help me explain the grammer of the word "appreciate" below the sentence?
Thank you very much.
1. I would appreciate your sending me the information as soon as possible.
My question is why the word " appreciate " is followed by "your sending." Are these two words " your sending" regarded as gerund. Or is there any way to remake the original sentence.

adonis1013 Are these two words " your sending" regarded as gerund. Sending is indeed a gerund. Your is its subject; in other words, your tells us who sends.
