"water" or "watering" plant?

Only the first is a complete sentence. Other than that, both phrases are natural.

Hi.

The first sentence is imparative.

But the second one is a noun phrase which is not complete per se. It can be part of another sentence.

Watering plants everyday is one of his responsibility. (noun phrase)

I hate watering plants everyday. (Gerund)

Cheers

miyabiHi, everybody which one is correct?1. "Water plants every day."2. "Watering plants every day." Thank you!

Both are not considered correct becasue they are not complete sentences by definition. You need a subject, "he" or "she" for # 1.

# 2 is a fragment. ,

You need a subject, "he" or "she" for # 1.-- No, as mentioned above, it is an imperative sentence.

Mr. MM,

Thanks, I understand "take out the garbage", "go sleep" and "don't come back!" are imperative. "Water plants every day"

just doesn't sound imperative to me. Maybe I didn't see it as one.
