It looks like you've uploaded an image of a grammar worksheet titled
"Infinitive, Participle, or Gerund?". The task is to identify whether the underlined word or phrase in each sentence is an
infinitive,
participle, or
gerund.
Since I can't view images directly, I’ll need you to provide the
text of the sentences (or describe them) so I can help solve the problem and explain the solution.
However, based on the structure of such worksheets, here’s how we typically approach this:
---
🔍 Understanding the Concepts:
1.
Infinitive: "to + verb" (e.g., *to eat*, *to run*) — often used as a noun, adjective, or adverb.
2.
Gerund: verb + *-ing* acting as a
noun (e.g., *swimming*, *reading*).
3.
Participle:
-
Present participle: verb + *-ing* used as an adjective (e.g., *running water*).
-
Past participle: usually verb + *-ed* or irregular form, used as an adjective (e.g., *broken glass*).

✔ How to Solve Each Sentence:
For each sentence:
- Look at the underlined word/phrase.
- Ask: Is it a
"to + verb"? → Infinitive.
- Is it a
"-ing" word acting as a
noun (subject, object, complement)? → Gerund.
- Is it a
"-ing" word modifying a noun (describing it)? → Present participle.
- Is it a
past tense or past participle form used as an adjective? → Past participle.

📝 Example:
Let’s say one sentence is:
> 1. Studying is my favorite hobby.
- Underlined:
Studying
- It's a noun (subject of the sentence), formed from a verb with *-ing* →
Gerund
