Lecture 21 -ing Participle In this book, the term “-ing participle” is used to include both the traditional “present participle” and the “gerund”. The present lecture is devoted to the collocation of -ing participle with verbs. If need be, mention will also be made of the contrast between –ing participle and corresponding use of the infinitive. 21.1 Collocation of -ing participle with verbs This section is concerned with two collocations: “verb + -ing form” and “verb + object + preposition + -ing form”. 1) Verb + -ing form (-ing form is used as object) There are verbs that can only be followed by an -ing form rather than an infinitive as object.

People usually enjoy being flattered. Sorry I delayed answering you in time. Verbs such as help, resist and stand are all used in a non-assertive pattern with can (or could) before they take -ing participles. And the verb mind is also used in a non-assertive environment when it is followed by an -ing participle. e.g.: She couldn’t help crying when she saw me. I don’t mind working late at night, but I can’t stand getting up early in the morning. On seeing the conductor trip and fall on his face, the audience couldn’t resist laughing. About the logical subject of the -ing participle, it needn’t be expressed if it is the subject of the main clause. e.g.: She admitted taking the money. I didn’t anticipate mee
