Thank you! i havenĀ“t read the complete story but i guess it will help once i figure out the pattern and verbs which to use with those participlesā€¦I donĀ“t quite understand the difference because my language doesnĀ“t have such constructionsā€¦ are they linked to passive voice? and if they are, when I am changing active into passive should i shift the tense too? I honestly donĀ“t understand the construction of ā€œing and to-participlesā€ā€¦ :roll: Or am I just complicating things which are actually simple:?:

Do you have some answers/explanations on this? ( My exam is in two daysā€¦ :wink: )

Thanks!
