用法筆記

Most often appears in the fixed terms present participle and past participle. Distinguish from gerund: the same -ing form is usually called a gerund when it works as a noun, as in "Swimming is good exercise."

常見錯誤

The participle of go is went.
The past participle of go is gone.
'went' is the past tense form, not the past participle.
Walking" in "Walking is good exercise" is a participle.
Walking" there is a gerund.
when the -ing form works as a noun, it is usually called a gerund instead.
