How can i distinguish between Participle, Gerund and Verb in a sentence, which it contains "a word + ING"?
I used to perceive every "word+ING" as present participle tense, while it's not absolutely right.
Example 1: (OG verbal review 2nd ed.)
The normative model of strategic decision-making suggests that executives examine a firm's external environment and internal conditions and, USING the set of objective criteria derived from these analyses, decide
Example 2: (OG review 11th ed.)
The decision by one of the nation's largest banks to admit to $3 billion in potential losses on foreign loans could mean less LENDING by commercial banks to developing countries and increased pressure on multigovernment lenders to supply the funds.
increased pressure is parallel to less lending.
