Hi instructors,
my question is about gerunds, I don't quite understand the differences between the sentences below:
Suspect: I like Mike swimming
Right: Mike swimming is a sight to be hold.
The explanation is "a noun preceding a gerund must be in the possessive case if the noun is the doer of the action described by the gerund".
Why " Mike swimming" in the first sentence is suspect, while in the second one is right?
Thanks.
