present and past participle

by Rajat Khandelwal » Sat Feb 27, 2010 7:31 pm
But past participle is used to indicate action prior to that of the main verb .

And present participle is used to indicate action occurring at the same time as the action of the main verb.


Which one is correct?

The decision by one of the nation's largest banks to admit to $3 billion in potential losses on foreign loans could mean (the increasing pressure/increased pressure) on multigovernment lenders to supply the funds.

lending (adjective + gerund) is parallel to increased pressure (adjective + gerund).
