el gerundioEsto es una discusión · 5 respuestas The book that I am using is "501 Spanish Verbs 5th Edition," pages xi and 670 A gerund is a verb used as a noun. Page xi states that in spanish the present participle is not used when a verb is used as a noun, but instead you use the inifinitve form. (Ver es creer. To see is to believe inestead of seeing is beleiving.) Now, page 670 states that the spanish gerund is the present participle of a verb. So I am confused..... in english you use the present particle verb form as verb, which is a gerund, but in spanish you use the infinitive verb form. So why does the book state later that the spanish gerund is the same form as the present participle? Usuario Nuevo02 Hola Mr. Bienvenido. You can say that the gerund is the same form as the present participle. The meanings could be different for some grammarians, but the fact is that they both refer to the same feature: the -ando-endo ending. Now you have mixed two different issues here, the first one is the use of the infinitive (not the gerund/present participle) as a noun, and the other one is the name associated with the -ando-endo forms. So to be clear..... the gerund and present participle of a verb have the same form, and the first statement means that when you use the present participle form as a noun in english, in the same circumstance you the infinitve form in spanish. And this is not saying that the spanish gerund is the infinitve form, it is just they way to use a verb as a noun. My english is not so good, but i hope that you can understand me. GERUNDIO-- Comiendo ( comi-endo),, creyendo (gerundio in spanish, no as a noun but an action. It means that the gerundio is like the present continues ( i´m eating--- the action is happen at this moment) Gerundio is the action of a verb. Nombre "el comer" , we always use in the infinitive to use a verb llike a noun. El comer te hará feliz-- Eating make you happy. Who do make you happy? El comer( eating), is a noun, is the subjetc of the sentence, but it´s not GERUNDIO Comiendo serás feliz--- Eating you will be happy. How can you be happy? Eating!!, but is not a noun is an action El fregar los platos se va a acabar--- the to scrub is going to finish NOUN Fregando no acabarás nunca---scrubbing you will not finish never GERUNDIO Un saludo Miembro Pleno528 Estar + gerundio 2 Ir + gerundio 3 Venir + gerundio 4 Andar + gerundio 5 Llevar + gerundio
Present is participle when it is used to 'participate' with another verb in creating a tense. In this case, present participle is used to form the continuous tenses along with the verb 'be'. It's the same in Spanish. He is eating. = Él está comiendo. He was eating. = Él estaba comiendo. Now, the present participle or -ing form is used in English to form continuous tenses when it goes with the verb 'be' and it is also used as a noun, just like in Spanish but in Spanish we use the infinitive as a noun. Beber y conducir es peligroso. In this case it is necessary to use infinitive verbs in order to create the nouns that constitute the subject of the sentence. It is not acceptable to say: Bebiendo y conduciendo es peligroso Usuario Principiante22 | ¿Tiene una pregunta? Hay gente esperando para ofrecerle ayuda.
