Possessive Use a Gerund | Grammar Lesson 🧑💻🎒
Why should you say "I appreciate your helping me" instead of "I appreciate you helping me"? Let’s clear up this highly misunderstood rule! 🤷♂️
In this complete grammar-in-context lesson, we dive into possessive nouns and pronouns with gerunds! A gerund is an "-ing" verb acting as a noun. Because it acts like a noun, any modifier coming right before it needs to show possession. Learn how to spot the difference between a gerund (like "your driving") and a participle (like "you driving"), and master a simple noun-substitution trick to make sure you always pass this tricky standardized test trap!
