Default Re: Do these need corrections?

Thank you so much, RonBee, for your prompt response to my post. I actually understand some, but not all of them, especially, about the phrase building, it is quite confusing for me. Could you go deeper into the rules of making it; like Noun Phrase, Indefinite Noun phrase and How about "Defragmenting the Drive C", does this work better, or not? To my point of view placing an article in front a word it can denote the word as a noun. And you also mentioned that defragment is a transitive verb, it needs an object, -which is a noun or something work as a noun. With this point of view, I then think of using "the" in front of Drive C. If "Defragmenting Drive C", it seems to me that the phrase itself is a double noun word, isn't it. That could mean the Drive C is defragmenting, isn't it? I probably wrong, kindly emphasize it again, so that I will not be confused about it any longer. Well, my questions seem to disturb much of your time, If you don't mind, please suggest me to visit a website which provides more details about it, please.

Best regards
Piak
