+ing

[aysaa]

Hello,

What is the difference with 'month cleaning' and 'month clean'?

I mean if we don't put +ing after 'clean', does the meaning change?

Or

Hand wash-hand washing, car wash-car washing, long jump-long jumping...

So much depends on the context. Could you provide some sentences you are not sure about?

[aysaa]

For example I am going to a dentist ,and I want to clean my month.

-I would like to know how much I have to pay for a month clean.

Or

-I would like to know how much I have to pay for a month cleaning.

I would like to know what the difference between month clean and month cleaning is.

For example we go to a dentist ,and I want to clean my month.

I don't know what you mean by 'clean my month'. Do you mean that you want to have your teeth cleaned once a month?

[aysaa]

Yes. I looked up a dictionary ,and I found 'month clean' and 'month cleaning'. Is there any distinction between American English and British English or something else?

You are using phrasing we are not familiar with.

A monthly cleaning would work grammatically but that's an unusual request at a dentist.

[aysaa]

It would be 'mouth cleaning'...Sorry...

I would like to know how much I have to pay for a mouth cleaning.
I would like to know how much I have to pay for a mouth clean.

I would like to know how much I have to pay for a mouth clean/cleaning.

That, too, is unnatural.

We'd probably say, "How much does it cost have have my teeth cleaned?"
