present participle

[onkar]

1- Eating boys will be punished.

2-It is either my driving or diving time.

3- Money-desiring people must have to work hard.

4-A hoping situation is still left.

I have tried to make sentences using present participle, but i doubt whether these are correct. Are above sentences correct? Following are some words ,Can I use them also in a sentence as present participle?

the respecting boys,a remembering girl,a dispatching house.
Can I make any verb to act as present participle by adding " ing", and use in sentences ,or do you suggest me any other method?

You can add -ing to any verb but that doesn't mean the result will make any sense. In the four examples you gave, only #2 is natural. The other three sound extremely awkward, and #4 is just wrong.

NOT A TEACHER


(1) It's wonderful that you want to understand the use of -ing words in English.

(2) As the teacher told us, the proper use of -ing words can be very complex.

(3) I think that many native speakers would laugh at your first sentence. Do you

realize what it means? For example:

Eating food in the library will be punished. = If anyone eats food in the library,

that person will be punished.

Therefore, "Eating boys will be punished" = If a person eats boys, that person will be

punished.

Of course, you did NOT mean to say that.

Maybe you wanted to say something like:

Boys eating in class will be punished. (The particlple AFTER the noun in this case is

fine but not before the noun.) In other words: Boys [who are] eating in class will be punished.)
