| They are gerunds/nouns. They rename and explain the word "activities", which is also a noun. |

| Thanks for reply. What if the first sentence is changed: My weekend was really good: eating etc...... Does it rename 'weekend' (don't think so), or does it rename a not mentioned activity (not sure), or is it a list of 'actions', then they are verbs....(confused) ? |
