Thank, Cas, hopefully it'll help me. :P

Sorry, my computer seem to have stuck, so I posted my reply at the top.
Anyway, Thanks again. :P

You are most welcome. :D

Why use the "razz" ( :P ) emoticon? :(

What's wrong with this?
Is this better :( ?

Strange, I thought people like smiles.
Ok, I'll mean it.

Could you, please, help me with the identification of the gerund. I often happen to confuse it with the participle. Sometimes I can hardly distinguish the difference between gerund and participle.
Thanks in advance.

They are spelled the same, but they are used differently. A gerund is a noun, and a participle is a verb.
