Hi!

I would like to ask for help, if you are free today after 19:00, please write me a PM.

There are 40 different grammatical questions, now I'm not asking you to solve these questions for me (they are from a previous test which i failed) and I would like someone to enlighten me on each one. Now, I am not available but tonight if you have the time I would really appreciate it if you could help me with these questions, they are rather difficult for me and I would like you to explain the grammatical rules regarding each one. :oops:

I'll leave a question or two here so you will see what kind of help I need.

Which of the following sentences contains a participle ?
- I found hanging out with her scary.
- I found her reading a book on the sofa.
- I like reading a book.
- Reading books is fun.

Find the stentence that contains the verb "stay" in subjunctive mood.
- He should stay here.
- They have demanded that she stay here.
- Will she stay here after all?
- They have never believed that this is where I stay.

(there are 4 possible answers always)

Thanks to anyone, in advance! It shouldn't take more time than half an hour.

When do you have to resubmit this work to your tutor?

Okay as I see I did not make myself clear enough..

This WAS a test with these 40 given questions, and I failed it.

On wednesday I am going to have another test from this subject but with different questions of course. This is a university exam, not some kind of high school stuff, it is not homework.

But I did write this, "There are 40 different grammatical questions, now I'm not asking you to solve these questions for me (they are from a previous test which i failed" !!!!

and not that this is a homework.

All I wanted was to understand the grammar behind the questions, and see why did i fail.

If that is the case, the answer to your first question is #2, The rest of the -ing words are gerunds.
The answer to your second question is #2. Notice that the verb "stay" follows "she". In the indicative, that would be "stays".
