Hi,
"Somewhere on this globe, every ten seconds, there is a woman giving birth to a child. She must be found and stopped."
I found it her >> http://www.grammar-monster.com/glossary/present_participle.htm
I want to know the part of speech of "giving". Is it an adjective or a verb? It is mentioned in the website that "giving" is an adjective, but I don't think so because I see that this sentence "there is a woman giving birth to a child" is a shorter form of "there is a woman who is giving birth to a child". Thus, "giving" is a verb not an adjective.
What do you think?
