Hi.

Can I use the gerund ending "ing" in a verb that comes after the following verbs?

> To be.
> To do.
> Modal verbs.

Examples (Plz please notice the "ing" in the verb "enhancing"):

1. Is enhancing the code algorithm good for readability?
2. Does enhancing the code algorithm good for improve readability?
3. Will enhancing the code algorithm be good for readability?

Which one is correct and why?
Thanks very much.

Please note my corrections above. As you can see, the "-ing" form is possible in each one, although the rest of sentences 2 and 3 needed corrections.
Using verb+ing after a form of "to do" is precisely how we create the present/past continuous so it's very common.
