"Our + V. + -ing"

[Odessa Dawn]

​

"Truth-telling requires that we speak from a motive of love—wanting the very best for another—and not from a motive of ‘proving my point.’ We cannot desire to ‘win’ or ‘get even.’ Motive is so all-important. Watching our mate’s reaction to our sharing will often reveal the impact of our ‘truth-telling’."

When a verb preceded by a possessive pronoun should be constructed in gerund?

​

Thank you,

I'm not sure what you are asking here, OD. Can you rephrase your question?

Thank you for your question.

Why do we have the verb share being constructed in –ing form? Does that mean that any verb preceded by possessive pronouns (our, her, his, your, its) should take gerund?

​

Thank you,

I wouldn't say any verb should be in gerund form, but some verbs can be in gerund form after possessive pronouns.

'We enjoyed his singing.'
'He likes my dancing.'

No....

I understand what you meant.

Gerund is a verb+ing to make it a noun. It don't have to be preceded by pronouns. It's used like general nouns.

Swimming is good for you.

Walking in the morning makes me feel good.

I don't like walking in the morning.

I'm afraid you didn't understand OD's question.

Please use standard English.

Your reply, while now grammatical, is still incorrect!
The examples you cite are irrelevant, since none contains a verb-form directly preceded by a pronoun.
The answer to the originally posed question is YES.
