Note: The “ing” ending in English grammar changes both the meaning and the function of verbs. In some cases, it makes the verb act like a noun, and it also adds a different connotation to the word’s meaning.
The -ing ending creates three major functions when combined with a verb. The verb can acquire the function of a participle, the function of present continuous tense, or the function of an action noun, also known as a gerund.
