Hello Rex; Welcome to English Forums! The lexical analysis (labeling the constituent parts) depends on whose grammatical system you are using. For example "implementing the changes" in traditional grammar would be a gerund phrase.

Hello Rex;
Welcome to English Forums!
The lexical analysis (labeling the constituent parts) depends on whose grammatical system you are using.
For example "implementing the changes" in traditional grammar would be a gerund phrase. A gerund is a present participle used as a noun. Some systems use the label "verbal" for these verb forms that take on other syntactical fun

Yes. I went back and forth on "implementing the changes"
When I looked up gerund I found the following:
Gerund: A gerund is a noun made from a verb by adding "-ing."
Here was my thought process:
"implementing" in the context of the phrase "implementing the changes" didn't seem to me like it was acting as a noun.
"implementing" in the context of the phras

When you have doubts about an -ing verb form, try substituting something that you are sure of in its place.
For example:
For example:
- Once I have completed implementing the changes, I will contact you.
- Once I have completed the musical score, I will contact you.
- Once I have completed the project, I will contact you.
