Study this following examples:a) He loves painting.
b) He is painting.

Both of the sentences above are different. (a). /He loves painting/ is built from gerund and (b) /He is painting/ is built from participle or present participle.
GerundBasically, gerund is a verb.

For foreign language learners, To find the difference between Object and Complement in one case which is going to discuss below is difficult. Here, I'm trying to discuss the lesson.



Object is something done by subject. It refers to an action (done by subject). Complement is to give more information about the verb. There has been a gap between the two (actually) differences.

Every languages has its own uniqueness as well as English language. In English grammar, structure points to how the group of words combines and builds a full meaningful sentence. All patterns that we found in the structure of English language point to two mainkinds of sentences; Verbal and Nominal sentence.

They are so called because the validity of the main clause of the sentence is conditional on the existence of certain circumstances, which may be expressed in a dependent clause or may be understood from the context.

In this pattern, I would like to say that the point of the pattern is in the verb and to infinitive. 
What is "to infinitive"? To infinitive is a kind of verb. What kinds of verb is it and what is the difference between the verb and the to-infinitive? Well, the discussion turns complicated. Now let me simplify it.

There are two kinds of verbs in English </description><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" height="72" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSrfHiBnwZPeyjJ_YaomwbrhEVR30Kbxv9Hopl77G-2oewTHB98y-rwT5SaiWZ-ZXlWtQ5EPNWXVbw2P8jGa1ZW05v9v8u12Cw0xLaNt7RdBB2w0p0r-FWzRQc6AZkwonymo5ERqqhOpU/s72-c/verb+pattern+8.png" width="72"/></item><item><title>Verb Pattern 7</title><link>https://3nglish7.blogspot.com/2011/05/verb-pattern-7.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Google Blogger)</author><pubDate>Mon, 9 May 2011 10:00:00 +0700</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6320907355544314955.post-7413388551063798010</guid><description>I'm so sorry for not attending in many media like FB, Twitter and This page.

This pattern will be far different of the previous pattern. There are two additions we will find after the verb; Noun/Pronoun and Adjective.Study this following structure:

In this pattern, we will discuss direct object which is placed after the verb.

For example:

I post the letter.
She opened the window.

/the letter/ or /the window/ is the direct object. It is placed after the verb /post/ and /opened/.
Direct object is an object which indicates true relation to the verb.

Subject + Verb + Complement 
Complement is a word or more which is placed after a verb to make complete sense. The verb should not be in transitive verb. In this case or pattern, we will see that the verb "be", linking verb and the verb "become" will have complements&amp;nbsp; and be used to make a complete sense.
