The following are wrong:
1, 2, 5, 7, 10
Please study your text again and repost.
1.isit participle because destroyed describes houses
2.inf.
5.gerund
7.participle and the phrase is WORKING AFTER SCHOOL
10.gerund
the phrase is swimming
1 and 2 are now right.
5. The verb in this sentence: IS PLAYING. There is no participial, gerund or infinitive phrase in this sentence.
7. You've identified the phrase, but it's a gerund since it's the direct object of "enjoy."
20. It is a gerund -- but the whole phrase is SWIMMING IN A POOL RATHER THAN IN THE OCEAN.
1. is SHOWED participle
2. gerund; TO GO
1. No. SHOWED is the past tense of the verb in this sentence.
2. Huh? I already told you that you identified TO GO correctly as an infinitive.
