Thank you! i havenīt read the complete story but i guess it will help once i figure out the pattern and verbs which to use with those participles...I donīt quite understand the difference because my language doesnīt have such constructions... are they linked to passive voice? and if they are, when I am changing active into passive should i shift the tense too? I honestly donīt understand the construction of "ing and to-participles".... :roll: Or am I just complicating things which are actually simple:?:

Do you have some answers/explanations on this? ( My exam is in two days... :wink: )

Thanks!
