  • Explain the grammatical functions of the word shopping.

    When Alison goes shopping she always puts her shopping in the shopping cart while she's shopping around.


    Best answer

    Shopping is a gerund. It’s derived from the verb ‘to shop’, which means to buy or purchase something. It is a noun just like ‘smoking’, ‘swimming’ and the like. It is a noun and it functions either as a subject or an object of the sentence. For example: Shopping is her favorite pastime. ‘Shopping’ in this sentence functions as a subject of the sentence. I don’t enjoy shopping at the weekend. ‘Shopping’ in this sentence functions as the object of the verb ‘enjoy’. ‘Shopping’ could also be a present participle [base form + -ing] when used as part of the verb if it comes after the auxiliary verb ‘be’. For example: I am shopping at the mall now. In a nutshell, shopping could function either as a gerund [subject or object] or a present participle [after the auxiliary ‘be].

  • which one is more effective, group classes or one-to-ones ?
    Best answer

    All depends on which area of language you would like to improve! If your goal is to start speaking, I would suggest one on one native speaker. On the other hand, when it comes to exam preparation, vocabulary, or grammar practice, you could benefit from group lessons as you can learn from others, as well as, their mistakes.
