Writing question- participless?

<p>I don't get past participles and present participles? What's the difference and when should it be used? And whats the difference between like and as?</p>

<p>bump, help please</p>

<p>Give me an example question, so that I can better answer the question</p>

<p>The college has decided requiring all students to study at least one non-europen language,
Why would it be to require instead of requiring? and how would you know when this is indeed the case?</p>

<p>In that sentence “requiring” sounds awkward. In many questions, if the sentence sounds weird, it’s probably wrong</p>

<p>If you are a non-native speaker you probably have to memorize long lists of gerunds vs infinitives. :(</p>
