Re: How to raise heart rate naturally. and in the spirit of trying to find the problem, not just fix the symptom: A lot of us have cold hands or feet and simply put up with it. For some people it can be a serious problem - especially if they get very cold.
Gerund Phrase. Sometimes a word or phrase appears to be a verb when, in fact, itâs something else. Itâs important to look at the function that a word or phrase plays in a sentence before determining its part of speech.
The formal distinction is that a gerund is a verbal noun â a noun derived from a verb that retains verb characteristics, that functions simultaneously as a noun and a verb, while other nouns in the form of the present participle (ending in -ing) are deverbal nouns, which function as common nouns, not as verbs at all.
