hello,
After some verbs such as "go, come...", we use the -ing form of verbs. But no-one indicates whether that -ing form of verb is participle or gerund. Some people say that it's participle, and "go, come" are used as auxiliary-like function.
Please explain which is which.
Many thanks.

Hello Khaiminh,
I fail to understand how it matters, whether we call it participle or gerund. In English it's one and the same thing, for all practical purposes.
Best regards.
