Dear teacher,

May I use the 'ING' form with any verb to create adjectives or nouns?

The adjective 'Telephonic' has it an adverb to be 'Telephonically'?

When I can use 'The', 'a', 'an' before nouns?

Best regards,

May I use the 'ING' form with any verb to create adjectives or nouns? No.

The adjective 'Telephonic' has it an adverb to be 'Telephonically'? Yes.

When I can use 'The', 'a', 'an' before nouns? An extremely broad question. A and an are usually not used before uncountable nouns and plurals; the is possible with all nouns in the right context.

They are called adverbs. What questions do you have about them?

Note that you do not need to start every letter with a capital letter.

Oh poop. I meant, of course, that you do not have to start every WORD with a capital letter.
