	whl626  +  385687 Fri, 29 Jun 07 11:50 AM There are discussions about that matter frequently.  ( frequently is an adverb not an adjective so putting in front of discussions is wrong ) I think you could have more control over that issue. ( control over something ) They usually rest instead of sleeping and talking. ( sleeping and talking are gerunds ) If you do your part, I'll give you a prize. ( do your part is common BLOCKED EXPRESSION whl626 Joined on Sun, Aug 24 2003 Regular Member 882 Learn English every day Verbs, Adverbs, Gerunds

	CalifJim  +  385889 Fri, 29 Jun 07 07:06 PM You can also change the adverb frequently to the adjective frequent. There are frequent discussions about that matter. In that case, the position is fixed before discussions.  You can't move it around.
