To native speakers, normally do you use adverbs to modify these v-ing worlds especially when they are the objects of the verbs?
Like:
I regret swimming hurriedly
Not
I regret hurried swimming.
Right? And what about these two sentences:
I regret stamp-collecting
or
I regret collecting stamps
Besides, when using these words, it still retains the verbal characteristics right? Like:
The house needs a careful cleaning.
has the same meaning with
The house needs carefully cleaning.
or
The house needs to be cleaned carefully.
(SOMETHING like passive voice)
