Writing Skill: Writing more clearly using Perfect Gerunds

Perfect Gerunds are used to more clearly show the time relation between the main verb and another action. They make clear that a past action or event was finished in the past and is no longer true. They look like verbs but act like nouns. Although

they are not common in casual spoken English, they are very useful to make it clear the action was finished before the main verb.

Perfect Gerunds form: having + past participle

I want to apologize for having caused you many troubles. (I caused you troubles in the past, not now.)

We appreciate your having spent the time to make lessons so interesting. (You spent the time to make lessons interesting in the past)

Note:

If it is clear from the context that the action or event described by the gerund happens before the

main verb, we can use the Simple Gerund instead. The verbs remember and regret often goes

with Simple Gerunds (because you remember and regret things that already happened).

I remember having lots of fun in your class.

 

Dear Ms. Johnson,

How are you doing? It's been a long time since I last talked to you. I am writing to tell you that I really appreciate having had you as a teacher in high school. You showed me lots of love and helped me become a better person. The skills that I learned from you have helped me a lot.

I love having learned emotion management skills in your class. I was so stressed when I started living alone. Everything was new and different. Thanks to the skills you taught me, I was able to stay calm and control my feelings better.

I also appreciate your lessons on time management. Last semester I completed all my assignments! And thank you for having given me many great lessons about relationship building. I still remember what you said about showing our friends support. This helped me make many good friends.

Finally, I want to thank you for having made me spend many hours redoing my homework. I hated it then, but now I understand that you only wanted to help me get better. I learned a lot, and my assignments now get really good grades because of it.

Thank you for always supporting me and making me do my best.

Sincerely,

Patricia Harris
