I have read a lot about gerund, gerund phrases and participial phases; but I do not know how is grammarly named when gerung is used as an '' acting verb ''. for intance :
1) Richard Kuklinski was finally caught by an undercover ATF agent wearing a hidden wire
2) She identified the voice crying for help as her husband's voice.
In these two examples, gerund acts as an acting verb, but what is the gerund name in these cases ? ( whether I want to browse it in internet, in a grammar book, etc.)
I need a pricesely explanation about it, or should these two sentences be written as follows :
1) Richard Kuklinski was caught by an undercover ATF agent who was wearing a hidden wire
2) She identified the voice that was crying as her husband's voice
Please help me !
