Which is the correct sentence?

[manyoda]

Zote ni sahihi. Inategemea unataka kumaanisha nini

 

[Kipala]

sasa kama unasema doing it means right now, to do it means in the future. Doing is present tense, something which is happening now.

Samahani, "doing" si hali ya sasa (present). Katika sarufi ya Kiingereza inaweza kuitwa "participle I". Kitu kile cha "participle" hatuna kwa Kiswahili. Kitenzi kwa "participle I" kinamaanisha jambo linaendelea wakati huohuo, kama ni sasa, jana au kesho. Kwa hiyo "doing" inapatikana kwa "I am doing something", "I was doing something", I will be doing something tomorrow".
I am reading (sasa), I was reading (jana), I will be reading (kesho)...

Tunajdaili Participle I ambayo huitwa pia "Present Participle" lakini hii haimaanishi "Present Tense". Inasema tu hali ya tendo linalotajwa kwa participle ni wakati huohuo wa tendo kuu la sentensi, tofauti na "Past Principle" inayotaja tendo lililokamilika wakati wa tendo kuu la sentensi:
I have done something (yaani imekwisha tendeka sasa), I will be done (nitakuwa nimetenda kazi wakati fulani ujao)

• The present participle, also sometimes called the active, imperfect, or progressive participle, takes the ending -ing, for example doing, seeing, working, running.
  
• The past participle, also sometimes called the passive or perfect participle, is identical to the past tense form (ending in -ed) in the case of regular verbs, for example "loaded", "boiled", "mounted", but takes various forms in the case of irregular verbs, such as done, sung, written, put, gone, etc.

...

The present participle, or participial phrases (clauses) formed from it, are used as follows:

• to form the progressive (continuous) aspect: Jim was sleeping.
• as an adjective phrase modifying a noun phrase: The man sitting over there is my uncle.
• adverbially, the subject being understood to be the same as that of the main clause: Looking at the plans, I gradually came to see where the problem lay. He shot the man, killing him.
• similarly, but with a different subject, placed before the participle (the nominative absolute construction): He and I having reconciled our differences, the project then proceeded smoothly.
• more generally as a clause or sentence modifier: Broadly speaking, the project was successful. (See also dangling participle.)

Mkuu verb yoyote yenye "ing ending" huitwa ama PRESENT PARTICIPLE" au "GERUND" though both the former and the latter function differently ...

"Present Continuous Tense" as you previously suggested isn't the name of the verb but one among SIX CONTINUOUS TENSES, as listed below:-

i) Present Continuous Tense
ii) Present Perfect Continuous Tense
iii) Past Continuous Tense
iv) Past Perfect Continuous Tense
v) Future Continuous Tense
vi) Future Perfect Continuous Tense

Examples:

Below are 4 given sentences as examples of the first four listed tenses above showing the word "watching" playing a part as PRESENT PARTICIPLE verb in different CONTINUOUS TENSES

i) Annet is keenly watching Korean drama
ii) Annet has been keenly watching Korean drama
iii) Annet was keenly watching Korean drama
iv) Annet had been keenly watching Korean drama

Mum often helps me doing my homework.

Does t make sense to if i say, mom helps me......, instead of mom often helps me........??, what i mean is that, there's no need to use the word often 'cos it means frequently, so i think mom helps...., is more formal than mom often helps......., cos mom helps, means she is helping him/her frequently/ often/ always/ everyday e.t.c..........

(i) Go home, but remember to come with your mum and dad tomorrow.

b) silence (abstract noun) or silent (adjective)

(ii) He became silent regardless being insulted a lot.
