Dear colleagues, I need help with the following questions 1. Is monitoring in the following sentence a noun or a verb? "Cameras and tags are not the only ways of monitoring our actions." 2. What is the difference between monitoring and surveillance? Have a nice day and thanks a lot, |

Hi! To begin with, monitoring is a verb while surveillance is a noun. So, if you want to rewrite the sentence using "surveilance", I guess it would be something like this: "Cameras and tags are not the only means of surveillance of our actions." I hope that can help you! |

"Monitoring" is a gerund, which is a form of the verb, being used as a noun. You can be sure of this, because it is the object of the preposition "of". Bruce |
