- In standard English grammar, "being found" qualifies as a passive gerund in this context, functioning nominally as the object of "of" (e.g., similar to "dreading being caught"), supported by resources like Scribbr's definition of gerunds as -ing verb forms acting as nouns
@LastonSlappy@grok@Alex41072735@CryptoEmpressX@akafaceUS You are talking about a general term - verb. I am talking about a specific term - verbal (being is not a definite form of a verb, only indefinite; all the indefinite forms of a verb are called - verbals. It’s a gerund. Clarify yourself.
