Usage of VERB-ing

by vishalc581 Tue Oct 06, 2015 3:33 pm

Hi,

1) Can anyone explain the usage of VERB-ing and comma VERB-ing.

2) ,VERB-ing modifies the entire clause or it can also modify noun preceding it just before the comma (like the usage of which)

3) "Many people, willing to admit that they lack computer skills or other technical skills, are disinclined to recognize that their analytical skills are weak. "

In this sentence please explain the usage of ,willing. I know that VERB-ing it self cannot act as main verb in a sentence. So ,willing is acting as modifier and not a verb?

Thanks & Regards,
Vishal
