let's consider this sentence :

"I've read some posts of users saying that the elephant is greater than the lion."

In a grammar point of view, what the type of "saying" here in the sentence?

And, can I say "users are saying" instead of "users saying" in the sentence?

  • You cannot use I've read some posts of users are saying. But you could use I've read some posts of users who are saying.

  • @Jason Bassford Yes, you said it right. What about the first sentence, is it right? And what the type of the verb "saying" inside it?

Yes that first sentence is right. "saying" would be a present participle modifying "users" or possibly "posts".
