The past Participle (action past) is shown with the same arrow on top of the verb
but pointed to the left because the action is past.

The Gerund, as it is an action that is coming from the past but going into the
future, something that is happening, is made of both tenses, future and past, so we put
both dots on top of the verb:

Let's see these two sentences:


In the first sentence we are using the Gerund just as we have seen it; but in the
second sentence, although it expresses an action (to grow) that continues into the future,
the said word Growing
is acting more like an adjective attached to the noun Children. This
is why we put the underarrow in the direction of the noun Children.
