Today's Daily Brain Teaser (Aug 17, 2013)
Ghostly
I creep in with feline grace -
Stealthy, silent, gliding -
Adding beauty, mystery, and stillness to all in my path.
My shape is ever-changing:
Pausing and moving, here and there,
A cool caress across your cheek as I slip quietly by.
But my looks are deceiving -
Peril may lurk behind my misty veil.
Slow down, be cautious, or you may abruptly meet with danger there.
What am I?
Check Braingle.com for the answer.

Vocabulary : Gerunds, Participles and Infinitives
A verbal is a verb that is used as a noun, adjective or adverb. For example, the verb sing can be turned into a noun by adding -ing as in, "People enjoy my singing". There are three types of verbals.
Gerunds
We have just seen this type of verbal. These are constructed by adding -ing to a verb to turn it into a noun. Here are some more examples:
"I went fishing."
"I love reading what you write"
Participles
A participle is a verb that is used as an adjective. A present participle always ends in -ing but a past participle can have different endings (-ed, -en, -d, -t, -n). Here are a few examples:
"The crying baby was hungry."
"Bob crawled away from the broken toy."
Infinitives
An infinitive is an unconjugated verb with the word "to" in front of it. These can be used as nouns, adjectives or adverbs. Some examples:
"I waited for the weekend to arrive."
"He wants to fly."
