Por que alguns verbos em inglês iniciam a frase no gerúndio?

Sabe? Não? Então cola na thread e aprende :D
Todos sabemos, em um primeiro momento, que o verbo vai para o gerúndio no Present Continuous:

- She is studying English now!

Só que daí você acha isso:

- Studying English is a great thing if you want to have a great career!

Cadê o Present Continuous aí? Pois é, não tem!
Nesse caso, o verbo no início da frase é o sujeito! Assim, a forma adequada é com o sufixo ING.
Então, lembre-se: quando o verbo for o sujeito da frase, ele estará no gerúndio em inglês, embora na tradução, ele seja falado no infinitivo:
- Practicing exercises is a great way to avoid health problems.

- Having dinner out is so good when you have friends to enjoy it with you!

- Following my Twitter is a fantastic way to help your English study :D
E não esqueça que autores de livros, ou de textos, utilizam o gerúndio na primeira palavra de um título:

Understanding Phrasal Verbs .... Entendendo Phrasal Verbs

Comparing Prices ...Comparando Preços

Nesse caso, não se trata de infinitivo!
