Respuesta :

Answer:

Demonstrative Pronoun: "These"

Verbal: "earning"

Type of verbal: "gerund"

Personal pronoun: "my"

Explanation:

Demonstrative Pronouns: These are the pronouns which point to something specific within a sentence

Examples: this, that, these, those, such, none, neither.

Verbals: These are words made from verbs but functioning NOT as verbs but as something else (nouns, adjectives, or adverbs).

Examples: In the sentences; cooking requires a lot of skill, he is a learned man, she likes to eat mangoes, cooking (gerund), learned (participle), and to eat (infinitive) are verbals.

Gerund verbal: These are verbals formed by adding -ing after the verbs and functioning as noun. "earning" is acting as a noun; and hence is a gerund.

The personal pronoun "my" is used modifying gerund (noun) "earning"
