"With all due respect, I think:\r\nSometimes it is a noun \"badly chosen\" that complicates the sentence and not a gerund or a word - \"ing\"\r\n1- Hugging the postman, Delilah ripped open the \"envelope\" containing her............ \r\nDelilah, yes, can simultaneously hug the mailman and open an envelope. ...or while the hug lasts ..... This is very possible\r\n\r\n2- Approaching the mailman I take the newspaper ( from or of  ... or... )  the lawn\r\nThis is very possible, too.\r\n\r\n3- I think that writing is a verb in this sentence \"Writing is the hardest job you'll ever do.\" As in \"Dashing through the snow  ...........\r\n4- \"Seeing is believing\" is beautiful sentence to start a sentence or phrase, but it is not a sentence, but a sentence (ruling) or a proverb or a compressed phrase, of: \"You have to see, to be able to believe\" or maybe it is actually longer."
