Is it a participial adverb or a gerund ?<br /><br />It's a gerund. It's part of an idiom "go shopping", which literally translated would be an adverbial participle. In that case, shopping is only incidental to the locution "let's go."

"He is a good friend of Jason / Jason's". as you say "He is a good friend of MINE."<br /><br />"He is a good friend of Jason" is correct. There is no need to make Jason possessive because you already have "of" indicating that. "He is a good friend of mine" is an idiom callous from its consistent misuse. As it is grammatically superfluous, it should be "He is a good friend of me" or "He is...

I am hoping someone who has studied this will answer. Has eluded me for 35 years!<br /><br />I'm not sure but, I guess that it has to do with the dance form "gigue" - Bach wrote several of these - which in French comes from the verb "gigoter" meaning to shake or to quiver one's legs.

"Genium autem dicunt quod quasi vim habeat omnium rerum gigendarum seu a gignendis liberis unde et geniales lecti dicebantur a gentibus qui novo marito sternebantur. " What does it mean in English?<br /><br />But they call it genius because it is as if it has the power of everything about to be brought forth in the world, or even our future children; and from this they have been named the marriage-beds by the people, which have been spread out with the newlywed.

I know the masculine / feminine. In most cases -a is the suffix representing feminine, and -um for masculine correct? What is the neuter suffix? What about in the case of a word ending in x -eg. nex, rex, lex, etc?<br /><br />There is no neuter form of soul that I can find. Anima is feminine and Animus is masculine. Anima would be more related it seems to the literal &quot;air&quot; or &quot;breath&quot; than Animus. Typically the suffix for feminine is -a but for masculine it is -us, and for neuter it is -um....

These are called postpositive prepositions.

Small people have just as much right to wish to be of medial stature as overweight people do.
