Hello native English speakers.
Could you do me a favour and help me for my queries about two sentences.
1a. The sea has eroded the cliff face over the years.
( This is a complete sentence)
1b. The sea's erosion of the cliff face over the years.
( This is a noun phrase)
1c. The erosion of the cliff face by the sea over the years.
( This is a noun phrase)
Question:
Are they all grammatically correct?
Can these "expressions" be suggested the same meaning?
2a. Tom furtively ate three apples last week. ( This is a complete sentence)
2b. Tom's furtively eating three apples last week. ( This is a noun phrase)
2c. Tom's furtive eating of three apples last week. ( This is a noun phrase)
2d. For Tom to eat three apples furtively last week.
(This is a noun phrase expressed by infinitive)
