Chẳng hiểu phải làm gì với 1 đống câu ở trên.

Thỉnh thoảng tôi phải quyết định dùng gerunds nhưng tôi luôn gặp vấn đề với việc dùng nó vì tôi chưa tìm được qui tắc nào đó. Chẳng hạn, tôi không biết là
a dancing class hay a class of dancing đúng ?
Bác nktvnvn hoặc bác nào biết chỉ giùm tôi với. Tôi xin chân thành cảm ơn

đang cần nâng cao phần 2 nè, nhwung bac ânỳ đánh vội quá.. chả gạch chân A B C D.. THẾ THÌ chỉ có thầy mới làm được rhôi.. chịu khó gạch chân đi mọi ng sẽ lamg giúp.. ơ mà Mai thi rùi.. hôm nay đi chơi đi.. chứ học làm gì......... chúc ấy thi tốt nhé
Thi xong thì sửa lại bài nhé.. nhớ gạch chân mọi ng mới làm bái được chứ

Khi dùng gerund như tính từ bổ nghĩa cho danh từ thì dùng theo kiểu dancing class, swimming pool, talking dictionary, washing machine, v.v.

Art critics do not all agree on what are the qualities that make a painting great.
Đáp án của câu này là C: the qualities. Theo em đoán nó bảo sai vì không có "the". Nhưng sao lại thế nhỉ? Em nghĩ những noun mà có that/which đằng sau để giải thích thêm thì phải coi là danh từ đã được xác định rồi, và phải có "the" chứ?

Bác giải thích nhiều hơn chút đi. Trong trường hợp nào thì dùng gerund ở đằng sau of (ngoại trừ các trường hợp động từ + preposition + regund - cái này đã cụ thể).
Cám ơn bác
