So for your first example, “The word in a coin is ……..”
Has the embossment already happened? Or is it happening now?
Actually, a better way to say the same thing is “The word is embossed into the coin”.
For your second example, ask the same question: Does the person dislike the idea of repeating the work? Or is she upset at having been asked to repeat the work at some previous time?
A. embossed B. embossing
A, embossed is the correct answer. The coins have words on it that is embossed (3d or textured). It is not doing the embossing which is a verb; or making anything embossed.
She does not like ____ work
A. repeating B. repeated
A, repeating is the correct answer. repeated is present tense. “Does,” “like,” and “work” are present tense so “repeat” has to be present tense too.
Repeating (This is where you would use the verb since she is working)
Ing=Present
I am pwning noobs on Halo is present.
I have pwned noobs on Halo is past.
