الرجاء قراءة السؤال الاتي ثم قراءة الملف الذي تم رفعة
I fell asleep during watching the film

طيب فين هوا الامتحان؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟
ياريت ترفعه بسرعة

الكلام ده سليم 100% لكن للاسف امتحان القاهرة فيه during + gerund

القاعده صحيحة ولكن بها عدم استحسان
 

You can use a gerund with during, but the wording needs to change. Generally speaking, you would need to add an article or a possessive adjective. Even so, this construction will often sound awkward.

- During the showing of the movie, I fell asleep. (a little awkward, but grammatically correct)

- During the watching of the movie, I fell asleep. (very awkward, but technically grammatically correct. ...")

- During the movie, I fell asleep. (In German, genitive: "Während des Filmes ...")

- While (I was) watching the movie, I fell asleep. , ...")

"during" is usually not followed directly by a gerund. The gerund would most likely be preceded by an article:

During the building of the house, a severe tornado occurred in the area, completely destroying the construction.

The director realized during a reading of the play that the entire third act had to be changed.

However, there are some instances where "during" is followed directly by a gerund, as in "Don't disturb the animals during eating."

both the last three answers are correct and i once discussed the matter with mr essam wahba and reached the same conclusion
