سؤال رائع
Can "during" be followed by v + ing or a noun only

الرد

During can only be followed by a noun. During the summer, during lunch, etc.
Sometimes the verb + ing acts like a noun. It is then called a gerund. During can sometimes be followed by a gerund, for example During filming, the main actor had an accident. But this doesn't work with all gerunds (I can't say "during eating"). So you may see such gerunds in your reading, but it is best to avoid them in your own work unless you're sure that the usage is correct.
