I agree

Yea I've had to also ask what is a gerund because I've got little to none formal english training lmao
> I appreciate your act of helping us
If it's supposed to be short for that as in "I appreciate your (act of) helping us" I guess it makes a bit more sense. I just really can't think of a situation where just "I appreciate your help" or "I appreciate you/you're helping us" would not suffice.
