which sentence is correct?
3.)i don't like people dressing conspicuously. - is correct

Original sentences (two simple sentences) = I don't like people. They dress conspicuously.
You can combine the two sentences into one, using who (relative pronoun)
= I don't like people who dress conspicuously.
Now another sentence can be formed, using a present participle (not a
gerund) to replace who dress
= I don't like people dressing conspicuously.
e.g. I saw two people. They wore black glasses.
= I saw two people wearing black glasses.
e.g. The policeman was chasing a robber who ran quickly.
= the policeman was chasing a robber running quickly.

3 is correct, but adding 's after "people" , that is " I don't like people's dressing conspicuously.", would be better.

3。
呢個係叫gerunds。gerunds係一種把一個verb加ing變成noun。e.g.I run fast.(我很快地跑。此run是verb。)Running is an interesting sport.(跑步是一種有趣的運動。此running是noun。
I don't like people dressing conspicuously.
我不喜歡人穿衣顯眼。

gerunds係一種把verb加ing變成noun既句式。

反對樓上!!不是adverb,係noun!!!

2012-06-25 08:28:35 補充:
dressing conspicuously就係一個noun。
dressing conspicuously(穿衣顯眼)。
I don't like people dressing conspicuously.
呢句冇左conspicuously,就變左我不喜歡人穿衣。
明唔明?唔明再問
參考: me
