Note
A single spelling does two jobs. As a participle it builds progressive tenses and modifiers (the delay was angering passengers). As a gerund it names the act and can serve as a subject (angering a judge is unwise). Because anger is both transitive and intransitive ('to become angry'), the form can stand without an object. When it does take one, the object is the person provoked, while the cause is the subject.
