demonstrating
- 1Present participle and gerund of demonstrate.

Note
The -ing form carries both halves of the verb, and the object decides which one you hear. With an object it shows or proves: demonstrating a technique, demonstrating that a claim holds. Without one it means taking part in a public demonstration, as in students demonstrating outside the embassy. As a gerund it heads a phrase like any noun: demonstrating the proof took an hour.
