At B2 in the English Grammar Profile, point 52 in the category of VERBS/patterns is defined as:
introducing a new subject before the ‘-ing’ form (using noun or object pronoun)
For example:
This session is designed to stop you wasting time and procrastinating when you need to be getting an earlier night.
* The example above can also be structured: “stop you FROM wasting time”
_VV _P _V*G
*Notice that the ‘get/keep somebody doing somthing’ grammar structure is frequent here. Also, not all pronouns/nouns are subjects of a new clause. Much of this is still B2 as ‘verbs of the senses + object + verbing.’
