Hi English teachers,
I am uncertain if my sentence is acceptable. Please tell me and I appreciate your guidance.
I am always astonished by newspapers telling me that electronic products are so low-priced.

Hi engineer,

@Loh Jane,
The ing verb ending often, but not always indicates that the verb in being used as a noun. That is called a gerund, by the way.

Why do you think that, Jane?
@roger,
I don't believe that that's the situation here, Roger.
