Abstract
ABSTRACT This work delves into the values which the Latin gerund has and the performances of expressions that use this verbal form with and without the preposition en in Spanish, paying special attention to its uses with a temporal meaning of simultaneity and to other non-temporal ones which come from it because they have received little attention from the bibliography. This fact is reflected in simultaneity studies, so we have proposed to redefine this concept and develop a new classification of types and subtypes so that, based on a self-compiledthe testimonies found in the different categories could be fitted. This methodology avoids fabricating ad hoc examples and allows working with real texts.
