Because the '-ing' endingis what is known as a gerund - it generally denotes an on-going process - "he is running", where it functions as a noun. In the belief situation it is a current status - "I believe you" is best.

No, in that case, "believing" and "running" is still a verb. If the sentence was "My believing in you is unreal" or "My running shouldn't be the cause of your sadness," then "believing" and "running" are considered to be gerunds.

What kind of usage is the following sentence The ate cow brown the grass. A. ungrammatical usage B. nonstandard C. grammatical D. standard usage?
A. Ungrammatical. You cannot move verbs and adjectives around as freely as you can with some adverbs. "The brown cow ate the grass" or less likely "The cow ate the brown grass."
