The present tense verb in English is called talk. It is exactly the same as to talk, except it is a verb and happening in the current tense. Notice that in the sentence It was great talking to you. the word was also the verb. ‘Talking to you’ should be a prepositional word. Is that rule basic rules taught in grade school? What if I is the verb and rest is a prepositional phrase. What if I was a verb? What is your question here? 🙂

In general, if one takes mesmerizing opportunities to be brave, I will be happy.
