Which is the correct word to use reminisce or reminiscing?

The correct word to use depends on the context:

* Reminisce is a verb, meaning to think about past experiences and events with pleasure.

* Reminiscing is the present participle of the verb "reminisce," often used in progressive tenses or as a gerund (a verb acting as a noun).

Here are some examples:

* "We reminisced about our childhood summers." (Verb)

* "They were reminiscing about their college days." (Present participle)

* "Reminiscing about old times can be a wonderful way to connect with loved ones." (Gerund)

In short, use "reminisce" when you need a verb, and "reminiscing" when you need a participle or a gerund.
