Q: Quelle est la différence entre 1. It was all hands on deck to get ready for the ceremony. et 2. It was all hands on deck getting ready for the ceremony. ?
A:

i’m really late to answer but maybe you still are curious to know the answer 😂

the quick answer is that they are exactly the same and both are completely natural.

the main phrase is “all hands on deck” and 90%+ of phrases can’t be changed, but anything before or after can be changed!

i did want to mention something that might be new to you or you didn’t realize:

My favorite hobby is walking in the park. = My favorite hobby is to walk in the park. (not always, but 80% of sentences you can use either)
i love to run = i love running

The entire part: [walking in the park] is a gerund phrase. It acts or behaves like a noun!

So…

Walking in the park is my favorite hobby. (correct and natural, although it’s less common)

To walk in the park is my favorite hobby (technically correct but very formal writing or phrases)

I could be done now, and you could stop now! I don’t want to confuse you, but I wanted to say 1) what is not a gerund and 2) when you probably shouldn’t change the sentence order.

1. (not a gerund)
When there are verbs like “was,” “is,” “be,” or “will be” or “am” before an verb + ”ing”

I “am walking” in the park.
I “will be coming” to your house tomorrow.

Coming to your house, I will be. (no!) 😂 (this is how Yoda talks in StarWars. this is unnatural unless you are pretending to be Yoda 😂)

2. (sometimes you need to change sentence order)
And lastly, if there is a verb before the gerund phrase, you have to change the sentence a little.

I love [eating ramen]
[eating ramen] is* what* I love.
[eating ramen] is my favorite.
(correct and natural, but it’s less common)

if you have any questions feel free to ask!
