  hi Tanya! how is it going?  may you clear up adverbs? let's take up this question i'd like for you the difference when it comes in beginning of the sentence , end of the sentence ,before the auxiliary verb,before adjective , after verb,before noun, and occasionally successive two adverbs is there any difference in the meaning ? i know this  a large question but if you have time i hope to explain it if you not just  make point the main clues.
  have a good day!

  Hi, Alhgag! "Experiencing darkness"  most probably means (in wildlife video) "living at the nighttime". It may be the name of the film, sounds right for that, or just a part of the sentence describing night wildlife.

  V-ing  can be the gerund or present participle, active. Both parts of speech describe the progressive action (the process). In the phrase "experiencing darkness", V-ing doesn't sound as the gerund. It is the participle (like Progressive tenses). The participle describes a state of an object at the given moment. For example:

  A reading boy means that the boy is reading now.

  Listening to her I was smiling (I was listening to her and smiling).

  The second example is like your example.

  OK, I will also explain about do and did in your examples.

  We often use do and did (past tense) in affirmative  sentences to make a predicate sound more expressive. If you omit do, the sense will be the same but the sentence will be less emotional.

  Is it clear now? Feel free asking again.

  Hi, Alhgag! I will gladly explain you the meanings of the words you mentioned.

  1. Experience  means:

     a)practical contact  and observation of facts or events

   

  He had learned his lesson by painful experience

   b) the knowledge or skill acquired by such means over time, especially that gained in a particular profession

  You should have the necessary experience in health management to work here.

  2. Experiment is a scientific procedure undertaken to make a discovery, test a hypothesis, or demonstrate a known fact

  This laboratory  carried out experiments on pigs

  3. Expiring means coming to the end. Expiring darkness means that it will be light soon.

  4. Variety is the quality or state of being different or diverse; the absence of uniformity or monotony

  It's the variety that makes my job so enjoyable

  I think that "dark variety" in wildlife documentaries may mean life of different creatures that are active at the nighttime.

  5. Variation means  different options of the same. In biology it means

  the occurrence of an organism in more than one distinct colour or form

   

  Have I made things clear for you? If not, ask again.

  Alhgag, I recommend you to download and to use Lingvo x3 dictionary. You can always find necessary explanations with the examples there. Unfortunately, I can't email it because its volume is more than 2 GB. But I can say, it is very helpful and correct contrary to many others.

  Hope, you will like the video I posted in your blog.

  Have a nice day!
