Ms. Levy is expected to occupy a more prominent position in our company starting this spring, upon her final return to Colorado.
I have come across the pattern in bold many times, but I have never really spent time weighing it. Furthermore, I'd like to know if native speakers' viewpoints correspond to mine.
What speech part does starting this spring belong to? A gerund or a present participle? And how does this structure derive?
Thanks.
