| Is the underlined word planning in the following sentence a gerund? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- They are sure the extra planning will make the difference in the end. Thank-you nicoleb |

| If you believe that the "gerund" is a valid grammatical concept in English,* then "planning" is indeed a gerund. "Planning" is of course a noun here. * I'm not convinced. |
