| A gerund is a verb putting on different clothes. It's not posing. Instead, it's a pose. :wink: (A gerund is spelled just like a verb (participle), but it functions as a noun. Examples: "He was painting a picture." (verb) "He was looking at a painting." (noun)) :) |

What is does: A gerund is a noun. A gerund is a noun that ends in -ing, and like other nouns, it functions as (1) the subject of the sentence or (2) as the object of the verb or (3) as the object of a preposition: (1) Swimming is fun. (Subject + Verb + Object) (2) I like swimming. (Subject + Verb + Object) (3) Tell me about swimming. (Verb + Object + Preposition + Object) Gerunds are also called verbal nouns. They are not verbs, though; they just look like verbs because they end in -ing. |
