"His run/running makes me proud.
Which one should I say? Gerund or Infinitive?
"His run/running makes me proud.
That is a false choice. As written, "run" is a noun and "running" is a gerund noun. There is no infinitive. Without more context, I cannot choose.
Not a teacher.
As I see it, both are grammatically possible, but what should consequently be used depends on the context.
My friend runs faster than me. I would like to say I'm proud of his talent.
