[Grammar] new research shows that gossiping might be good for us.

[sania-baharat]

We all enjoy gossiping about people we know, although sometimes we might feel guilty about it afterward. However, new research shows that gossiping might be good for us.

Can we replace the bold part with “ to gossip” too? Both of them are noun.
Can we relace “ might” with “ could or may” ?

Can we replace the bold part with “to gossip”? [STRIKE]too?[/STRIKE]

Yes, but "gossiping" works better in that sentence.

Both of them are nouns.

I don't know what you mean by that. Neither is a noun. "Gossiping" is a gerund, and "to gossip" is an infinitive. They are functioning as the subject in that sentence.

Can we replace “might” with “could" or "may” ?

Yes.
