We know that some nouns are names given to
activities These nouns are special, because
they end with “-ing”.
Examples:
Dancing, hiking, singing, jogging
These are called gerunds To spot a gerund,
replace the word which ends with “-ing” with
just one noun.
Example:
She likes dancing.
Replacement: she likes apples.
If we can substitute easily and correctly
(grammatically), then we have spotted a
gerund.
Sometimes, we find a gerundive phrase in a
sentence,
Example:
He dislikes going to the market.
To get the full meaning of that part of the
sentence, we must consider the gerundive
phrase as a whole.
Examples:
We went hiking with our classmates (hiking
with our classmates is the gerundive phrase)
Andy went jogging this morning with his sister
(jogging this morning with his sister is the
gerundive phrase)
