More Information
A gerund is a verb form ending in '-ing' that functions as a noun. It can act as a subject, object, or complement in a sentence.
Tips
A common mistake is to confuse gerunds with present participles, which are also '-ing' forms but function as adjectives or adverbs. To avoid this, identify the function of the '-ing' word in the sentence.
