THE GERUND Gerunds

EXAMPLES: 1. BOATING IS MY FAVORITE SUMMER ACTIVITY. 2. SHE ASKED HIM TO STOP HITTING. 3. WE ALL FELT SHE WAS OUT OF TURN BY TALKING OUT OF TURN. 4. THE PROBLEM IS THEIR CONSTANT FIGHTING. Gerund - a verb form ending in _ing that is used as a noun

EXAMPLES: 1. THEIR PARTYING WOKE UP THE NEIGHBORHOOD. 2. MISSY’S CRYING WAS TOTALLY INAPPROPRIATE. Hint: nouns or pronouns directly before gerunds should be possessive (his, her, their, or nouns with apostrophes)

EXAMPLES: 1. RUNNING INTO AN OLD FRIEND, ANGIE DECIDED TO MISS HER DATE. (This is a participle – it describes Angie) 2. I WAS LISTENING, BUT I COULDN’T HEAR ANYTHING.(Listening is part of the verb – it’s not a gerund) Warning: Gerunds can be easily confused with present participles used as adjectives or parts of verb phrases.

EXAMPLES: 1. WALKING AROUND THE LAKE MAKES ME FEEL HAPPY. 2. I CAN’T TOLERATE EATING WITH YOUR MOUTH OPEN. 3. THE ONLY ACTIVITY THE DOG ENJOYED WAS BARKING AT SQUIRRELS. 4. SHE FOUND JOY IN TEACHING WELL. Gerund Phrase – consists of a gerund and its modifiers and complements. The entire phrase is used as a noun
