Gerunds

A gerund is a word that looks like an “ing” form of a verb, but it acts as a noun in a sentence. These words have the qualities of both nouns and verbs.

Example:

Reading is my hobby.

Here  “reading” is a name given to an activity and all names are nouns. But it also represents an action, so it has the quality of a verb as well.

Gerunds can act as subjects.

Example:

Lying is a bad habit.

Gerunds can also act as objects.

Example:

She loves gardening.
