Question

(ii) Chaitanya offered to buy the tickets for us. (Rewrite it using the
‘ing' form of the underlined words.)​

Answer 1

Chaitanya offered for buying the tickets for us.

• In the sentence above, the underlined word is to buy.

• When we add an -ing to the verb of a sentence such that it starts to behave like a noun, then such a word is referred to as a gerund.

• In the sentence above, buying is the verb of the sentence but seems like a noun. Hence, it is a gerund.
