Answer 2

   $\huge{\boxed{\mathbb{WHAT\:IS\:GERUNDS...?}}$

• A gerund is a present participle verb ( ending in - ing ) which functions as a noun.

   √ It may be the subject, complement or object of a sentence,

       or the object of a preposition:

• Seeing is believing. ( seeing = subject, believing = complement )

• Children enjoy making mud castles. ( making = object of the verb enjoy)

• She is fond of wearing jewellery.  ( wearing = object of

                                                                      preposition )

  √ Gerunds may also be used adverbially.

• He is going shopping/fishing/riding/swimming/visiting.  

   √ Adjectives and verbs which are always found in

       combination with a preposition ( fond of, interested in,  

       object to) must be followed by a gerund, not by an

       infinitive.

• I object to doing it. ( not, to do it )

• I am interested in swimming . ( not, to swim )

• Who is responsible for breaking the mirror?

• I am looking forward to meeting your cousins. ( not, to  

                                                                                        meet )
