EXPLANATION

• A verb in its past participle form ends with '-ing' is known as a gerund.
• It carries the properties of both nouns and adjectives.
• It is of 4 types namely,

1. Subjective - Used as a subject of a sentence. For example -' Gardening is my hobby'.
2. Predicate Nominative- Helps in completeing the meaning of a linking verb. Example - It was mostly cheering.
3. Direct objects- Gerund/gerund phrase acts as direct object of the sentence. Ex- Suman hates combing her curly hair.
4. Objects of preposition- Used before or after a preposition. Example - The policeman was famous for his quick thinking.
