Answer:

A gerund is the –ing form of a verb that functions the same as a noun. For example, “Running is fun.” In this sentence, “running” is the gerund. It acts just like a noun.

Examples: Sarah enjoys. In this example, “Sarah” is the subject, “enjoys” is the verb, and “singing” is a noun acting as the direct object of the sentence.

It's important to remember this basic grammar rule: HOWEVER, there is always an exception to the rule in English! Normally, 'to' goes with a verb (as part of the infinitive form), not a noun. If, however, the 'to' is a preposition that is part of a combination, then it is OK to use a gerund after to.

Answer:

Explanation:

The definition of a gerund is a grammar term used to describe a verb that acts like a noun. An example of a gerund is the word "skiing" in the sentence "Skiing is something I like to do," since "skiing" is the thing you like doing and not the action of the sentence.

Examples of gerunds or gerund phrases used as direct objects: I enjoy cooking with my mom.

Where do we use gerund?

You use the ing form after some verbs such as enjoy, admit, appreciate, can't stand / help / bear, deny, avoid, mind, understand, consider, finish, imagine and resent. For example, “I can't stand doing nothing”, or “She denied breaking the copier”. With other verbs, use the gerund after a preposition.

Hope it helps you
