Answer 1

$\large{\underline{\underline{\bold{Gerund :-}}}}$

Gerund is a word that ends in -ing and functions as a noun.

• It expresses an action or a state of being.

• Since a gerund functions as a noun, it occupies the same position in the sentence that a noun does - subject, object or after a preposition.

This side is known for its fantastic bowling. (The object of a sentence)

The captain was upset with his team for the bad fielding. (the object of the preposition. )

Answer:

A gerund is any of various nonfinite verb forms in various languages; most often, but not exclusively, one that functions as a noun. In English, it has the properties of both verb and noun, such as being modifiable by an adverb and being able to take a direct object.
